Rain Casting

Description

Creates a vapor cloud using a combination of crystals. (Material: 3 Water Crystals, 1 Wind Crystal, 1 Clay Crystal)

Details

• Uses the power of Wind, Water, and Clay to create Clouds.
  • At Novice, Rain Casting will produce clouds that do not rain.
  • At Ranks F, 9, 5, and 1, the cloud's radius increases
  • At Rank C, the clouds show a darker tone.
  • At Rank 1, the clouds will strike lightning.
    • The lightning will be able to stun monsters under the cloud. Additionally, their aggro will reset.
    • However the damage is low (1~10).
• Enemies underneath the cloud will not aggro unless attacked.
• Uses three Water Crystals, one Wind Crystal and one Clay Crystal.
• Using Rain Casting in Sidhe Sneachta or Physis will cause snow to fall rather than rain.
• Rain Casting cannot be used indoors, Solea, Connous Underground Maze, or Scathach Caverns.
• Rain Casting can be used in Dungeons, Shadow Missions and Theatre Missions, including missions within Rath Royal Castle.
• Rain Casting will not cause a Glowing Twin Sword Statue to appear.
• Rain Casting will not cause different Gems to appear while using Metallurgy.
• While Standing under the cloud the skill Water Cannon gains bonus damage.
• Increases success rate of Fishing and Production skills.
  • This bonus extends to all players underneath the cloud, whether or not they are in the same party.
• The quality of a finishing product through Tailoring or Blacksmithing is unaffected by a cloud's bonus.
• Boosts the success rate of Synthesis, Fragmentation, Metal Conversion, and making Alchemy Crystals.
• The rank of Alchemy Mastery, Earth Alchemy, Wind Alchemy, and Water Alchemy will increase the radius of the cloud.
  • The formula for Rain Casting Radius is: radius * (1 + 4 * alchemy mastery bonus + 3 * water alchemy efficiency + wind alchemy efficiency + clay alchemy efficiency)
• As a Lightning element, Rain Casting's lightning effect is reduced by Lightning Shield.
• Alchemy Mastery does not increase duration, nor does it increase the production boost provided by the cloud.
  • Cylinders, however, do affect Rain Casting's duration.
    • The formula for Rain Casting duration is: 1 + (cylinder water bonus + cylinder wind bonus + cylinder earth bonus)

Obtaining the Skill

• Learned during the Generation 10 Quest Rain Maker - Irinid.

Training Method

Tips

• "Use the skill on a clear day" and "Use the skill in the rain" are referring to weather. By contrast "Use Water Cannon under a cloud" is referring to a cloud created by Rain Casting and cloudy weather does not work.
• Cloudy Days will count for neither Clear Day nor Rainy Day Training.
• Shadow Realm Rain will not count toward Rainy Day Training.
  • However, Homestead Rain will count toward Rainy Day Training.
  • The easiest guaranteed Rainy Day Training is simply to go to Metus where it's always raining.
• Skill Proficiency for Training Requirements may be received by being under another player's cloud.
• Forms of Gathering underneath a cloud include Shearing, Harvesting, Woodcutting, Mining, Herb Picking, Bottling, Egg Collecting, etc.
  • Hitting props or picking up Cobwebs will not count toward this requirement.
  • The fastest method is mining Moon Stone Pieces at any Castle site (Dugald Aisle, Sen Mag, Abb Neagh, or Sliab Cuilin) with a Speed Upgraded Pickaxe. With this method, it is possible to complete all the gathering requirements under a single cloud.
  • Simpler still is having four or more fresh base herb patches in your homestead and a sufficient rank of Herbalism to pick them. You only need your bare hands to pick the herbs, making it preferable to mining Moon Stone Pieces. At earlier ranks, where you only need 10 or less successful gathers, mining for Homestead Stones under a cloud also works.
• Oneself, other players, and Pets will each count toward the "5 or more person are exposed to rain under a cloud." Training Requirement.
  • Other players and their pets do not need to be in your party to count towards this requirement.
  • NPCs and Summoned Golems will not count toward this requirement.
  • People do not need to be under your cloud at the same time. As long as 5 different people pass under your cloud before it disappears, you will receive training.
  • Recommended to go to a busy channel or just summon/cancel enough pets in quick succession.
• For Ranks 5 and above, the "Successful finish in producing under a cloud." requirement may only be met when applying the finishing step to an item that is being tailored or smithed.
  • Using the Sewing Pattern for the Hairband is recommended as all of its materials can be bought from an NPC at a very low cost.
• At high ranks of Rain Casting, if you or a friend has rank 1 Shock and you have access to variable -CP gear, you can easily fulfill the defeat an enemy with water cannon while under a cloud requirements using the first room of Sulfur Spider on Basic or Int difficulties. The sheer volume of enemies can get you anywhere between 20-30 kills per cast of Rain Casting. Put yourself into a party and set the finish rule to Anyone Can Finish. While whoever uses Shock passively kills enemies, you can target the ones who need to be finished off with Water Cannon. Be sure to use a Tidal Wave or Hurricane Cylinder to extend the duration of the cloud. While the Hurricane Cylinder will extend the duration for longer, the Tidal Wave Cylinder will further boost your Water Cannon damage, making it easier to pick off half-dead enemies when Shock expires.
