Dig Site Reset: What Does It Mean in ESO?
In The Elder Scrolls Online, the concept of Dig Site Reset plays a crucial role in the Antiquities system, which allows players to discover and unearth ancient relics across Tamriel. Understanding how dig site resets work helps players efficiently manage their excavation activities and maximize their rewards.
Understanding Dig Site Mechanics
Each dig site in The Elder Scrolls Online corresponds to a specific lead that players have scryed. Once a dig site is located, players can begin the excavation process. However, not all attempts may result in the successful retrieval of the artifact, necessitating the need for a reset of the dig site.
- Dig sites are unique to each player, ensuring that your excavation efforts are not interrupted by others.
- The site resets if you complete the excavation or if you leave the area without completing it.
- Resetting allows players to retry the excavation with a fresh start, which is particularly beneficial if the initial attempt was unsuccessful.
How to Trigger a Dig Site Reset
Resetting a dig site can be done through a few different actions:
- Completing the excavation successfully: Once you have unearthed the artifact, the dig site resets automatically.
- Leaving the dig site area: If you move too far from the dig site, it will automatically reset, allowing you to reattempt the excavation upon return.
- Re-logging into the game: Logging out and back in can also reset the dig site, providing a fresh opportunity to dig.
Strategies for Effective Digging
To maximize your efficiency and success rate with dig sites, consider the following strategies:
- Prioritize high-level leads: Focus on excavating dig sites that correspond to high-level leads for more valuable rewards.
- Manage your time: If you find yourself struggling with a dig site, consider allowing it to reset and returning with a new strategy.
- Utilize tools: Make use of the tools and abilities available in the Antiquities system to enhance your digging effectiveness.
