New Elemental Staves

[cdgreg]

It's not too bad, if you have a decent sword or dagger skill just melee ones in Ro'Maeve to about 15% then finish off with Fire III. What I did with the ice path and didn't take long at all.

Thanks. I have joytoy with atleast 75 capped skill, I'm guessing /nin is no good because they bind and whatnot?

You don't need shadows, just signet and phalanx, so you can /dnc for the same amount of dual wield + erase waltz

How the fuck on a fuck am I going to solo 250 skeletons for the new wind staff? What the shit, SE?

Do you have access to a thf or dnc acct?

Seems the +2 upgrades require a certain amount of Geodes.. Hmm this is good or bad depending..

I personally got a Soil Geode off a Flan in Mt.Z. on ice day and with no weather; could be a chance weather disappeared a second after the drop, wasnt paying that much attention as I wasnt expecting anything 'special' to drop.

[SephYuyX]

Just got another Soil, and it was earth weather for sure this time.

[Xerlic]

Do the +2s add +Damage or +Accuracy?

[Not Kuno]

all +2 are - casting time

[Dakana]

We've had several Lighting and Light geodes drop off little worms in Aby Attowa

[cdgreg]

Any idea how many goedes an upgrade needs? In abyssea can't check =*(

[SephYuyX]

15 for all staves it seems.

[Tavjon]

Uleguerand Range for Ice Geodes then? since they can drop on day/weather

[Corresapolonia]

depends on day as it seems. did alliance in konschtat abyssea at lizzys. the also drop of mobs there. geodes depended on day of the week.

[Dakana]

So here's what I've noticed so far.

In aby the geodes seem to drop on a day basis.

I've been farming ice in Ule though and the behavior seems different than inside abyssea. They seem to only drop in weather and also they only drop every 5mins ish (like crests/seals do)

[NynJa]

I'd rather killshots over this then >.>

unlessssssssssssss, are they AHable? nvm they are

[Dakana]

Nm had one drop for the day just now (however it took alot of kills rather than the normal 2-3 after the time limit like it was with weather)

[Bungee]

It looks like the geodes can be sold on AH so they should be too bad to get. Especially as a lot of non-mages get them as drops.

[Foldypaws]

They're used for the melee weapons too, not just staff. STR, attack+ sword is 15 fire geodes for example.

[SephYuyX]

All the Geodes I got were based on the weather and not the day. I guess a chance for both to drop, higher chance when both the same day/element perhapse.
Now the question is, which mobs do they drop off of. All? Crest lvl mobs?

[Alkimi]

LS member reported them dropping from mobs as low as level 60.

[Shish]

and also they only drop every 5mins ish (like crests/seals do)

i was half asleep in my chair last night when it happened, but we had 2 thunder geodes in pool at same time.

bet these things drop from 75+ mobs onry, on day/weather.
