Sparkling Trail and Star?

[Samhara Kali]

I keep seeing these flying sparkling trails and they end with this glowing star looking thing. I've tried digging in the spot, etc. but nothing happens. Anyone know what this is or what to do?

I think they are spawned items that have gotten stuck mid-air. I ran into some when I did a bunch of digging for clay, too. So, it's likely a piece of clay or something similar that popped out, only it never fully landed for you to collect.

On Discord they said that the glowing stars are just a visual bug, so we could ignore it. However if you're talking about the sparkling trails that lead someplace, you get those by opening the map and clicking on a NPC that you're trying to find. The sparkling pathfinder will lead you directly to that particular NPC. (For even faster way to find them, click on the character's icon, then click on the well closest to their location and it will teleport you, then start the pathfinder line from that point to the NPC.)

I've had it happen with me while diiging repeatedy for clay with a level 10 digging companion. The game can't keep up with how fast i'm digging and sometimes the bonus item spawned by my companion gets stuck in midair and leaves a permanent sparkling object.
