Scrying and Excavation progress is broken for all secondary characters

Leveling scrying and excavation to level 5 is the same for all characters.
But starting at level 5, progress is done through purple and later gold seeds.

The problem is that all purple seeds do only appear once per account in each zone.
This makes it horrifyingly hard to level up scrying and excavation past level 5 on characters other then your main that has those skill lines at 10.

The purple excavations should be doable once per character in each zone, not once per account.
You could just replace the reward for those excavations with a much lower reward.

Or you should move the treasure chest glow passive to excavation level 5 (or lower), so that it is attainable on all your characters, because this would be the main reason to level up excavation on multiple characters.

As it stands now, the skill progression is totally broken, and forces you to do an insane amount of low green/blue excavations to level up. Making leveling the skill line on other characters such a chore, that it's not worth it.

This can clearly not be the intended design...

Kind regards,
Michael

    Leveling alts is easy if you do it in a certain way. You can scry any lead (including master and ultimate) on your main, then excavate them on alts for full xp. In this way, you can level your alts up to around level 5 - 7 very fast. Once you're at 7, they can scry and excavate their own master level digs for full xp.

    Do 3 basic scry/excavations to get to level 2. Once you have the shovel, you can do purple fairly easily and gold with a bit of practice. It gets easier with another level or 2.

    You can reliably farm gold quality void crystal anomaly from Coldharbour alchemy nodes with a drop rate of about 25%. Farm the lead on your main, scry on your main. Swap to your low level alt to dig it up for 10xp and repeat.

    I'm assuming you are joking?
    Or are you offering to send everyone money to pay for it?

    But in all seriousness, suggesting to just buy stuff because it's broken in game is of course a disservice to all gamers everywhere...
