#011 "Cute little bugger, isn't he? The moogle, that is. Seein' him up there on a clear day, swayin' gently in the wind, it's enough to lull a man to slumber. Me, I settle for a stump and a moment's repose." Such were the stablehand's words and I would see as he saw.

Looks like the weather for #14 and #15 were switched. #14 requires Fair, #15 requires overcast. Times are accurate though.

Yes, that one needs overcast, as it says in the OP of this thread. don't trust any random googledocs with info on these. All of them that I have seen have had tons of wrong information.

#010 "My favoritest place is where I can see the falling water. There's a secret path that only I know. I snuck out of bed to go there last night. Mum and Dad made me promise I wouldn't climb up there anymore - you won't tell them, will you?" Such were the little boy'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...

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*

Rain in eastern thanalan right now! First time seeing it too!

Seems the same across multiple servers, rain here, too. No emote worked from 12-4, will try the cycle at 5

its raining right now ; ; nothing has worked, make sure to step out of vista, and step back in

I think Data centers share weather we are all from Aether datacenter

5:00 nothing, 10 ppl here spamming everything, stepping out and back in

Siren had rain (12am to 8am) and we had no one get credit.

Ridiculous lol. So 12am to 8am rain does not work.

Same, but Sargatanas instead of Siren.

Same on Mateus. Rain was there, and emotes a plenty, but no dice. Tartar sauce.

Oh, and to go back to the post about spamming emotes not working - it works as long as you don't spam them so fast that they don't register in the chat log. I tried out some spots on a couple of my alts and it didn't work when I did them and the chat log didn't register them, but as long as it says in the log I performed the action, I got credit, no matter what else I was doing.

19/20 now too.... first rain in 2+ RL days and ofc it was at the wrong time... i wonder when it will happen that we get it in one of the other two windows :/

So I tried every range of emote possible for 18. I even took it literal and pulled out everything having to do with the location (laurel goobbue mount, goobbue sprouting minion). I took the statement as literal as possible too and also used succor several times out of desperation :p and even switched to botanist. I'm sure mounts, minions, classes and abilities won't effect vistas but just wanted to throw it out there that I tried and it didn't work.

Also found rain in Thanalan for 018 from midnight to 8am on the Cereberus server, no luck with any emote. :(

Same results on Balmung. Around 50 people there. No Achievement notifications. I guess Rain from 12am to 8am is ruled out. /cry

Same thing happened on Diabolos, Primal datacenter, so it seems that weather is game-wide, not just datacenter.

If it's anything like 1.0, there is a set pattern or patterns that just cycle over and over. At 72 minutes for each Eorzea day, it can take quite a long time for a specific weather to cycle around.

After compiling a list of vistas by time for myself, I noticed that, while Dawn (5am to 8am), Morning (8am to 12pm) and Night (6pm? to 5am) have 5 confirmed sights logged, Afternoon (12pm to 5?pm) has only 4 confirmed sights logged. This makes me believe that the infamous 18 is 12pm to 5pm in the Rain.

Weather change times:
4pm - Will determine if 1 hour! (4pm to 5pm) of Afternoon and half of Night (6pm to 12am) will be viable.
12am - Will determine if half of Night (12am to 5am) and all of Dawn (5am to 8am) will be viable.
8am - Will determine if all Morning (8am to 12pm) and most of Afternoon (12pm to 4pm) will be viable.

I believe it's interesting to note that Daytime seems to be from 8 am to 10 am. I could be wrong.
