Just a tip for PS4 users for the antiquarian eye, to quick slot go to collections then tools, took me a hot minute to find it and thought others might find this useful :)
As an end game player that's done basically everything you can do in this game I am really looking forward to this. I love adventuring. Thank you for a great video!
I had done pretty much everything too. I pitched this for the last 2 years going to ZOS and they finally made it and I’m so flipping excited I could cry lol!
Super informative. I had no idea that slotting the eye gave me a waypoint. I was just running around the excavation zones hoping to get lucky. Lol and I now know how to better use the eye while excavating.

HEY! just saw you in Arteum and had to give you props figured I'd do it here too, went ahead and linked this to a lot of my friends too. Definitely the best guide I was able to find!!!
thank you!, I hope it's not too too terribly difficult to obtain ALL of these amazing things, :) looks like this will be something that will keep us busy, I look forward to working towards these items for my homes!! SO excited!
@@ShimmerVids i have a quick question, skill points, spending on the new skill line, are these existing skill points you'd have earned in the game/chapter or do you earn skill points to spend as you find and loot the item from the excavation site??
Shimmer you are my spirit animal. I came to this guide with that same feeling after doing the introduction quest . Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone.
Hi Shimmer, I just got the Greymoor chapter, so I'm looking forward to doing my first few excavations, thank you for being so thorough and enjoyable in your instruction.
@@ShimmerVids Yah! It is very good for the game when systems like this are added. I sometimes wondered why I am searching the game's environment when all I find is rice and barley and 0 gold gear in virtually everything I search.
OMG, thank you for this! I didn't know we could use the Eye outside of the Scrying minigame, I've seriously just been running all over an excavation area looking for those mounds!
Honestly thank you firstly you so good and have the perfect voice for explaining things makes it educational and enjoyable like I was getting frustrated cause they never explained how the antiquarian eye works so I was just running around trying to find the dig mound
Thank you so much for sharing this video! My Fiance and I are having lots of fun hunting for these artifacts and also I was struggling to understand what I had to do, since it just did not explain anything. But not to discourage anyone; It does make sense once you get into it. Just practice and don't worry - you don't lose anything from making any mistakes at first, so just keep trying stuff and Pay close attention to the prompts and hints on-screen while doing the mini game.
Three comments: as you do higher level scrying and excavation, the green leads shift up from beginner to intermediate to advanced. It is also possible that they will go to master, but I haven't seen that yet. when you fill the expanded the shovel/trowel storage bar, you get two firings on the same turn - the trowel digs down 6 instead of 3 - the shovel removes 2 levels down instead of 1. Don't go down too far or you could damage the item trowel level 2 allows safe detonation of fissures - set up a line of all the same exact dirt level (including the fissures), use the trowel to go all the way down, and you get a line which will expose the entire line to unearth a whole bunch of bonus items.
Yea they changed the entire system the day after I uploaded. I’m planning on updating but we just moved and moving to a new position at work. Should be all settled in 4 weeks or so to resume guides :)
I am honestly SO hyped to start this on the 10th. This is almost exactly the sort of new content I wanted. I'm sure it could potentially become grindy as heck over time, but as someone who isn't desperate to get the new Mythic gear ASAP, this looks like something I will really enjoy.
Wow I gave up on antiquities. Took me forever to find the sites. Never knew the eye could guide you. Back doing digsites thanks to your vid. Thank you.
Until I watched this video I didn't know/realise that the 'timer' was based on a set of turns that are player controlled - before then I thought I had to beat a countdown & go as fast as possible before time ran out. Excavating gold leads is much easier now I can take my time & think carefully through what approach I should take with each turn - thanks! :)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has saved me so much frustration finding dig sites. I had no idea you could quick slot thw antique eye to help show you where the dig site is!!!
I am so thankful for this video, I didn't know you could use the antiquarian's eye within a dig site so I was going around the whole site and trying to find where to dig! By just looking with my eyes ;-;
I'm hopeless in excavating the five parts of The Ring of the Pale Order. Always running out of time. . . Video will be a great help for many. Thanks and thumbs up 👍✌️👍
I don’t eff around. Mainly why I started my channel I hated watching videos with people just dragging on and on and didn’t get to the subject that you even clicked the video for in the first 5 minutes lmao
I know I am 2 years late to this post, but thank you so much. And thanks to your baby for letting you explain it to me. I owe the little person a drink in a tavern when they are old enough. Great guid that actually explained it all and it made sense.
Thanks ahaha! I spent way too much time on that thumbnail but I was so excited to Make it lmao!! Really wanted to use Indiana Jones music but copyrights and all lol
I am exited with the antiquities. I don't know what I will do first the antiquities or the greymoor quest line. One other thing in the skill line I learned is that there is a passive that will make it easier to find chests in dungeons.
Thanks! It was unclear that you had to use the augur to find the stuff when you are in the zone, I was so frustrated looking around where it said the thing was!
Thanks for this! But I can't seem to go forward because I keep getting message that I'm maxed out. The Problem is that I can't find a way to get UNmaxed.
Great video! There are a lot of, shall we say, middle of the road videos out there, that need some editing. Yours are not one of them! Also great to see a lady doing videos. Thanks again!
@@ShimmerVids slotted the tool that points in the direction of the dirt pile. Was a blessing almost snapped my disc trying to find my first dirtpile (would of been multiple digsites since i didnt know how the auger related to the potential digsites).
How do I get the Antiquarians Eye ? Yes I went to Solitude and started it and have locations all over my map but never scryd before. Today I decided to scry but but I don't have the freaking EYE !
When I try to scry faded psijic folio in Arteum it says 0/3 codex. And I can't scry it even though it is green. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong ?
Hi, played ESO years ago and I’m just getting back into it. I don’t have Greymoor and probably won’t for a while yet. Should I hang onto my museum pieces, or can I destroy them to free up space?
No so the museum pieces are for a collectible. Which zone did you pick up the pieces for and I can help you figure out which one it’s for, or name off the pieces for me. Antiquities is a skill line and system you can only have access to if you own greymoor.
It means you need to complete the Alik’r pathfinder achievement before you can purchase it. Go to Alik’r desert and look for that achievement to see what you need to do to complete or your progress. That one is discovering the 5 points of interest in the zone (the eyeball icons)
Greymoor. It might be added as a separate crown store purchase after the next expansion releases, or added to eso plus but that’s just speculation at this point.
Thank you for the video, however the Antiquities system has been changed quite a bit since you recorded it. The counter at the top now shows time. The augur has it's own counter and doesn't use the time counter at the top. Two brush uses charge the shovels to full instead of 3.
I’m a new player and I’m lost I looking for refitted dwarven rod and I have all the checks and it led me to azura shrine but I can’t find the dig site would you know what to do

