It's crazy how it seems that absolutely everyone is waiting on this last spot :O

(except me - i've four others to go...)

Can anyone confirm that, in fact, it really does get rainy in Eastern Thanalan? A screenshot would be appreciated, since too much hearsay.... In the past 24 hours I've only seen showers.

#020 "En route from Ul'dah to Gridania, i sought lodgings at Highbridge. Setting out at first light, I looked out upon the wise men of old - at least they looked wiser than me - and asked for guidance in my travels." Such were the merchant's words, and I would see as she saw.
Eastern Thanalan: Highbridge (21, 20) | Dawn (5am to 8am) | Fair | /pray [Endemerrin Rosethorne - Balmung]
Specifics: Down to the bottom of the scaffolding at the eastern end of the Highbridge.

Just confirming that it is: Correct time | Fair weather | /pray

I, too, have not seen Rain. But with Showers/Fair/Clear/Overcast at pretty much every other time of day I've done the full list of emotes, standing and sitting.

Might have to start a specific time log in case Rain is a lie.

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.

So trying for log #18, and just can't get it to work. Tried 5am in the rain (not showers), and no luck. Tried in the fog like another person said, no luck.

Moreover, this message on /r/ffxiv, which was the only source on /pray for #018, now has been edited to confirm that it wasn't about #018.

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.

The first post does not specifically state a time for Log 011, but I can confirm that it does not work after 6pm in-game. I'd be willing to guess it's Fair Weather between noon-5pm. Apologies if someone already pointed this out but I didn't notice it among the posts.

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.

FABULOUS!

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

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.
