This is just a pondering question, but I've been trying to find thunderstorms in Homesteads for at least 45 minutes and I have had no luck.

I've visited 3 different Homesteads on every channel (Mari server) for 30 minutes straight, but found no rain. I was using a Potion Making kit, making sure to highlight "Poison Potions".

I don't know if it was the most recent maintenance, or the recent culinary patch ... but I can't seem to find any sort of rain on Homesteads.

Has anyone else run into the same problem? This has never occurred to me before, could I just be extremely unlucky?

Also, I am on the Mari server - just so you know.

Before the server reboot I definitely had one, haven't managed to get one afterwards. Not sure if it's broken or what.

Homestead rain always seems to be annoyingly rare if there has been a maint recently (like within a day).

I would try some more tomorrow.

Right. I guess server reboots do something to Homesteads - at least temporarily.

I was not aware of this - thank you for that little bit of information.

I will try to find a thunderstorm today then.

Yep, I found one today.
About three dives into the homestead.

Hopefully you'll be able to find one, as well.
