Do NOT die on top of the platform or you will have to spirit rez. There is NO way to get your body back if you die up there. If you decide to fight the mobs up there and are about to die - jump off!
You have to move forward slightly for the quest to complete.

Description
This is a teleportation device. If I had to guess, I'd say that it leads to the surge needle platform floating above the Moonrest Gardens to the west. I need you to use it to investigate what's up there. It appears that the device works both ways so you shouldn't have to jump off. I expect that once you teleport to the top of the surge needle, there will be some sort of apparatus on it to observe. You should be able to use the teleporter from anywhere within the gardens.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Strange Device
Picking up this strange device, you are certain that it is magical in nature. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to connote any other kind of use. Perhaps the archmage back at Stars' Rest to the east of the Moonrest Gardens would be able to tell what it's used for?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Focus on the Beach
The mage hunter forces are active on the Glittering Strand to the south of Moonrest Gardens. My guess is that you'll find a heavily guarded focus on the beach and a captain who is in charge of it. No doubt the captain will have some sort of controlling device on their person.
