What happened to sightseeing?

A bit of a headache? Proper location, weather, time of day. That’s a lot of making sure the stars align and you aren’t busy when they do. Much more accessible the way it’s handled now

Yup! Except for Kugane tower. I've been trying to climb up that thing for weeks now, I can't get past the 3rd green roof. :') I really want cheap SB paintings for my Shiro house but I'm starting to accept the fact that it will never happen because I suck at jumping, lol.

FWIW, you can get people to cheese you up the tower (or onto the lamppost below that you jump off the tower to land on), just to get the vistas checked off. I've done the lamppost one for more people than I can count, and I've rez-hopped folks up the tower a few times before, since I used to climb the tower (then jump down to the lamppost, then climb the tower, then jump down to the lamppost, then climb the tower...) any time I was stuck in a DPS queue.

Basically, you go as blue mage, climb as high as you can, use the self-destruct spell, someone climbs up higher and rezzes you onto a higher spot, you wait the 10 minutes for your self-destruct to be off cooldown, then you self-destruct again and they rez you to the next spot higher on the tower, etc. For the lamppost, it obviously only takes one rez.

Except for the ones that require jumping puzzles. Which inevitably means you can't buy paintings from the vendor in idyllshire if you don't have the manual dexterity/perfect aim for every jump needed to complete them.