Intro quest was soooooo bad 😂
as a player logging back in for the first time since 2017 and having bought eso plus this helped SO much! Thank you!
You’re welcome! Welcome back!!!
you are literally the only person to say head to
" western skyrim" and for that i thank and follow you. everyone just said head to solitude..........

Thank u so much i didn’t know u needed greymore and i was so confused
Glad to help!
THANK YOU!!!! I was gonna lose my shit but you saved me with this great tutorial

Thanks for the great explanation!

So freaken helpful. Thanks!
YW!
I am exited with the antiquities. I don't know what I will do first the antiquities or the greymoor quest line. One other thing in the skill line I learned is that there is a passive that will make it easier to find chests in dungeons.
Yes there is!!! I love loot. And chests. I will pull a dungeon over or leave the tank to die when I see a chest in a dungeon lmao
Thanks again Shimmer!
🤜
Thanks for the explanation, looking forward to trying this out
Anytime! I wish it were live already lol!
Same here
Superb video, very clear and got me interested. May start a new character just to 'role play' .
Yay!!! I haven’t roleplayed in eso but there is a nice large community for that!
Thank you so so much and I love the baby making background noisies :3
Really helpful and very well explained have liked and subscribed as a result and look forward to more great content
Yay!!!
Thanks for making this, I had no idea what I was doing lol

Thanks!
Awesome! Ty! Totally helped!!!

THANK YOUUUU! OMG SO CONFUSING. YOU'RE THE BOMB
You’re welcome!
Thanks! It was unclear that you had to use the augur to find the stuff when you are in the zone, I was so frustrated looking around where it said the thing was!

so its basically a combination of bejeweled and minesweeper...I love it
Yep haha
thx alot this helped me find my first one :)
Thank you! This is very helpful =)

No problem!

