All that Glitters quest is glitched

[maggiesc]

I found the two parts of the pillar and am on the quest to repair the ruined pillar now that I have the parts. However, I am unable to react with the pillar part buried in the sand. It had glitched previously on an earlier part of that quest, but I logged out and back in and that fixed it. But now nothing I try seems to work. Nothing comes up when I go near the pillar and I can walk right through it [the one buried in the sand].

Update: Never mind! Apparently I had to dig up the pillar in the sand about 3 times then I was able to interact with it.
