Purple antiquities that come from green leads (such as ancestral motifs) don't count?

Isn't it the antiquity itself that's relevant, not the lead?

    these count the actual lead quality, a purple lead is one that requires like rank 6 in the scrying passive, and gold is the rank 8 scrying passive

    the actual item that comes out of it is irrelevant

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    The wording is misleading, then.

    Much of the wording Zos uses is misleading.

    I guess they could change it to "excavate xxx gold and purple leads" since that's actually the case

    the one i dislike the most is when they changed the "world bosses" one to "group bosses"

    never in my 8 years of playing this have i ever seen those referred to as "group bosses" lol

    Be able to scry gold leads.
    Go Coldharbor, Hollow City.
    Pick flowers until Void Crystal Anomany lead.
    Scry & excavate. Repeat until you have enough.

    That lead drops like hail. And yes, you need to excavate the antique.

    It's the lead you need to focus on (purple and gold leads), not the antiquity.
