Walkthrough

• Obtain Carbuncle's Ruby.
  • This is a Rare/Exclusive item that may be obtained from nearly any type of Leech-type mob, though drop rate is known to be incredibly low overall.
  • The drop rate can be improved if you have Thief main/support job, with Treasure Hunter job trait active.
• When the Ruby is in your possession, go to the House of the Hero at (G-3) in Windurst Walls (the ruby must be in your inventory). Check the front door, and you will receive a cutscene, where you will be asked to find "the seven colors".
• The "seven colors" that are required correspond to the colors of a rainbow. They are obtained by zoning into an outdoor, enemy-populated area while one of six weather effects is active—the seventh is obtained by zoning into an outdoor, enemy-populated area with no weather effect at all.
  • To clarify: "Outdoor" means that you may not zone into a cave or dungeon area to obtain a color.
  • To clarify: "Enemy-Populated" means that you may not zone into a town or city to obtain a color.
• Zoning into an area with the above requirements (that you have not yet obtained) and with the ruby in your inventory will trigger a short cutscene upon entering the area, where Carbuncle will remark on the color of light that you have found. (You will not see the same cutscene again.)
  • This can be done while riding a chocobo.
  • This can be done by using an outpost teleport into the zone.
  • This can be done by teleporting into the zone (Teleport-Dem, etc).
  • Weather Checker NPCs in each town or city can help predict when and where the weather you will be looking for will be in effect. Bear in mind, however, that these Weather Checkers will not be completely accurate; some weather effects may occur on days they are not predicted to be on, and vice-versa.

• Locations of areas meeting the requirements for Carbuncle's "colors of light" are as follows:

Color	Element	Weather Type	Possible Areas
Red	Fire	Heat Wave	Valkurm Dunes, Rolanberry Fields, Eastern Altepa Desert, Western Altepa Desert, Meriphataud Mountains, Yuhtunga Jungle, Yhoator Jungle
Orange	(None)	Clear Skies	All Matching Areas
Yellow	Earth	Dust Storms	Tahrongi Canyon, Konschtat Highlands, Valkurm Dunes, Batallia Downs, Eastern Altepa Desert, Western Altepa Desert, Meriphataud Mountains
Green	Wind	High Winds	Tahrongi Canyon, Buburimu Peninsula, La Theine Plateau, Cape Teriggan, Valley of Sorrows
Blue	Water	Rain	La Theine Plateau, Jugner Forest, Pashhow Marshlands, Rolanberry Fields. Buburimu Peninsula, Yuhtunga Jungle, Yhoator Jungle, Sanctuary of Zi'Tah
Indigo	Ice	Snow	Beaucedine Glacier, Batallia Downs, Xarcabard
Violet	Lightning	Thunderstorms	Konschtat Highlands, Sauromugue Champaign, Pashhow Marshlands, Jugner Forest, Sanctuary of Zi'Tah

• When all seven colors are obtained, you will receive an additional cutscene where Carbuncle will fly off to La Theine Plateau. Head there and go to the stone circle at (G-6).
• Trade Carbuncle's Ruby to the ??? at the center of the circle. You will receive a final cutscene, after which the Summoner job will become available to you.
  • It is worth noting that, for each time that a player completes this quest, a rainbow (the same one as seen in the cutscene) will appear over the Crag of Holla on the next Vana'diel Day (so long as the weather is not Rain). Should it be rainy weather, the rainbow should appear shortly after the rainy weather stops if it is before 18:00 in-game.

Notes

• Even if a possible weather is not predicted by a Weather Reporter, there is still a slight chance that it can may occur, if the day corresponds to that weather.
• Outdoor, enemy-populated areasn that have the weather elements but will not react to the quest:

Qufim Island

Lufaise Meadows

Attohwa Chasm

Misareaux Coast