Got a legendary cats eye prism from a master chest but I don’t know what to do with it
Great video, thank you
You’re welcome!
Hello, nice video thanks for sharing for a returning player 😁
Glad to help!
Just dropped in and was wondering how you get the scryables for the high end loot for this exercise
You get them from various things by playing the game. Looting containers, killing mobs, doing dungeons etc.
Epic stuff!!
ALL THE EPICS! ALL THE TREASURE!!!!!
@@ShimmerVids you better believe i am gona be all over this when it lands on live servers! lol
the shovel will dig one or two layers depending on bars...
They changed it literally the day after I made this lmaoo. I was pretty pissed 😠
It belongs in my museum!!!
hahahahah! I wanted to use the Indiana Jones music but copyrights and all :(
@@ShimmerVids rip :(
Very solid guide, ty...
Thanks for this! But I can't seem to go forward because I keep getting message that I'm maxed out. The Problem is that I can't find a way to get UNmaxed.

Where do I get the quest like for the marble white dye😅
Geez zos's tutorial (or lack there of) was shite and thats putting it nicely
Thank you for uploading this
Srs I was running around like wtf!!??? Lol thanks! Glad to help!
@@ShimmerVids slotted the tool that points in the direction of the dirt pile. Was a blessing almost snapped my disc trying to find my first dirtpile (would of been multiple digsites since i didnt know how the auger related to the potential digsites).
Nice job !
are any of the minigames/puzzles timed? I'm sight impaired and find them imposing
The excavation is. They changed it from number of clicks to time. When you click you reduce the time. I’m going to get a corrected video out soon.
Like for the thumbnail image!
I’m so effin proud of that thumbnail! Lmao I spent an exorbitant amount of time on it 😂 hahah
i haven’t played this game for like half a year. it looks so strange to see this kind of thing in eso.
Right?
How do I get the Antiquarians Eye ? Yes I went to Solitude and started it and have locations all
over my map but never scryd before. Today I decided to scry but but I don't have the freaking EYE !
Thank u soooi much
🤗
Really wish you would get more of the new runes with this they are scarcer than a Kuta.
When I try to scry faded psijic folio in Arteum it says 0/3 codex. And I can't scry it even though it is green. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong ?
You need to find 3 leads, and dig them up to get that item.
love this new gold farming method, great time passer between dungeons.
Agreed!
So when I find an antiquity do I just sell iy
Most are vendor trash some are items to hold onto. Just look at the tool tip on the piece you dig up.
Hi, played ESO years ago and I’m just getting back into it. I don’t have Greymoor and probably won’t for a while yet. Should I hang onto my museum pieces, or can I destroy them to free up space?
Also, are museum pieces and antiquities the same thing? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
No so the museum pieces are for a collectible. Which zone did you pick up the pieces for and I can help you figure out which one it’s for, or name off the pieces for me.
Antiquities is a skill line and system you can only have access to if you own greymoor.
Shimmer so far all I have is this Construct’s Left Hand. Can’t remember where I picked it up, either somewhere in Morrowind or Hew’s Bane I think.
I try to buy a "Lead" on a vendor but its "red" and I must have the "alik'r desert pathfinder achievement", what this mean?
It means you need to complete the Alik’r pathfinder achievement before you can purchase it. Go to Alik’r desert and look for that achievement to see what you need to do to complete or your progress. That one is discovering the 5 points of interest in the zone (the eyeball icons)
So I need greymoore? Does it come with eso plus?
Greymoor. It might be added as a separate crown store purchase after the next expansion releases, or added to eso plus but that’s just speculation at this point.
Very helpful! Now I'm just wondering how many hours it'll take before I can get a mythic item.
Good question!😂
The aesthetic of the antiquities system minigame looks like mobile app with cash purchases lol
Haha
I cant use the Augur, Everytime I press R it does nothing at all no lights or anything.
I guessed there are still bugs. I quit the game and started over again. Now I can Excavate like normal.
I had that issue yesterday it broke on me lol!
Thank you for the video, however the Antiquities system has been changed quite a bit since you recorded it. The counter at the top now shows time. The augur has it's own counter and doesn't use the time counter at the top. Two brush uses charge the shovels to full instead of 3.
They changed so much 😭😭😭 I yelled at them for it lmao! I’ll have a corrected video out next week 😞☹️
