TheWoWDBThese quests are annoying until you realize that there is a temperature bar on the bottom of your screen. In order to heat it up, walk over the small lava slimes that are moving around. to cool it down, use the totem. It will only let you click on the treasure while the temperature is within the proper range.
I wish they would let you move that darn bar to a way better spot.

This was glitching horribly. I had to leave the quest zone to reset, and then it took several digs to find it. And, it's not like the other ones where you find lots of small targets, on this one you're digging up a big one just beside the giver. Don't give up, just try again and it will *eventually* work.
Terrible quest. And I know what you're thinking; you dont know what you're doing. Wrong. I am doing it right but it won't finish once I have it in the right range. It is so damned buggy, like every one of these quests.
