    Surveying Leves, I have no idea what to do?`

    Hey guys so I started leveling Mining and, went to horizon for my first leves at level 10, there's one in particular that I either don't understand or is bugged. It's called "We do This the Hard Way"

    The objective is to survey areas marked on the map, there were no mining nodes at the pickaxes on the mini-map for this quest. So I walked to the vicinity of the pickaxe signs and hit Lay of the Land, 1 and 2 nothing happened sat there for 20 minutes trying different abilities and I failed the leve due to time out.

    What am I missing on this quest or is it really bugged?

    Happened to me yesterday on a different leve for Botany. It is just a bug some times. I retried the same one later yesterday and it showed up like normal.

    Yes. What happened at least in my leve was that I was able to farm 7/8 nodes. The last circle had no node marker in the circle unless I use Lay of the Land and even when the nodes showed up on Mini the tree it should be on was blank. So slightly different than OP but probably same bug.

    Also, if the OP had not initiated it he would not have ran out of time and failed. Personally I just gave up cause knew it was pointless.

    Yes. It's a bug you occasionally see in surveying leves, and the only thing to do is abandon the leve. I've been hit several times by it myself.

    Is that the one that is right next to the bridge south east side of Horizon? If so, I believe, the nodes are at the bottom level. You'll have to jump off the cliff to find them. It got me confused at first too but I figured there must be something else going on.

    I had a similar problem with a leve near Camp Drybone. I initiated the quest and only 3 of the 4 nodes actually populated..there was a 4th orange circle but no mining pickaxe symbol or mining node anywhere to be found. I have done that same Leve maybe 4 or 5 times and that glitch happened 2 or 3 of those times.

    Hearing this I'm glad I kinda ignore doing fieldleves. I just don't like mining/foraging for nothing. Though I will use the fishing ones eventualy, but that's different.

    Well, not for nothing. You get exp for the actual mining and for turning in the leve, and the payment for completing the leve usually isn't bad. It's kind of relaxing not having to worry about what you'll do with the items you dug up.

    Well I'm a crafter too and I like having some of everything for future crafts anyways. So you can kinda see my issue. I'd much rather increase my stocks of materials than just chop ancient coins from trees that I can't even keep. :/
