X Marks the Spot: Missing X on Map

[arislyn]

The "X" on the map for the treasure in "X Marks the Spot" is not showing up for me. I've talked to Pokee, found the bottle, and got a shovel. I'm all set! But, there is no indication on my map where I should look for it.

I had been ignoring it but, now, I realize I need to find it so I can get the cook station so I can open the cafe. I have run all over the island. I've even made it to the top of the mountain and I don't see anything. I've even tried running around watching for "dig" to pop up in case the visual isn't showing up.

Can someone please spoil me where I should be looking?

Watch this YouTube video starting at the time 53:42. I tried to start it at an area that would be recognizable to you. The streamer is just entering the under the umbrella area from the main square going toward the beach. The place you want is going to be on the beach and you should see the same sparkle that marks the spot as in the video. The video just seemed like the better way of showing where X marks the spot to you. Good Luck and hope you find it.

Are you playing the Demo? We also had some issues in the demo where the sparkle was not showing up.

I had one like that. it was located on the far end of the beach past the lighthouse, cross the water to the smaller beach, and right in the corner up against the stone cliff. Dig around in the corner, there may or may not be a tiny bit of sparkle there.
Thats where i found it in 2 play throughs;
Also follow the cliff around further to another small beach and there is a picture on the wall for you to learn the recipe

Yes, I am! I'm hoping that full release will correct the issue. In which case, I just need to be patient. The 10th will be here, soon. :D

Oh! I thought the picture on the cliff was for something else... the furniture station? I already learned whatever that picture is. Let me go make double sure that I don't have the cooking station already learned, then. I may be blind and have missed it in the crafting list!

Excellent! That's where I thought I remembered it being in the closed beta, but I wasn't sure. Yeah, the sparkle is definitely not showing up for me, but I'll just dig around in that area and see if I can find it. Thanks!!

Booo! I dug all around that area in the video and found nothing. Checked my crafting list and I don't have the cooking station learned, yet. Then, I went and double checked the drawing and I can't interact with it, so I assume that I either already got it or it's bugged.

Ah, well. Tuesday will be here soon enough and I'm betting that full release will fix it. :D

[Firefly2345]

I'm so sorry it wasn't there for you. I hope it's resolved on release Tuesday, if you want to continue your current game.

You could try a second game with a different profile. It's Sunday, the game doesn't release until Tuesday, it won't take long to get back to where you are, you can have a completely different character, And even change to another house where you might want to live.

Have I twisted your arm enough yet? XD

Haha! Well, I still have some other quests left to do, and work will keep me occupied, tomorrow. So, I can wait and see if the release fixes it. If not, then I'll start over. (That, and I'm having a serious bought of nostalgia and thinking about reinstalling EQ2.)

[Firefly2345]

LOL Fair enough. Work does take precedence and nothing like revisiting a loved game. Enjoy what's left of your weekend and hope Tuesday brings you a fix.
