Oh you, SE

Back at launch the first FC I was in went around exploring all the high level areas, so we naturally just ran amok and found all sorts of neat areas you could reach. The pipe just happened to be one of them, heh. So this quest took me maybe two or three minutes. I spent more time looking for the Scions to get their dialogue, to be honest, haha!

I always go up there to look at the night sky and sit in my sorrow and think about all the failed tempest wing T13 deaths, I use my cry emote and summon my minions and Choco to comfort me. In the midst of this quest I got teary eyed a went to my place of comfort and low and behold.......

I ran around the entire camp twice clockwise before deciding to go back around again counter-clockwise, thinking "maybe a different perspective will let me see something I didn't see before". Lo and behold, less than a minute later I was saying to myself, "I didn't know you could climb this. I wonder if there's something up there."

Then I jumped off after getting the bomb so that anyone that saw me fall would get the hint that there's a way up. I just thought of it now, but I should have shouted its position and then watched to see people gather underneath first. XD

Yeah...After a lap around the plant (with boyfriend going the opposite direction around), we decided it had to be somewhere up high. I climbed on buildings, boxes, fences...Then I discovered the stairs and I was like "oh. *facepalm*" I had no idea you could get up there or I would've beelined for it. I'm so used to FFXIV cramping my exploring-every-inch style that I don't even think about those areas anymore. If it was TERA or something, I'd have gone there first.

Look at the environments.

Maybe they're trying to make us think searching high in preparation for Heavensward.

I somehow managed to get up without falling, while riding a behemoth. It looked kinda silly, considering that it is, like, five times wider than the stairs.

This is why I had so much trouble finding it. Those stairs are so small they don't look like you could climb them. They don't look like they are built to scale with everything else like they are just decoration.
