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

[Kysaiana]

The reason you wouldn't see 2 geodes in an abyssea ally is because the drop rate on day is abysmal. I attempted to farm flame geodes last night during firesday and got 0. There was a tiny window where wind weather showed up during firesday and the first mob I killed during it dropped a breeze geode... was kinda sad but whatever, breeze geodes still go for a bit on siren. If SE is unwilling to make fire weather more common, it would be nice if the drop rate during days wasn't so bad that you completely waste about an hour trying.

That's just it. It's 100% a waste of time to bother farming it EVER, because you know that at most you might get 1 in an hour. In 1 hour I can make way more than the 80k gil required to pay for a flame geode.

Problem is that there's always so few on AH (partially thanks to them goldsmiths as well), as no one ever can farm for it; just if someone happens to pick one up on the rare occasion when that happens, it makes sense to put it on the AH for some free money. Also for the sake of the flame geode starved community.

Kill faster. I bet I can get 6 an hour lol.

Again, how does changing it negatively impact you in any way? Until someone answers that question, none of the people arguing against it have anything remotely resembling a valid point.

Because people could actually enjoy having something somewhat good while they play the game >:O what worse crime against humanity could you possibly commit!?

Show us, then.

Record a video of an hours of firesday killing so we can see how many you get from your awesome, speedy killing.

[Teraniku]

Like I've said, the most I've seen drop on a day is 3 max for me.

Was that supposed to be a good number? I'm assuming you're talking about fire weather (because on fire day that'd be completely impossible; you're lucky to get 1-2). Giving aside the problem that it's practically impossible to count on there BEING fire weather, we're looking at you coincidentally seeing that fire weather is forecasted, you get to your farm spot ahead of time, start on time, the weather lasts all day.

After all that you manage to get 6 geodes. I'm highly skeptical that this would ever happen, but let's say you do. Alright; now try and go do this again some point in the near future (you won't). Why? Because this kind of chance is very rare. Also keep in mind you've gotten 6 out of 55 geodes; you've barely put a dent in it.

What's the point of getting 6 geodes? It's much simpler to farm the equivalent cost of them out of dyna or in cruor farming.


More on the positive side, I got up to the final flame geode trial, I've currently got 20/40 geodes, and 15/15 ifirites! Fire str h2h, here I come (in a day or two).

[TMG]

I have yet to exceed 2 flame geodes in a single Firesday. PLEASE adjust the drop rate during the day if you can't make fire weather more common. Buying them wouldn't be a problem if there were actually enough of a supply, but you can't farm these reliably for money. You can make more than 80-150k doing just about anything else over the course of a game day. There's 17 up on the auction house on my server at the moment. It may take about a week to see enough of them posted up long enough for just ONE person to make a STR magian weapon. That's assuming this person doesn't spend all their time camping geodes on the auction house as soon as they're put up like crafters commonly do.

People please stop saying this. There is no supply to buy if no one farms the things, so you can do your cruor farming and your dyna farming but you will get nothing so long as no one else is picking them up for you!

Sorry if I took this out of context but honestly this attitude is annoying!
