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

[Fupafighter]

But if they could be reliably farmed on your own, you wouldn't have to deal with the AH prices to complete your weapons. You could do it by being out in the field, killing stuff in fire weather, which to me sounds like the exact opposite of laziness.

Currently, the only way to specifically target flame geodes for farming is to schedule your life around when it's firesday in FF11, and when the season with a bit more fire weather is in effect. That's fine for people who are "hard core", cause scheduling your life around a game isn't too unusual for them anyway, but this is not how most average players like to play their games. And the way I see it, these weapons are meant more for these players than the hardcore players. Hardcore players just screw all this geode business and get an empyrelicmythic right away. Except maybe an eva/pdt weapon here and there, but those are a lot cheaper anyway.

The sad part is it's more efficient to farm gil and buy geodes for ANY weather magian. Idk why people would honestly want to farm the geodes rather than gil -----> buy. Unless you don't know how to make gil.

Why should it stay like that, though? Why does Trial of the magians have to be Trials of the gillians?

Also, what if someone knows how to make gil, but lacks the gear to do it efficiently? Perhaps they would get something like oh I don't know a fire trial weapon to make it easier to actually make lots of money? Everything is easy when you already have money to invest with. You gotta spend money to make money, this is true, but it's hard to spend money to make money when you don't have any money to spend.
