    Sunny Weather?

    Can anyone help me settle this debate... when the weather NPC tells you the weather will be sunny, is there even a possibility of a weather condition popping up, even for a short while? Or is there zero chance of any weather (besides fire) coming up during that time?

    Thanks for your input...

    i think it's like 3 straight days of sunny weather and on the 3rd day it will be fire weather >_>

    Well I need earth... talking about the Altepa deserts, it's been sunny for 5 days now (well 2, and 3 in the forecast), and was just wondering if there was a chance of earth spawning.

    Weather NPC sucks!

    He will say a day will be sunny, but any weather that can happen in that region has a chance of happening on that day.

    When he says it will be windy or dusty or whatever he describes Earth, wind, etc. weather as, then that weather has 100% chance of happening on that day.

    I suck at explaining...

    Think of them as actual weather forecasters..


    the further into the future you go, the less accurate they are.

    The things weather NPCs give are probabilities, not certainties. Didn't take me long to realize that wind weather was possible even when the NPC announces no weather or fire weather in Cape Teriggan when I was working on getting my Sirocco Kukri.

    I LOL'd hard as saw a WAR Sneak Attack Raging Rush for double-digits on that mob. My en-spells outparsed everybody [no BLMs willing to help=long battle-of-attrition]

    I got them, smiled, used them for a month, then switched to Crimson Gloves. I'll use them on BLU or something... Just so I don't feel like I didn't waste that week camping them nonstop.

    yeah i don't think it has high DEF, it just has 999 VIT, which also prevents it from popping

    btw: It's a Lottery...inside of the Weather. Double Spawn Conditions FTL.

    You need double-earth, AND you need to have the mobs repopping during double earth. Sometimes the sandstorm doesn't even take long enough for mobs to die and repop.

    Just FYI. If you were just chillin, even if Sandstorm hit, it wouldn't just pop. At least that's what I translated off of a JP website, and it coincides with my experiences. (And he won't despawn when weather changes)


    BLU tank with Prt Bangles ftw?

    Yeah I had read enough about it on alla to assume that's how it worked (and I guess I was right), but I counted 9 sandstorms...8 of which I was able to make a pop and no spawn

    ouch, That's rough. I camped one day with my now-Ex when we were both entirely too low level to fight it. It popped [the NM] and we died trying to gravity kite it, Afterwards it became my White Whale, lol.

    AFAIK it's 100% drop, if that's reassuring at all :3


    To Op: Tonight's forecast, Dark. Continued mostly dark tonight, turning to widely scattered light in morning.

    lvl56 hand armor with DEF:30. Same DEF as Koenig Hands. So just an awesome piece of armor if your looking to raise your total defense.
