The Flame Geode Thread...... Again.

really enjoying the 75k per geode sells

And this is the real reason a handful of people don't want things changed. Don't let them fool you. They're not concerned with other peoples' effort or lack thereof. No one in their right mind, and minding their own business, would even care about that. No, they're worried about their craft or farming income being nerfed.

SE was particularly stupid to combine weapon upgrade trials with crafting. Why didn't they let us make armor from Alexandrite? Why can't we make earrings and necklaces out of Ancient Currency? If not for this incredibly asinine decision, I doubt there would be nearly as much resistance from other players on making flame geodes and fire weather more available.

Are you mad that you can't go to a place with lower level mobs and clear weather on a firesday?
Or are you just too lazy?

I'm trying to make a -perp/BP Delay staff for Ifrit. Tell me why that particular staff should cost me more or take me longer to complete than any of the others? It does the exact same thing for Ifrit as the ice-based staff does for Shiva or the dark one does for both Fenrir and Diabolos. You go work on a set of those staves and then come back and tell me I'm lazy.

you're lazy (see, i came back)
sounds like you picked the wrong weapon. <<that's too bad.>>

i only have smn for PD-mule, and nothing more, so i'd have to be a moron to make a weapon just per request of someone over a forum.

Yep, just as much a troll as I suspected. I just hope the folks at SE are smart enough to ignore you.

just keep saying that to yourself, it's not going to get you flame geodes any faster (or gil)

I see where you get your name from. Perhaps you lost your legs and now have a prosthetic hence Plasticleg. Now I can see where your unhappiness clouds your judgement. Perhaps the leg was a war injury and you now feel bitter causing you to think others are just lazy if they don't want to work as hard as you believe you once did. Thus you arrogantly go around accusing others who have a problem with the current availability of an item lazy.

Anyway, the main topic on the forums nowadays goes back to the term balance. It really does not matter how high or low the demand for the item is. It is simply that the flame geodes availability is unbalanced due to fire weather being the rarest weather in the game. That is it, and we do not need a huge thread going back and forth about it with SE putting their hands back going "don't look at me bro".

Finally, just to respond to Demnon's post to me. Apparently you just see it differently, but here is how we get to the bottom line of geodes not being alexandrite or heavy metal.
It is pretty simple too, and it goes like this. Fifty five, thirty thousand, and one thousand five hundred.

You really want to tell me that you can relate the two to a geode on the premise of popularity and lack of access? If you think the demand for a geode is anywhere near that of a metal or alex then I just do not know what to tell you because that is flat out wrong. The method for getting all three is different too so to throw them all in the same boat with the nonsensical title of "not farmable" is just odd.
What does "not farmable" even mean? The items all have to be gathered from what they drop from in game. The only items "not farmable" are the ones you can not obtain.

The high price for Alex and Metal comes from their widespread demand for trials that are intended to be harder to complete and stronger than what a flame geode is used for. Flame geodes too are not even at the price of a few Alex or a Metal because of the trial.

You honestly might as well just say the three are all items in FFXI and therefore are similar.

You miss the point entirely. Alot of fire trials that are not the same as the base weapon trials, such as the staff trials as a whole, are effected by this pricing, and as such are much more expensive than their counterparts, however have no special benefit that makes them stand above the rest.
