Who cares, geodes were solved months ago. Plant cactus stems in 10 pots, get 1-6 geodes of the element of your crystal a week later. Repeat on all your mules. They even added an npc that sells cactus stems, so you don't even need to farm those any more.

The hard part of fire trials was having to take 5 times as long to complete them because you did it on fires day instead of fire weather. And except for magian staves and Rune Fencer, skirmish/Naakual weapons are better and easier to get now anyway.
