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

[kewitt]

In-game date was 11/13 and 11/14---half-way into the fall season, so cooler weather patterns are more prominent now. You just missed the two days fire weather was actually in the forecast (Windsday and Lightsday, 11/09 and 11/11 respectively). There may be some more odd occurrences that crop up...have a few dates noted that should still be accurate for this in-game calendar year:

12/17, Watersday in Kuzots (07:09 Eastern on Sept. 6)
12/30 Darksday in Kuzots (19:38 Eastern on Sept. 6)

If these game days also hold true like the others I've recently checked on, it may pop again on these days as well:

01/21, Iceday in Kuzots (15:48 Eastern on Sept. 7)
01/25, Firesday in Volbow (19:38 Eastern on Sept. 7)
01/27, Watersday in Volbow (21:33 Eastern on Sept. 7)

Granted, these may well be very short cycles for some of these forecasts because it is "off-season weather"...but the point is it follows a predictable pattern if one takes the time to track it. So far during the past 3 weeks, it has been a 100% match for the last 10 specific dates I have checked against in my notes from the last time I specifically hunted weather/days for geodes for a friend a few months back.

Not saying the system in general couldn't use some tweaking, but there IS a way to mitigate some of these problems IF you are willing to put in the effort.

So I'm need to plan my life around FFXI I think not. FFXI is something to do when I got free time not something I do because I have to get something done in. Sorry I don't mind spending time farming on fireday for 1 hour every few days when I log in and it's darkday. To get zero geodes sucks for something I should be able to build up 2-5 per fireday easy. That would still take me more then a month.

If I had hours and hours to play and get people to do things I would go after a mystic or emp or relic.

Honestly I hear people in my LS coming out of Dynamis daily with 100-150 dynamis money, atleast at that rate I could see the goal of a relic coming out of it. Farming flame geodes I don't see the goal because it seems to take so much effort for so little gain.

Nothing is out of reach, you'r just lazy.

Please explain how it's lazy to spend 1 hour and get no results. Your adding nothing to the discussion other then trolling and it isn't helpful.
