Copied character.

I can't work out what I am supposed to be doing when Gabrielle tells me to scry for the Bottle of Proving. I use the scrying thing but can't work out what to do next. The cooldown is annoyingly long

I'll come back with more feedback if/when I can get the thing to work

The instructions for how to scry are utterly meaningless - "claim facets next to facets you already own" - which facets do I already own? I see various symbols, but don't know what they represent. The mechanics of this mini-game need better explanation.

I can see someone else interacting with the ground - is that somehow blocking everyone else from trying it? If so that needs to change - we're only on PTS and there are like 30 people here trying to do it

Question - via the patch notes, I know a box of leads is provided in top-level inventory. Is it still possible to hunt down the leads in the wild? Or are the inventory leads the only ones available to us on the PTS?

Having a chat with other people, I am on a copied character and cannot dig, someone else on a copied character can dig, so that isn't it.

Tried abandoning and restarting several times - apparently a dirt mound should appear that you can interact with, that isn't happening for me. Going to try a different character.

Am on a copied character (Lyra Iulus)

OK I travelled to a different zone then back to Solitude, the quest had reset so I spoke to Gabrielle and scryed again, this time I got the dirt mound.

Now I have unearthed the object but do not know how to pick it up out of the trench.

I mean seriously OMFG this is obscure - I was an archaeologist IRL btw, it should not be this difficult to understand - have some key prompts or more info in the quest tracker/journal, anything, please...

It definitely needs better explainations, especially the part about it being in your journal, if nobody had said that in chat I wouldnt have found it.

I have a question when this go live, on a main who had done the quest in all the zone do we will get the lead "find from quest" like said in the natch potes because otherwise i will be very sad

Ring of the Wild Hunt (Ring) (Requires Murkmire) - 1 – Increases your movement speed by 15% while in combat. Increases your movement speed by 45% while out of combat.

According to the lore, Wild hunts are a bosmer thing, what is a bosmer relic doing in Murkmire?

Edit: Patch notes didn't specify why it required Murkmire, but to clarify, I checked in-game and the ring is split into 5 pieces and one of them requires Murkmire to obtain. The part that requires a serpent piece so that's not bad.

Thanks for those testing. Does it still loom like a crappy mobile game aimed at 3 year olds?

I think the problem I was having with the minigame for scrying was that I was expecting more - I just clicked on groups of symbols with no rhyme or reason and it worked, I don't understand the point of making me click mindlessly a few times - it's like one of those premium rate phone in quizzes where the question is really easy but just having you phone in on a premium number without a question runs afoul of gambling laws - ie. the scrying minigame seems utterly pointless.

I am going to try it some more, maybe it is more meaningful with higher difficulty items.

OK looks like you CAN hotkey the eye thingy and when you are out in the wilds searching for the dirt mound it will put a blue ball of light pointing you towards the dirt mound. You have to have already scryed for the item though and have the general location marked on the map.

I have found 1 lead from a thieves trove and another from a chest so far for different items.

The minigames are not really straightforward at first, but easy to understand after a couple of tries. Both scrying and excavating gets more difficult as you progress, requiring you to think about your steps. It seems like a really fun thing that you can do whenever you want. I personally feel very positive about this new feature so far.

My only issue is, how rare are leads supposed to be? So far I only found leads by doing scrying. It seems that the basic green antiquities are available to scry without leads, but after those, I’m not sure how to go further. I went through the whole city of Anvil checking every container, talking to every merchant, pickpocketing npcs, cleared a delve, looted some chests and resource nodes and found zero leads. Are they supposed to be this rare? The description in the help menu gives you the feeling that they are easy to find because they are everywhere, but it seems like they are nowhere. I’ll need to do more testing.

And yes the scrying thing DOES do something when hotkeyed, after you have done the initial scry and are at the dig site you can use it hotkeyed to help find the dirt mound

BUG: despite being in the dig site area, using the hotkeyed eye did absolutely nothing for me - no lights, no animation, no nothing. The ONLY thing that happened was that the cooldown timer for the eye began.
