#002 "A flagon or two o' grog havin' filled me 'ead with big ideas. I eyed that 'ive o' villainy from the pier in the dead of night, feelin' as if I could cut down One-eyed Hyllfyr 'imself. Woke the next mornin' strung up by me ankles. Aye, was lucky to escape with me life." Such were the buccaneer's words, and I would see as he saw.

#003 "In a dank cavern that's never known the sun, the patter of the rain me only companion, I dropped to one knee and said me farewells to me ill-fated mates. They sing no songs for fisherman, but the sea swallows us all the same." Such were the old mariner's words and I would see as he saw.

Hurray for back-to-back showers in Eastern Thanalan over two time periods! Must really be rare to see normal rain indeed. All of us are just playing the waiting game, right? But it's been confirmed it's not rain at 12am-8am?

I met someone on my server who confirmed that they were present with Rain from 12am to 8am and they and their FC mates had tried every emote, standing and sitting, every hour through that period.

But that *is* second-hand experience, so personally, if it happens, I'll verify it myself.

Also, I've not seen Rain in the zone since patch, just showers.

Also, weather is the same across all servers and therefore not randomly generated - there must be a table out there that weather generates from and I have a sneaking feeling that the content has been 'gated' weekly, or maybe two-daily (like Odin and Behe) to slow down progression. I have a feeling the pattern will repeat for each 20...

#005 "When the skies turn grey and spirits sag, I climb high and look upon roads blazed long ago. I turn my thoughts to the hardships of my forebears till mine own worries drift away, and I find strength to carry on." Such were the sentry's words and I would see as she saw.
Middle La Noscea: La Thagran Checkpoint (25, 27) | Morning (8am to 12pm) | Overcast | /lookout [Tyson Bloodsurge - Balmung]

Just a quick word of advice-

I went gung ho on this and got all the spots figured out (except 018...) rather fast. My boyfriend was a bit behind me, so I had him test something. I had him go to a vista on the correct time and weather, but had him spam-click the emotes - including the correct emote -to see if it would pick up the correct emote and proc. It did not. It didn't even respond when he began typing the correct emote. He had to leave the vista, go back to it, then perform the correct emote to proc it.

So, just a heads up.

I'm pretty confident the #18 one is /comfort. At least in the english Client it says comfort - the german client has the exact phrasing that is needed for the german equivalent of that emote...

It was like that in every of the other 19 so i'd say we are only waiting for Rain, not frigging showers and need to get them at the right time... which probably wont happen the first time Rain hits that area - but who knows~

My time guess is midday (12pm to 5pm) because of the thirsting land - in the german client it says something about flowers that need water. @ and after noon would be the time to prevent the flowers from burning up - but that's just a long reach wild guess so far. And as long as we don't get the weather we can't even try *sigh*
