Dead Mythic Lead

xaraan · June 2022

After getting a lead for one of the new mythics, I went to dig it up and was sent to the spot shown on the screenshot (just outside the crafting station tunnel on Amenos island). (It's the gems from mudcrab beach for oakensoul).

It's pointing me into the cliff face. I checked around the other side to see if I could get on top of cliff and couldn't find a way. I checked in the tunnel toward the crafting station, again - nothing. I'm already almost outside the area anyhow, so once you go into the tunnel you are out of the area anyway.

Pretty sure this is poorly place because the "glow" of the dig site that usually comes with a slight humming you can hear when you are near it - I can hear that hum standing by the cliff wall.

Relogging didn't help.

Needs a fix asap IMO. Or this is either a dead mythic for me, b/c I'm not playing the RNG game again for this piece, as it took long enough and the RNG game for the other pieces has already been a fail and eaten up too much time I wish I was actually playing the game instead of farming bad RNG.

I've got the same location for the blue Stonelore Circle Effigy, and can't figure out how to get to it either.
Looks bugged to me.

Yes I also have the same bug

You can always re-scry a lead. Just go to your leads and choose to do it. I think what I did was "abandon progress".

You don't lose the lead!

It's not 100% guaranteed that it'll come up with the blue map in a different place - or the mound might be in a different place within the blue map. You might have to do it more than once to get a good location. But this should be a usable workaround for you all to be able to get your antiquities while the buggy location is being fixed.

Of course, it doesn't mean the location isn't buggy or doesn't need to be fixed - it obviously does. Just giving you a workaround so you can get your antiquity now. Not everybody knows you can re-scry.

Hey all, thank you for reporting this. Please keep these coming - the screenshots of where the leads are not accessible are especially helpful, so we can get them fixed in future incremental patches.

There's a bugged dig location like this in Greenshade too - or at least there was prior to U34, I haven't tested since the update. (The dig is in the cliff formation just NE of the village outside Marbruk. I don't recall which lead it is for.)

I rescried and got a different location that worked.

I have that issue for the black elthreric pearls, same spot as what you've shown

Deter1UK · June 2022

I have the same issue at the same spot for Petrified Oak Loop

What Kelinmerial said worked for me.

Just open up the menu and at the bottom you'll see an option to abandon the dig and you can rescry for a new spot.
