I'd like to add onto this and say one more thing:
Eastern Thanalan does not get rain as much as it does in-game. If it did, it would quite literally not be a desert anymore. So can folk please stop making IC comments about how it rains constantly in Drybone? Pretend it's the rainy season now, sure, but a month or so down the line, it should be dry as a... well, a bone.
