Antiquity lead bugged

I'm trying to level my scrying on a second character. Yesterday I had her scry and excavate the Stonefalls zone green and blue treasures, which should have opened the purple treasure lead, but it didn't.

This makes it very hard to level beyond level 5. Yes, the passives have skill points and this character can scry and excavate purple antiquities.

You only get the purple leads on your first leveling of the skill line. Any subsequent character is only greens and blues.

Prior to this update I could swear I was, but maybe they were non-treasure leads. In which case this would be a suggestion since you can't purchase this skill line.

If you're leveling alts, remember that you get the full xp for scrying and excavation when the antiquity is dug up. You can scry leads on your main and swap to your alt to dig them up for full xp. While you are level locked and unable to scry higher tier antiquities if you're underleveled, you can theoretically dig up a master level even on a level 1 excavation toon. This gets realistically doable once you have the trowel at level 2. The shovel at level 4 makes it significantly easier to dig up higher level antiquities.

You can find a near endless supply of the gold tier lead "Void Crystal Anomaly" from alchemy nodes in Coldharbor. It has an exceptionally high drop rate. You can farm alchemy nodes in perhaps the Hollow City on your main. Once you find the lead, scry it, then swap to your alt and dig it up.
