Welp friends. Spent 3 in game days crafting right next to Jadeite Flood and not even a rain drop! Maybe the 8 hours signifies the times of the day (midnight, early morning, mid day, evening ) The weather hasnt changed much. Bright mornings, overcast mid day and clear nights. /sadface Guess I'll just keep crafting. I'm level 25 CRP atm, gunna be level 50 by the time i get rain! haha If there was ever a theory on weather changes, i think i can say there really isnt any pattern!
