Weather Forecast
Replaying the weather rotation for 365 real days from 1 January 2020 — 7,509 Eorzean days across 22,526 eight-bell weather periods — Black Eel opens 7,510 times, about 20.6 windows per real day. Every one of those windows runs 49 minutes 35 seconds, which leaves it catchable 70.8% of the time.
Nothing but the clock gates it, so the wait never varies: every window closes exactly 20 minutes 25 seconds before the next one opens.
Ranked against every other fish in this dataset that carries a time or weather requirement, that is the 319th tightest of 348: 7 are catchable for more of the clock than Black Eel, and 22 others land on exactly the same figure.
