FOUND Work around for legendary dig site bug

Hello some friends and I were banging our heads against the walls trying to get our mythik items. Here is the treasure chest pattern and the work around.
Basically made trace of it, cut it out and stuck it on my screen and lined it up with the green spots I found. Enjoy
Just thought I should share in case it doesn't get fixed in tonight maintenance :P

Scritchel✭✭✭Note: you'll need to rotate the shape because everyone is different.
In this picture I successfully fully uncovered the item xD4 -
Scritchel✭✭✭Pretty much ever mythik item Ive gone for has been bugged. This works for any Master ones (mythik). I havent gone above Master yet0

Scritchel✭✭✭Just had another one of mine glitched. Looks like we'll have to wait till the next incremental for it to be fixed

solasub✭✭✭✭✭is Zos aware of that? I mean, thos mythic thingies were almost the only reason to buy Greymoor... perhaps we could expect it to work without paste things on our screens...

Id be surprised if they weren't aware. It's annoying but at least I've been able to do all my mythik item leads :P It'll get fixed eventually0 -
Tsunahmie✭✭✭I cant exacavate yellow items at all. the boxes just wont count as uncovered even with this workaround lmfao0 -

✭✭I have multiple screenshots of failure when it's uncovered or success when it is covered. I've also had the encasement fail even though I am not touching a fissure, it happens a lot - it takes me 3-5 tries to actually get the legendary item because the game is essentially random.0 -

This. I ended up drawing a grid on a transperancy to succeed. The sparkles shape shows where the item lies, not the item itself. Thank's once again @Scritchel for the workaround.0 -

Really, I have to dig for something other than the image of the item itself. Jeez, who came up with that brilliance?
Anyway, thanks for the info. I've been pulling my hair out on my first yellow lead.1 -

They've stated it's being fixed in the incremental patch tomorrow

✭✭Wow! Can I have a refund on the several hours of my life I lost to this nonsense?
Here's one that failed. Note 3h 36m left on the dig and still could not remove it. After a few more like this I eventually just gave up out of frustration.

fortyfivekva_ESO✭✭✭Wow, this has been really frustrating but I'm glad they are aware of it. I'm on the last piece of mythic set and I can clearly see chest uncovered...yet keep failing. I took SS because I thought it wanted me to open up squares outside of dig zone! Nope seems I forgot to "follow the sparkles" not the chest=(

Phanex✭✭✭Agreed, I've had the same issue as well. I'm just holding off on doing my golds until they fix it. I know that we have 30 days once we get the lead, but if we scribe for it and find it how long is it still an option for us to go dig it?0 -

Not for Console.
But I found an easy way to approach these. Once I identify a single green square, I save the rest of my Auger charges. I then flatten out the squares surrounding my green square and use the heavy shovel to dig all the way to the item, level the area around my initial large square as I go. Once I have the initial 3x3 box uncovered, I use the remaining Auger charges to identify the areas remaining around my item for green squares. It goes pretty easy if you do it right.0 -

I've tried to do that, but I seem to suck at it. I'll have to wait wait for the fix for the consoles. Thanks for the advice!0 -
