*As written above you need to gather a shiny to start the quest. However, the shiny will not be visible unless you wear [[Toggery's Tinkered Excavation Cap]], the reward from the quest [[Tinkering with Toggery]]. You can see the shiny with the [http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Excavation_Helmet D.I.R.T.Y. Excavation Helmet] '''(pre-TSO live event item)''' too.

* The shiny is directly to the right of the zone line; you can zone in, get the shiny and zone out without engaging any mobs at all. If you are using a Gnomish Divining Rod or the Track Harvestables skill, it will show up as "a mysterious thread" in the list.

* Only one person may loot the shiny per instance, but looting the shiny does not lock you to an instance for more than 30 minutes. Clicking on the shiny will place "a mysterious thread" in your inventory; however, it is not tradeable or shareable via lottery with a group. When the quest starter appears, should you click "Decline", the thread will disappear from your inventory and you would need to go into a fresh instance of Deep Forge to get another one.
