Excavating Gold Items
I have just got to level 7 in scrying and excavation. I can quite easily get the items when purple, getting gold however is a different story. I can scry the sites no problem, but once excavating I am at a total loss why I cannot get the item. I can clearly see the chest yet I still run out of time. I have seen this has been fixed on PC. I hope this is getting fixed in the next patch as is it extremely frustrating. I will just have to carry on getting purple items for now and pray it is resolved on the 24th.

✭FWIW, you need to aim to uncover the sparkly bit rather than the item. They're mismatched. And yes, it's a total pain.PC NA, PC EU
