Moon Phase Broken?

[Kaedan]

Some people assume that moon phase does something for you in this game because it did something for you in FFXI, yet the Dev team never said it affects anything. From my personal experience trying to test the moonphase and stuff I have literally seen 0 difference while crafting between different moon phases and I think there is other elements at play this time around if not just a random number generator.

Yeah, I really don't know why people assume that. It really wouldn't make sense since they changed crafting to a class. It really wouldn't be fair to dictate when you're allowed to level up.

Oh that's what that thing in the corner of the screen was for... fail

Really? o.O isn't it based on the weather??

The weather is based on the moon phase actually. For example, during the full and new moon, weather effects are rare and miasma won't spawn in Mor Dhona. During any other phase of the moon, miasma has a chance of starting every 8 hours

Are you sure?... I can remember I've killed Dodore several times during Full/New Moon and I'm pretty sure the weather is changing enevry 4 hours, not 8.

Good Luck with that, they love for things to be a mystery!

Which is why they gave us the formula for gathering fatigue, right?

Moon phase affecting crafting..lol. >_> I thought we already debunked this myth ages ago.

You guys are actually talking about 2 different things...
The weather changes every 8 in game hours
The moon phase changes every 4 real time hours
Yes, he only spawns during Mist (Miasma)
The weather alternates between clear and then X then clear then X
X = Fog, rain or mist..
The theory is that X will = the same weather condition for an entire moon phase so during say "New Moon" it might go back and forth between clear and mist until the next moon phase

I wish the moon would blow up. I'm tired of most of the phases equaling "whelp, without training, I'm going to break this synth that is my rank/two ranks below or above more than 50% of the time." Let's blow the moons up!

The moon has nothing to do with crafting. -_- Never has.

If anything has to do with crafting its the stupid elements per hour, and that is probably really minute. I just like to blame it on the elemental hour or it being umbral or astral when i break a synth for no reason, but I think I might be joking...never sure with these guys (meaning SE)
