    What are these white spheres I keep seeing in HW zones?

    It isn't a current, I can't seem to click on them at all. When I google white sphere, nothing comes up at all.

    They're for your sightseeing log. Stand on top of it and type /lookout to fill up an entry. You are able to access this log in the menus. You'll know you're in the right place when you receive a notification in your chat log that "you have reached a vista" or something close to that. Please note that I don't think you can be mounted when you do this. Also some of the pre HW vistas may require certain weather conditions or times of day to activate.

    There are many in the original zones. And like I just edited (sorry...), I believe many of those require certain conditions hinted at in the sightseeing log. In my experience, I've really only ran across one in the newer zones that needed one of these conditions. Can't remember where though....

    Do the pre-HW vistas also have the visual clues nowadays?

    If you say 'pls' because it's shorter than 'please', I say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'.

    All pre-HW vistas do not have the white orb marker. Some of them are also weather specific and time of day specific unlike the HW ones which you just need to walk up to and do the right emote.

    No, pre-HW vistas don't have the visual markers.
    only pre-HW sightseeing log counts toward the achievement for apkalu minion.

    Wait! Some vista's aren't all /lookout actions. I know there's one in CWH where you have to /sit like you're in a hotspring!
