It doesn't rain in Eastern Thanalan

This may be a bug but the occurrence of rain in Eastern Thanalan is so low that for the past 2 days my FC had people there 24 hours a day trying to get sightseeing #18 and it never rained at all.

Anyone else have this issue?

This just in: There is a drought in the desert.

I would like to know this as well; out of all the rains I've seen in Drybone is showers (which doesn't count for whatever reasons)

People complained it rained too much there... that's why.

Invisible fix I guess.

Drybone gets the "Showers" weather plenty (which is just a stronger "Rain") but not the actual "Rain" weather.

Except it pours showers every day >.>;;;

Some JP players are having the same problem as well.

My current theory: 'Rain' in East Thanalan has been removed from all but one entry on the weather tables. It is now designed to only pop once a week, in order to gate the Sightseeing Log content. There will be a similar log entry for every 20 logs.

Unfounded speculation, just based on current circumstances.

Also, I have heard reports of one period of Rain (not Showers) since the patch hit; 12am to 8am.

This could have been a very fun pastime but SE turned it into a chore. It's like they found a great concept in another MMO (GW2 or whatever) then purposely thought out a way to make it less fun.... and then tapped themselves on the shoulder and went for a beer to celebrate a job well done.

I haven't been back to Camp Wet-to-the-Bone since the patch; no more constant sideways thunderstorms now? Awww...
