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

[Reiterpallasch]

So current market value of flame geode is 70,000 gil, which would mean for the 55 you need for a weapon trial, would cost you 3,850,000 gil.

ITT: 3,850,000 is somehow a lot of gil.

While its not super Expensive for some players, for a lot of average joes, Thats a high amount. You also have to consider some players have to do Multiple, I personally have 4 Fire Weapons i want to complete... Axe, Sword, Katana, and Dagger.

Its roughly 16mil Gil to complete these, Which Is a tad silly, and absolutely out of reach for a lot of players, Who don't have great ways to make gil. While a lot of them could do Logwatch, the chance of them striking it rich in LogWatch is quite low, Even on good days most people will go 20~40+ Qilins or What have you without a HMpouch being seen.

You also have to consider a lot of players who chose Flame path over say, Relic, Or Empyrean, Are likely more casual players who don't get to play that often, and they view this as a tangible goal to reach, and the level 90 Weapons are actual decent in themselves.

So, While it may be easy for you and me, Our experiences aren't always the norm or the most common.

Snow = 1k
Aqua = 1k
Shadow = 1k
Thunder = 5k
Light = 10k
Soil=10k
Breeze = 15k
Flame = 85k

You don't see the problem here?

No, I dont. Better items sell for more than crappy items. And even at 100k each, the end result weapons of a lot of that magian path are worth the price. If they werent worth it people wouldnt pay that much and the price would go down.

[Komori]

Actually, isn't the flame geode price more-so affected by smithers? Because flame geodes become 2mil items? So even if magian trialers went on strike and didn't buy them, smithers still would.

I think 2STR daggers would be half a relic at that point.

[Winrie]

I'm not seeing what the problem is with flame geodes drops or price. Whenever I go to farm them I end up with a pretty gold haul of them. The only issue I see is everyone wanting things in this game asap, farm em on day or in weather zones like everyone else lol.

[Komori]

Because my personal experience is everyone else's experience and just because I get ten Toci's Harness to drop in one run, it might mean that the drop rate is near 90% and not 0.1% like everyone says it is.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

There's an easy answer to the drop rate issue. Add geodes as regular drops to their associated elementals like cluster.

Excuse me for not being a 1%er in the game.

This is a lie and/or egaggeration. A "good haul" farming geodes on an associated day is 5. I've been out numerous times on days withteh same weather even and the average ammount is 3.

Uh, what makes you think they're going to fix this "problem" when RNGs are required to pay 130k per ingot for a stack of bullets? There is tons of crap in this game that's over-expensive; get over it. I probably spent your 3.8M or whatever it was last week playing my job.

Says the job that was designed to shoot gil. Get more recycle, STP and regain. The mechanics of rng has nothing to do with the drop rates of geodes.
