Before you go
- Antiquities access with Scrying and Excavation advanced for the lead’s difficulty.
- Access to Necrom and the Telvanni Peninsula.
- For Bastion Nymic sources, access to the event and its daily quest entry.
- A specific lead target, since its acquisition source depends on the antiquity.
Farming steps
- Open the Antiquities menu and identify the exact lead you want and its acquisition source.
- Travel to the named Telvanni Peninsula source: Prime Cataloger, a Bastion Nymic event chest, or Anchre Egg Mine’s delve boss, as appropriate.
- Complete that activity and check the journal for the lead; do not assume another source yields the same item.
- Select the lead and scry it in Telvanni Peninsula.
- Use the resulting clues and any available foci to narrow the dig site shown on the map.
- Travel to the marked site, use the Antiquarian’s Eye if needed, and excavate the antiquity.
- Collect the reward and use, keep, or sell it according to the item’s function.
- Dark Metal Cubes are associated with Bastion Nymic chests, while Dried Puspockets are associated with the Anchre Egg Mine delve boss.
- Foci can reduce the search area; use them when the initial site is broad.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat only the source route for leads that remain useful. Some leads may require a new drop to scry again; do not treat the excavation reward as an unlimited farm.
Common mistakes
- Farming the wrong activity for a target: verify its exact lead source first.
- Trying to scry outside the lead’s zone: leads are zone-restricted.
- Searching the full dig area without using available clues: scry successfully and use foci to narrow the site.
When to stop or switch
Stop once the target antiquity is excavated or you no longer need additional copies; switch to another lead source if the target’s lead has not appeared after a reasonable attempt.
