==Walkthrough==
*Obtain [[Carbuncle's Ruby]].
**This is a [[Rare]]/[[Exclusive]] item that may be obtained from nearly any type of [[:category:Leeches|Leech]]-type mob, though drop rate is incredibly low overall.
**The drop rate can be improved if you have [[Thief]] main/support job, with [[Treasure Hunter]] job trait.
**[[Carbuncle's Ruby]] cannot be delivered to other characters on the same account and therefore must be obtained on the character that wants to finish the quest. 
*With the Ruby in your inventory, go to the [[House of the Hero]] at {{Location|Windurst Walls|G-3}}. Check the front door for a cutscene, where you will be asked to find "the seven colors". <b>Some players have reported they needed to check the door TWICE to receive the cutscene.</b> 
*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''&mdash;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 [[Carbuncle's Ruby|ruby]] in your [[Inventory]],  triggers a short cutscene upon entering the area, where Carbuncle will remark on the color of light that you have found. Note that you will not see the same cutscene again.
**This can be done by logging out and back into the zone.
**This can be done while riding a chocobo or mount.
**This can be done by using an outpost teleport into the zone.
**This can be done by teleporting into the zone (Teleport-Dem, etc).
**[[:Category:Weather Reporters|Weather Checker]] [[NPC]]s 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 are not completely accurate; some weather effects may occur on days they are not forecasted, and vice-versa.
**After receiving the cutscene to start the quest, the weathers can be obtained on jobs lower than level 30.

*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 ({{Location Tooltip|area = La Theine Plateau|pos = G-6}}).
*Trade [[Carbuncle's Ruby]] to the [[???]] at the center of the circle. After a final cutscene, the [[Summoner]] [[job]], the avatar [[Carbuncle]] will be available to you. [[File:Rainbow.webp|thumb]]
**Each time that a player completes this quest, a rainbow (the same one as seen in the cutscene) appears 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. The rainbow will appear the same Vana'diel day if you complete the summoner quest early enough in the game day.

==Notes==
*Even if a possible weather is not predicted by a [[Weather Reporter]], there is still a slight chance that it can occur, if the day corresponds to that weather.
*Vana'diel has [[Time#Seasons|Seasons]] which affect the weather. If you are having trouble finding weather it may be the wrong time of year.
*Outdoor, enemy-populated areas, that have the weather elements but will ''not'' react to the quest:
**[[Attohwa Chasm]]
**[[Lufaise Meadows]]
**[[Misareaux Coast]]
**[[Ro'Maeve]]
**[[Ship bound for Selbina|Ship bound for Mhaura/Selbina]]
