Note that as of 16 January 2024, this WQ does not work well for druid flight form or stealth. You must walk on the ground to trigger most of the items.

Happy Hunting!

Comment by TheRazielim

If you get stuck at 67%, relog. I got stuck after collecting 2/3 of the items and spent 15mins running around like an idiot without the thing pinging me, making sure I covered every square inch of the search zone. I relogged, re-equipped the Goggles, and it pinged me right away for the 3rd piece.

After activating the Technoscryers from my bags (there was no quest button or extra action button for me), I found 3 items at:

/way #2133 38.92 50.09
/way #2133 39.68 50.59
/way #2133 40.97 50.88

(quick edit, there seems to be several more possible random locations that can appear (and the ones I listed aren't always guaranteed), but I didn't keep track of their coordinates at the time, JElmore's comment has some additional likely possibilities)

Comment by Medlir

This seemed semi-bugged a bit ago; after picking this up after doing the storyline version first, this WQ version was then available... except the third item was just nowhere to be found. The tracker would never lead to a third item or turn red at all. Had circled the relatively small quest area MANY times, tried leaving the area and coming back, fully logging off and back on, destroying my goggles and getting new ones in the cave, etc. Finally, after more than a half hour of leaving and coming back and just doing random mining and killing everything in the area, I was just outside the cave again and the little white wisp indicator took off toward the Djaradin tower directly across from the cave and it ended up being a scroll item at the top. Not sure if everyone is competing for the same items, and so many people doing it at the same time was just preventing me from seeing ANY items for a long time or what... but if you run into the same... it apparently will eventually appear.

Comment by JElmore

I think the items and their locations are random. Here's what I found so far:

Scroll at /way #2133 42.04 50.67 Scroll
Another scroll at /way #2133 40.96 50.85 Scroll
Drinking horn at /way #2133 41.16 50.63 Drinking horn
Necklace at /way #2133 41.09 49.33 Necklace
Oil-drenched torch at /way #2133 41.09 50.74 Oil-drenched torch
Totem-looking item at /way #2133 39.87 51.58 Totem

Comment by KuniZyrekai

Another potential fix for people who are stuck at 67% seems to be toggling war mode on. It finally pinged my third item after that.

Comment by Kracker5000

This whole event is garbage. Clunky elemental that can block your mouse, small totem that sometimes gets stuck in the ground/ unclickable, a dumb hot/cold system that's un-intuitive, water/dirt/fire spots(?) that don't spawn sometimes which disallow you from cooling/dirting/heating the sample. And then issues like this where the intro questline shares quest objectives with the following world quest so you have to phase to WM to complete it. This is one of the most tedious, boring, and frustrating events Blizzard has made yet.

EDIT: Actually, it's even worse because I went to do this quest on an alt - there just isn't more than 2 pieces to find in one phase. Searched everywhere on my alt and only found the scroll and the satchel for 66%. How did this get past play testing?

Comment by Dalylah

I got stuck at 67% like most people. I had to log out, wait about 5 minutes, log back in. Then the goggles worked again. I found the final scroll ( /way 39.66 51.07 ) on top of the tower across from the cave with the quest giver. Submitting screenshot to hopefully help.

Comment by astha

I found out after several try i got it to work by doing it same way as the quest in Bastion where you have to keep the forge steady by adding stuff and so, so basically its just to keep the line on the middle part and watch out for timer not to run out and use lava and totem. Dont know if it makes any sense.

Comment by bratskia

Anyone else do everything the other comments have said to help and the third item still not show up for you?
Been here 5+ times, WM on & off, logging in and out, even waiting time before logging in again. Still nothing for me. Not sure what to do.

Comment by Shashos

I was on the third item, went to the area where it showed to be. Couldn't find a thing. Suddenly, I was shifted to another layer. All the mobs I just killed respawned on top of me and the indicator for the last item was no longer pointing there. It had moved back to the area where I found the second item. Blizzard... please. Please go back to the old style archaeology. This buggy mess is making me so frustrated.

Comment by Layhalani

While you're here, don't forget to /dance with Zenata for part of Goggle Wobble

/way #2133 38.2 49.8 Zenata at Igiras Watch

It might be worth noting that I could not use the Technoscryers after I completed the quest, so make sure you do it before you finish!

Comment by TigerAceRay

Quest is back up again today. Bug is still there for the 3rd item. Turn on War Mode before trying to save yourself time.

Comment by globalmenace

In case you are also wondering how to start this WQ:

The yellow dot on the minimap points to the quest giver (she also has the glow), but she has no dialog (like "Start the dig/search"). There isn't any extra button either. Actually, you have to open your bags and manually equip the Technoscryers.

Comment by Toenail

finally got it to work. i joined a group doing a quest in zaralek (not this quest) looking under questing category. my experience overall is that joining groups or raids in other zones doesn't shift you any longer. i had tried reloading, logging out for a long time, leaving igira's watch and coming back, and nothing worked. i was about to go back to valdrakken and turn on warmode when i joined that zaralek quest group.

good luck all

Comment by hotcore

If your having trouble finding the last item then i suggest jumping realms.

Comment by VSUReaper

I tried everything mentioned here - logging in and out, changing zones, checking in warmode, checking after warmode was turned off, spent over an hour wandering around just killing and mining everything in that small area.... and I'm still sitting at 66%.
Saw probably a dozen other people saying the same thing as me - 2/3 of the artifacts can be found, the last one is MIA.
Stupid quest is bugged, cant be completed.

Comment by Ironic42

Had the same issue as lots of others - got 2 artifacts, then scoured the whole quest area for the third, couldn't get breadcrumbs or bars on the find-o-meter. Tried logging out and back in, leaving the quest area until the quest was removed from my display and returning, doing a Myrit's dig instance, nothing worked.

Logged in the next morning, went back, 3rd artifact came up near a platform that I had checked at least 3 times the day before (not the top of the tower). Not sure if what fixed it was exiting the zone entirely and returning or just being logged out for more than a couple minutes, but I have to think it was one of those two things.

Comment by TiagoAguiar

If the 3rd item doesn't appear, just log off wait around 5 minutes and logon again.
The goggles will start showing the way for the last item =)

Comment by Slunko

Toggling war mode didn't help.

Comment by dukeenrike

Tower at /way 39.66 51.07 , Outside the cave at /way 38 50 and behind a hut at around /way 41 48 this one took a while to show for me

Comment by Claptrapp

I tried everything but the only thing that worked to find the third item was to realm hop and the tracker worked instantly.

Consolidated the list for copy paste into addons

Comment by Jkizis

If anyone doing the waking shores one is stuck at 67%, the third item is at 57, 45 (well for this specific one). I kept getting a false ping for it going up the one tower which was completely the wrong direction. eventually ignored it, did a full circle, and the right trail popped up.

Comment by btarb24

If the quest list doesn't give you a button to turn on the goggles then you can bring up the scrying mode via the chat command:

/use technoscryers

You do not have to have the goggles in your bag, or even own them at all (i destroyed mine long ago).
