    unlocking smn help

    Sorry if this is a silly thread at this point, but I'm desperate!

    I need to zone into an area with fire weather, been at it for literally 10 or so hours..

    Anyone have some suggestions? Perhaps there has been an easy way to do it that I have missed, and Wiki's haven't been updated?

    Maybe an Adoulin area frequently has fire weather?

    Please assist!

    Also picture can let you see if bad season. Generally past zones are best for weather since they change a lot weather checkers can help minimize how long you must check

    Not all areas count for that quest either. I can personally vouch for Adoulin areas not working, and wikia says WoTG areas area also out.

    What I wound up doing on my mule was teleporting between Yhoat and Altep every few minutes, since that covers a couple of your main areas for fire weather.

    Does Mt Zhayolm count toward this? I seem to recall that fire weather does occur fairly frequently there

    I think I got my fire weather in Valkurm Dunes. Obviously it is rare though =/

    I can't see that chart at all. I found another one on wiki that said in November the only place you'll get fire weather is altepa and cape terrigan, but looks like cape was towards the start of the month whereas now you'd only find it in altepa.

    This is the bigger version of the chart Dasva posted above and also the website should give you available forecasts to save you having to go visit all the weather NPCs. Altepa desert looks like your current best bet.

    This is an utter joke, I have no idea how this has never been addressed. Seriously been alternating Altepa/Valkurm/Yuhtunga for up to 20hours in total at this point. Never ever been on a quest even remotely close to this long before, and it's not even supposed to take you long. So infuriating.

    Nearly every time i go to selbina there is fire weather. Id suggest hangin around there or meriphistaud mountains or rolanberry (castle oz and cnest work too prolly.)

    Just stand near the zone in selbina and when weather hits zone out. Also I think there are seasons in the game so targetting those times might work as well.

    According to that chart valk never gets fire weather though. Which is odd, I could have sworn I got fire weather there, but maybe I'm thinking of another quest and sunny weather.

    Would the cloister of fire work for this quest? I have always wondered.

    It can also happen in Meriph. Mountains, but Altepa is the best bet all year round (jungles are best during the summer).

    There is fire weather in the dunes, but it's a random event and the weather forecast npcs don't show it (which is what those charts are based on). Mount zhayolm is the same way, but iirc the zone doesn't work with the quest.

    Indoor/'dungeon' zones don't work.

    i remember meriph around noon as well cos thats where I got my fire weather way over 10 years ago.. but i think it might depend on the season.
