I started to think maybe regional weather was behind the color/direction correlation, but there's one (Far NW) with 3 associated colors. Dark makes sense, and pale blue (ice) makes sense, for Xarcabard/Beacedine anyway. Hmm.
Have all the Runes so far been found near a zone?

Hmm. They all have west or northwest in them...except for the last that says north.

My results:
Green
West
The title is "Clock Tower Preservationist"
Message: "Love and courage will find a way."
Based on the region info, the only thing that's really due west of Mhaura would probably be Giddeus. I'm going to check there in a few minutes, just wanted to post my results first.

there is nothing east of mhaura and only elshimo south of mhaura..
so everywhere else is some degree north or west.
(except the Li'Telor region which is directly north)

hmmmmm.... i havent played in a while but I remember there was an npc in North sandy that would tell the fortune of you and a pt member. He was in the parade grounds near the consulate of jueno, if i am not mistaken. Maybe if you have your ideal partner, and talk to him, it leads you to another clue.
Also maybe there are other fortune tellers like this. Isnt there one in jueno that tells you fortunes after you give her the card set?
Since i can't play some one should do research on this lead. ...please
great thread ^^

Ran over a good majority of Giddeus, and found nothing relevant, just so you know.
If you intend to double check, I hope you find something. :D
Okay, this is speculation, but here goes.
The color you are told is related to the element.
The direction refers to where the Luck Rune is found.
The pairing is someone with the specific title who may have the alternate color/element of the same region.
The quote is a hint of a cut scene that occurs in the area pointed out by the direction - clarifying where the Luck Rune is located.
All of these add up to the following:
Your luck rune is found in the area based on your direction, color/element and quote. You must find someone with the other color/element of the same region where the luck rune is located - example Light and Ice for Qufim.
The hints seem to match up like this:
Color, Direction and Quote - specify the region of the Luck Rune.
Color, Title - perhaps the Title of the person changes with the color, yet the direction stays the same.
As more Fortunes are posted I will try to prove if this is true.
What do you think?

Maybe this is what the password function on those strange apparatus things is for.
Nope. You get the password in one of the Zilart Missions...not sure which. When you use the password, you don't get better results or different items, you just dont lose your infinity core when you use the Strange Apparatus.

OMG STOP SPREADING THIS MISINFORMATION. Where the hell did you get this from? This is complete nonsense.
Since I cannot stay logged into the game for more than 2 mins, I just wanted to point out that there are hippogryphs in rivernie site A#01, maybe they drop an item like a feather that needs to be used?
In relation to the weather theory:
Can a couple people sweep east and west sarutabaruta? If a luck rune is there, the weather theory is loses some weight since there's no elementally affiliated weather there.
I hate to say this but there is of course the possiblity that the luck runes are not affiliated with this "quest" either.
Also for those who have tried this, is there anything new in your quest logs?

Getting the strange apparatus password from a higher Zilart mission is what I have heard as well, through the grapevine, by rumor, etc. He isn't the only one that has that impression of where the password comes from.
Buteo - Making a comback to FFXI?
To elaborate on a post:
Areas of Luck Runes:
Qufim: Elements are Light and Ice / Color White and Pale Blue
Tahrongi: Elements are Earth and Wind / Color Yellow and Green
Lufaise: What are the elements for this region?

To the guy who had "due west," check Tahrongi Canyon. I don't think that could be any more obvious.
Well, heres my thought on the situation...
Everyone knows, this isnt the first 'fortune teller' in the game right? ^^
Has anyone getting this quest, getting the right partner with the right title, then talking to one of the older furtune tellers in the starter cities?
You know, the ones that say find a partner, and Ill check your compatability?
Might improve the random item you get from them. Or maybe it will lead to another clue. Just a thought.

Zilart Missions are simple though. Thousands upon thousands of people have completed them. If it were as simple as completing a Zilart Mission everyone and their mother would know about the password by now. But somehow, 99.9% of people are still clueless about whether a password even exists. And many of those people have finished zilart missions long ago.
Even if I am wrong aout the password, it really doesn't matter. Why would the password be there since Zilart and then be unlocked now of all times? I am begining to think this has nothing to do with Apparatus' at all...except in one way.
Notice how when people get Blue as their color, the direction is different on some of them? Maybe what you have to do is find the correct "Luck Rune" with the title person in your pt, trade the color of chip TO the Luck Rune, and then see what happens.
Once I get on i'll try this.

I spotted no lucky rune from the Xarcabard outpost to Beaucedine. Also nothing so far in Beaucedine, from the Xarcabard zone to the Ranguemont Pass Zone. Heading for Fei'yen, and the zone to Battalia Downs. *huff* *puff*
Also, there is no Luck Rune in Sacrarium. I will check Pso'Xja (this one is going to be a toughie), Xarcabard, and the 2 Jungles later tonight if I remember.
I finished the ZM's long ago and I don't recall any 8-digit password. I could have just missed it I guess, but I'm usually pretty good about picking up stuff like that in the cutscenes.
One more to add to the pile:
Hume, Female, 75 WHM/blm, Thundersday, New Moon, Current Title: Heir of the New Moon.
Your lucky color is White
Your fortune lies to the South
As for your perfect Partner...
Seek one who bears the title of "Pilgrim to Mea"
Retalk:
"ill gotten gil becomes gil ill gone"

Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that an ounce of gold and an ounce of lead have the same numbers of protons neutrons and electrons, but Gold has an Atomic Number (number of protons per atom) of 79 and Lead has an Atomic Number of 82. Gold's Atomic Mass (mass relative to one atom of carbon-12) is 196.96655 amu. Lead's is 207.2 amu. So I don't see how that could be possible.
Gram was mentioned, not ounce^_^
The specific gravity of gold is greater than that of lead (19.3,11.3 respectively). What this means is more atoms of gold are packed within a cubic centimeter than atoms of lead.
Yes, according to their atomic mass, lead is heavier than gold (207.2,197.0 respectively). It may sound odd but the property of gold is that the atoms are packed closer together in normal conditions then those of lead. Which is why a gram of gold has exactly the same number of electrons, protons and neutrons as a gram of lead.

the one thing that bothers me is that yellow to the north one. tahrongi is yellow, sure, but its more to the west. li' telor is the only thing north, but it never has earth weather.
maybe you have to zone into the right area with proper partener on the right elemental day? but to fully test partner youd need 3 of them.... one with the element stronger than yours(fire for ice), one with the same as yours, and one weaker than yours (wind for ice)
hmm.... so many possiilities.. so much speculation...
edit: oh and about the weight things, i new that they have different elemental numbers, but i didnt know if they had the right combo of neutrons to balance things out and make them even.
Edit2: ehh!? south....

If you refer to the Strange Apparatuses quest thread, at the bottom it says:
Note that it distinctly says *RUMOR*. It's possibly true, but obviously no one seems to have validated it yet as such.

On the actual regionmap, tahrongi is north west of mhaura. Besides that, I have due west, and I have checked it. Nothing.
Someone got south... that is interesting.
