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

[Aarahs]

If it's so taxing to make a fire trial weapon why don't you make a different type? Others have mentioned how you can farm the geodes if you're so set on finishing one. Even if you're only able to get 1 each firesday you farm, that's only 55 hours of work and it's scattered over a period of time. If you farm a mob that also drops gil or another sellable item, you're increasing your efficiency and expanding your options. It really should not be difficult to finish the trial if you put some effort into it.

If you're complaining about doing the geode trial multiple times, you'll get no sympathy from me.

The rep has already pretty much told you the fire weather won't be changed. The design of the expansion's zones are most likely complete by this point, so asking for extra fire weather is pointless (that's not to say they didn't already build some of those zones in already).

The person who asked why it would affect people negatively if the drop rate was increased... Yeah, the only reason I can think of someone seriously asking that question would be if they joined after abyssea or if they somehow never looked at the market.

They should increase fire weather to a level in line with the other elements, and leave the drop rate as is. The market is a concern, but it should be secondary to people trying to complete content.

It's not like crafters won't still be able to charge an arm and a leg for gems and rings. Heck the demand for flame geodes could actually increase as more people find fire weapons more reasonable to obtain. Right now you have a lot of people staying out of the market entirely because it just isn't worth it compared to the alternatives.
