One of the exploreables has a very large elemental, and a series of crystals. The reward for this is 'earthen relics' which were all empty. Likewise in the Stone Monster EQA, all of the loot placeables titled 'Earthen Relics' were broken, and the boss seemed terribly weak. Unsure if the last part is a bug.
This is still an issue.
The journal is also bugged. It dont show the quest name.
Also not to knit pick but maybe some actual semblance of lore or story?
It's cool in theory and an enjoyable quest but there's no telling what, why, or how the "Thing" is there, which makes for weird RP.
