Why is Drybone so rainy?

[Thistledown]

I thought it was hilariously ironic at first then it started grating my nerves to see how it feels like half the time in ET it's raining.

Is there an official lore into this ('a god's blessing made it the rainiest part blah blah') or is this a prank by the devs?

I agree. It's become a common joke in my fc that ET is the rainiest zone in the game.

Not to my knowledge, but if you notice, Eastern Thanalan DOES contain the most green, non-cactus foliage (and no cactuars, I believe). Because of that, I'd wager a guess that it's supposed to be the Thanalan with the biggest water table. It's even got a waterfall to contribute to that torrential downpour we see there so often.

The greenery is probably down to this poor fella

It probly has more to do with all the corrupted crystals in the Burning Wall that In balance is probly to blame.

It's worth noting that, according to the main scenario quests, the Burning Wall is actually made up of wind-aspected corrupted crystals.

In the realm's rebirth, a lot of things in the environment changed, including the weather in some cases.

Drybone may be a rainy place these days, but back when it was named....

i just hope they change the zone in the future to reflect how all that rain effects the environment over time.

Could be because it borders The Shroud which gets alot of rain. As you get closer to the Shroud zone line, you'll notice the area gets greener and there are much more forest-y trees instead of desert trees.
