November 8th, 2016. I'm able to click the Archaeology Dig Sites and blow them up, but I am unable to click and gather the Highborne Archaeology Fragments. Hopefully it's hotfixed before the quest ends.

Description
I'm not sure if you're in on this, but the Reliquary has commissioned the goblins to help them with uncovering artifacts in this land. I'd like you to go and see if there's any validity to this rumor... and I'd also be interested to know the results.
