QoL change: Sky watcher

[Ultimatecalibur]

The sad thing is, two straight times I was in Shroud when the weather changed. I timed it. From weather change, to Odin dead, 6 minutes, and 7 minutes. You have to rush over because it is pulled immediately and you have to pray to get a gold. It really wouldn't matter if we knew the spawn time or not, such a large over geared zerg now kills him so easily and fast. It would make almost no difference if we knew spawn time or not. But, I agree we should not know that. He's dead fast enough as it is.

What was Odin's level? If it was around 50 or 51 then 6 to 7 min is not surprising. 60 should still be decimating 110 groups.

I'm hoping a site pops up that references the forecasts somehow and then spits out a 24 game-hour list of which vistas and big fish are going to be available.

I have a spreadsheet that lists what i80 fish are open given the current time, which is calculable without parsing game data (it's just current time *3600/175). Since weather is random as far as I know, there's no way to calculate what the next weather will be without parsing the game data to get the info from the Skywatchers, which is not something I'd do (against the ToS and all). However, I'm trying to figure out an easy way to manually input the forecasts.

Also, does anyone know if the weather is the same on every server? If so, maybe there's a pattern to it?

Weather is the same cross all servers. This was confirmed around the time the sightseeing log was introduced. Weather seems to be RNG and is now generated 70 minutes before it changes.

You'll need to do some basic cross-referencing yourself, and it doesn't include sightseeing, but here you go. Also for the timetable it has the time set about 3.5 hours back, presumably just to give a more aesthetically appealing grid, but the skywatcher is accurate to current Eorzea time.

In any case, while not as convenient and one-stop shop as you requested, there's plenty of online resources to get exactly that information.
