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

[Demon6324236]

Forget Alex & HMPs -_- I tried to point that out, thats not any part of importance. I tried to show that with requoting what I said, and Ill once again, and again I have removed the part about Alex or HMPs.

Problem is someone in the world needs to get items in order for them to be sold. If I have 10 billion gil it matters nothing when no one is farming Flame Geodes. In other words, someone has to farm them, even if I have the money, so why is it the farming cant be done in a reasonable manner so that I can actually spend my money on them?

Buying them is only possible so long as another player obtains them and is willing to sell them. The problem is in the rarity of the required weather or day, thats 1 time every 8 hours or so for day and weather is very random, mostly only during 1 time of the in game year, which is really 1 time of the real life week.

Now to explain what I mean about something being "unable to be farmed" I mean that there is no reliable way to farm them, I could sit in Altepa for 6 hours and see not 1 fire weather, I could see 5 spits of weather 1 minute each, or I could see 1 weather that lasts for 40 minutes without going away, there is no real way of telling. The day has a low drop rate, I normally see 1~3 on most days, with 5 at most on lucky days, this is a very low rate of dropping, and not a reliable way to make money or farm them, so many players will probably avoid it, meaning there is lower supply for buyers and fewer people farming them for themselves.

Exactly why we need fire weather increases.

I have been farming geodes by going about my business, doing VW and the sort. Then going to farm them on firesday and keeping ff11info.com up for fire weather. Unless I play all day long for days at a time then I will get a single fire weather every few days and even then it lasts for ~10 minutes. Which is two geodes if I am lucky, but generally just one.

Just hit up a firesday and got two geodes by 5:00 game time, and then I did not see another one after almost 100 kills (pulled out my NPC to keep track and I was on THF with TH7/8 on the mobs) which is just dumb. Here I was thinking I might get three, but forget that! Thanks for nothing SE! To be fair this does mean I can farm them up, but it is really ridiculous compared to every other geode in the game, and still needs to be fixed.
