Excavation bugged

Pauls · May 2020

Is that a *** joke? 3 times in a row mythic part didnt register as found, how you didnt fix this bug during all maintenances we had since Greymoor launch?

It happened to me with gold items. I am glad you have same problem not that I am happy about it but this tells me I am doing it right but not getting the results.

@pauls, @Danouk, There are several other threads about this issue on gold and purple lead digs (since launch). Apparently it is something like the actual antiquity location not being lined up with what you see on screen. Make sure to put in a /bug report or call in a ticket to get this issue bumped up in the priority list - not sure if it's even on the ZoS radar yet or not.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom can you please check if this issue is going to be fixed in the next incremental patch or not?

1) Green shows on the far away spot. Item completely uncovered still shows as not uncovered
2) grid is tilted 45 degrees after shake (NO TROLLs were nearby).

It occurs in different places than the green area. and cannot be received.

i have the same issue with gold / mythic items every time...i basically cant dig them out

This is still happening. I have excavated both the item and bonus loot only to get the error multiple times. Is there a workaround?

The work around is to follow the shape of the blue sparkles and not the picture of the chest. Here's a sketch that @R0ckster drew to help me:

Use this as a template to copy the pattern of the sparkles. Don't follow the picture of the chest.

The pattern can also be reflected like this. Again, follow the sparkles to make the shape.
