I think the main scenario quest starting in Gridania took you in there and once you finished it opened up some side quest inside there.

I didn't notice them on my first run through. There's others too.
Characters from Ananta beast tribe quest and Company of Heroes way back in 2.0

Egh, not a fan of the difficulty spike in this one. My brain hurts. Like others have said, it would have been very nice if they didn't make the maps with the letters so faint for some reason. That was a cheap way to increase the difficulty of the quest.
The animation of the back part of the outfit made me wonder if we're going to actually get capes with physics like that in 5.0.
I'm honestly glad we can just buy the items and the quest is optional. Its too bad the placemats are about as big as some tables, outright impossible to use on the Oasis Round Table because of the center piece.
I love the chest piece.......... but those spriggan ears literally ruin it for me. :( They remind me of Bahamut buttwings. Really wish you could /visor the hood on or remove the ears entirely. I love the sleeves and the hem.
I didn't like the 2nd quest. I talked to the Miqote till it said "Do you want her to solve it for you," which I stopped at, ran all the way round map looking for the name it spelled out and couldn't find them. So I talked to the Miqote again and she said Central Shroud. There was no hint at all that you had to leave Gridania for the quest and you can't expect people to remember the name of every NPC. Especially if you only encounter them once or twice.
