Not that I cared much about it, but what happened to my ARR Sightseeing Log?

The only entries I have are for Heavensward. Just wondering what happened to my ARR log. Not that I care. ARR's were way too strict.

[Canadane]

I have both. 6 pages total.
Page 4 kinda ends with a bunch of empty spots, and then the HW stuff starts up again on page 5.

I only have the two pages of HW, too, unless I've turned legally blind without me knowing.

I have 1 ARR page (20 entires) and 2 HW pages (42 entries). What's up with this?

I have the same but I expected that since I didn't complete the first 20 in ARR so it never opened up the rest. I hated doing it in ARR but the way it's done in HW was a lot better and more fun.

i lost my arr pages but i never did them... i wonder if there is a way to get them back so i can go back and do them

You have to finish the first 20 from ARR to unlock the other 60.

I actually preferred the old way to how it is now in Heavensward, as the old log required a bit more reading comprehension and deduction, rather than simply seeing a glowing point and facerolling through a few choice emotes. Of all things to dumb down, why did it have to be the sightseeing log?

I like how they're doing it in HW better than ARR. I had found several spots in ARR but because it wasn't the right time of day/weather pattern/random other reasons I couldn't get credit for it and it just wasn't a priority to sit there until the right conditions aligned for me to do the emote required. Granted the details they put in the clues were cool but it just wasn't a priority. With HW I've already found a few and want to find others now.

^ This. My biggest problem with the ARR siteseeing log was the same as with the S-rank spawn conditions. It seems like the localization team wasn't told which part of the text they were translating was a clue and which was flavor, because many (if not most) of the siteseeing log entries do not contain enough information to deduce the location, weather, time of day, and emote without extensive trial and error. Requiring trial and error on the weather/time/emote meant deduction was pointless and I would have to brute force it anyway. I gave up trying to do them on my own after the third or fourth where I met all the requirements that I could find clues to in the text, only to have it not work.

And, as the above poster said, it wasn't urgent enough to just sit there doing nothing until the weather was right again. And some of them were hard places to get to, so it was hard to just check them when passing by. In the end, to do the first 20, I wound up resorting to using a guide, and even then the last one took me three weeks before the right weather condition happened in the zone in the time window while I was logged in.


Conversely, the HW siteseeing log has me flying around the zone looking for interesting places to see if there's a shiny marker on them. This gets me to see the whole zone and find places and see views I wouldn't have found otherwise. Now that I know about it, I've been doing it the moment I can fly in a zone, and it's a great way to tour the place and see everything. I really love the way they did it!
