All of this arguing is unnecessary and entirely misses the point. The availability of fire weather in this game is NOT balanced when compared to other weathers. As a result, it is not as easy to farm flame geodes. This is a fact. Calling people lazy doesn't change this. Yes, you can farm flame geodes on Firesday. That still doesn't change the fact that you can reliably farm every other type of geode outside of its respective day.
Camate and Okipuit are correct in that the *drop rates* for each of the types of geodes are balanced when compared to each other. Where they are wrong is claiming that there isn't a big difference in the *rate of obtaining* flame geodes versus the other elements. Snow, Wind, Darkness, Water and Light weather are available almost 100% of the time in their respective zones. The latter two ARE available 100% of the time. Thunder and Earth are also very common. You will be able to obtain these geodes much more quickly than you will flame geodes because you have more opportunities to farm them thanks to frequent weather.
I personally think certain zones like Ifrit's Cauldron and Mount Z should have very frequent fire weather. If the dev team doesn't think this is a problem, then I will have to respectfully disagree. Where I do have a problem is their claim that the only reason flame geodes are so expensive is because fire magian trials are so popular. They cannot deny that fire weather is by far the least accessible weather in this game. If fire weather were more accessible, flame geode prices would be about the same price as breeze geodes.
