Let's talk about Hunts - a detailed rundown of their assumed mechanics

[Steve_UK]

Too early to call that still, we're over 70 minutes away from the 200 minute necessary zero rain time, meaning a rain can sneak in at any point.

Oh, checked the next 4 weather change's and no rain - and also havent had any in the past 4.

sorry

Just spawned Nandi on Shiva again.

Same method as last time and as shown in the videos, just walked around with a minion and he suddenly popped at one of the spawn locations after running into it.

Window has been open for 13 hours and 10 minutes at the time of spawn according to the ariyala tracker. If I'm not mistaken, I've read a post in here saying that the actual CD until the window opens that ariyala uses is wrong and that the CD that Vandes stated in his/her first post is correct. So the window should've been open for ~40 Minutes on Shiva until he spawned @Steve

EDIT:

The next 90 minutes or so should be safe from Rain for a possible Garlok spawn.
This cycle + the next 2 changes are all Clear Skies and the next one after that is Sunshine @.@
For those that are interested and may not know: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Time
I didn't even know that there was a section on how the Eorzea Time correlates into Real Life Time and would've just written what I noticed while fishing about the time and how it correlates into RL-Time. I'm just glad that I wouldn't have been that much off from the real thing... just by some seconds or for longer periods some minutes~ :3

Some good new's. im wondering about brontes and nandi change's to the dialogue.

So, no Garlok. That means next possible spawn given no Rain/Showers will be at 7:06:53 pm CEST / 10:06:53 am PDT

Damn, I was off by 3 minutes. Garlok spawn worldwide.
