as stated before, climb the debris behind it, then just jump to the tree, but be careful its easy to jumpover from there :P
start at bottom-right corner of the screenshot

Yup. If you can get to the first metal 'rib', you should be able to jump toward a tiny foothold edge-on to the shell. From there you can jump onto the back of the shall and run up to the top, leap off and land in the tree.

How low is the chance for cloudy weather in Gridania? I have done 19 out of the first batch of 20 sightseeings but am stuck since days because the weather is never ever cloudy in Gridania. And I even have 2 chances because weather for it changes at 4 PM while the spot is still open and it remains open till 5 PM. But still, never ever. :-(

I remember the cloudy weather happened about three times in the first three game-days of the patch - it was a sticking point for a lot of players so stay with it!

The major test of patience was originally #018, but even in the main bulk of the sites it's down to pure luck. I myself got stuck in Coerthas waiting for anything but snowy weather for ages.

Hopefully, post-#020, the spreadsheet will help co-ordinate your attempts and minimise any missed opportunities. Good luck and happy hunting! That Apkallu will be yours before you know it.

I want the Apkallu so I will stick with it for sure. :d I hope they release the Weather Forecast NPC they talked about some time ago, it would make things a lot easier. But otherwise, Sightseeing is Fun. Always something to do if you are bored or have a limited time slot while you wait for other things to start. I think I made half of them waiting in Ramuh Ex parties to start haha.

#71 just a note, there are stair inside the building at the top of the tower that are much easier to use then going around the outside.

I found my first "vista" but I'm not sure what to do about it. Can anyone help me? I know all the details have to be exact but what do I do when the time, place, and weather are all there?

Which one is it? Like what map/location/landmark? Most of them require you to use the /lookout emote, but a few require different ones such as /pray. It depends on which exact one you're referring to.

As an aside, I arrived at spot #79 at Rathefrost at 2pm Clear and I couldn't flag the spot, though it was in the 12-5pm bloc. I came back another time and it flagged at 12:30 just fine. Perhaps it is a shorter window?

I'd be very interested if another vista hunter could corroborate this. It might well be a second 11am to 1pm window like #042 (which I was never able to personally verify).
