I don't believe there is any "Rain" in Drybone. I've never seen it yet, and I don't believe it is the key to this. I am 90% sure my little pet theory is right, and I guess I can share at least a glimpse of the pot of gold on this one *wink wink*.



That was taken exactly 24 hours ago. I was hoping it would show up again today at the same time (real time), but alas, it did not.

The only thing I could find was someone on reddit saying that they had a screenshot of Rain (not showers) in Eastern Thalanan dating back from November, and these posts on the bluegartr forum.

I'm the author of that reddit post. Went digging through my history to find the pic again, here it is: http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/o...a.png~original
It's most definitely rain, so at the very least, it was possible in the past. However, I, like many, have been checking Eastern Thanalan basically since the patch hit and have not seen Rain yet. Seems to be confirmed there was rain once yesterday though, but in the morning - someone on my server claims to have seen it at the same time as that person on the bluegartr forum.

Has to be a gimmick to #18. Perhaps it's the combination of all three worst elements: very rare weather, a very specific time and an emote we haven't had to use before. Would be humorous if /harvestdance worked, but I just don't know. Seems no-one has it and those that claim they do can't provide evidence. I have seen that rainbow before only once and perhaps it's linked. I honestly wouldn't rule anything out just yet.

If indeed we do have seasonal patterns in Eorzea as we did in Vana'diel, I expect that it's "out of season" for Rainy right now (probably summer). And that could be why it's currently so rare. Will see Showers far more often.

If the season thing is true, they really should have just released all 80 at once instead of forcing you to do them 20 at a time. The way it is now it's very likely we'd have to wait for other seasons, when we could have done all "summer" season vistas already.

FABULOUS!

I am now suspecting we might need to bring skateboards into the mix... (if anyone remembers THAT reference, give yourself a cookie)

I've used every emote in every weather at every hour of the day and got nada. If I had known what that rainbow might mean when I saw it yesterday, I would have booked it back to the goobbue and prayed like Mother Teresa. There are only two possibilities at this point - its the rainbow, or its the heretofore unseen "Rain" weather.

I believe the rainbow appears in Fair weather following Showers during the 8am weather change, since I believe that's when I took the picture, and I have since tried it in Clear at 8am after Showers and no rainbow.

Well, maybe something with the weather patterns got screwed up during the patch implementation and they're just not aware of it yet(?) Or maybe they are but since it's the weekend and all it's not their highest priority.... Idk.

Talking to Iryoku in-game at #018. The Rain that came the other day was definitely Rain and not showers. People spammed /emotes between 12am and 8am ET to no avail.

And so we wait...

In all liklihood it's the rain we need and daytime is what i've been guessing.

Any advice on getting to the last lamppost for #010? I can get to the other two posts no problem but reaching the proper one is a problem. Where are you supposed to jump from to get to that lamp? I keep coming up just short jumping from the rock just above Apkallu Falls.
