Does anyone know which page of this weather forecaster is Zardine?

Erinn Long Term Forecast

Also, is the forecaster accurate now for NA or so? It was malfunctioning for me last week, didn't check on this week but I plan to on the next trip to Zardine (I need the rain).

Also, where are the flint stones located at? Are there monsters I should look out for when I go there to mine on rainy weather?

How many flint stones should I expect to use up per hot-air ballooning trip?

Its a lot easier to buy flint from Kelpie, but you can find mining stones by raspa volcano. I think there are stag beetles and the occasional scorpion over there, but if you're by the wall, I don't think you'll be bothered.

The amount of flint you use up will be dependent on how many stars you want to get. To get the max amount of stars, I think me and a friend used up 5 or so per trip.

I think eltf is acting up. The predictions are completely wrong, the weather pattern doesn't match any of the javascript version (pattern hasn't changed), and some blocks even have an unknown value (non-colored question marks).

You're better off using the javascript version (although if it's incorrect you may have to tweak it a little).

Where can I get this javascript version?

Also, what are the areas 6, 9 etc???

Weird. Ever since Wednesday's update, the weather forecast for NA is completely off. I'm trying to find out if the pattern is the same by observing the weather and doing some pattern matching. Maybe it inherited something from G12 that changed the weather pattern?

But to answer your question, Zardine is area 10.
Area6 Morva Aisle, Ceann Harbor
Area9 Courcle, Iria Falls
Area11 Shadow Mission
Area12 Taillteann, Tara, etc.

erin-weather.hp.infoseek.co.jp has more information, and it may also have an accurate weather forecaster (keep in mind that Japan is 1 hour ahead of China).

It's totally off for china mainland mabi as well.

We also had the blacklist feature bug a while back which was fixed. When it was fixed, the forecaster did not follow the weather anymore. During an Iria zombie event, there was a thunderstorm which was not predicted at all on the charts.

Oho, I think CN and NA versions are now following the G12 weather pattern. I don't know exactly what the data is, but erin-weather.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/forecastG12.cgi has an accurate table. Strangely enough, the time matches the NA server even though it's for the JP server(?).

Here's my NA Dunbarton weather data collection for the past 2 hours (those numbers on the right are just my potion making/herb picking data).

cloud 9:20 PM 4/8/2010 5 50 80 78 84
clear 9:40 PM 4/8/2010 5 50 80 78 84
rain  10:00 PM 4/8/2010 6 52 85 83 89
rain  10:20 PM 4/8/2010 5 52 83 81 88
clear 10:40 PM 4/8/2010 5 50 80 78 84
rain  11:00 PM 4/8/2010 6 53 86 84 90
rain  11:20 PM 4/8/2010 7 54 88 86 92

The data matches the last values for Dunbartion in erin-weather.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/forecastG12.cgi?t=1923 (of course, I don't have data for 11:40 since server time is currently 11:26).
