Excavation Point

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

These appear randomly throughout both dungeons and outdoor areas wherever there are bones in the terrain, and can be excavated using a Pickaxe. In outdoor areas, Excavation Points only appear at night.

Excavation Points will disappear if they have been emptied of all contents, have not been touched for a period of time, or they are outdoors and game time changes to day.
