Thanks @ghallmark814 , I was just about to search for this diagram.

Yep. That's the one we settled on during TTT.

Thanks all. Nothing pains me more than visiting friends’ towns and seeing them do the diagonal approach.

relic in this dig site only resides in one square though, so you can't rely on a partial find to pinpoint its location.

@ghallmark814 it was a team effort of a few of us - thanks. I still managed to remember the pattern though

edit: this was the first draft, the second pic in this thread was the final version

And yes this one was the final pattern that was the most efficient and had better coverage.

I just remember where the first hit is then I remember it’s like moving your knight on a chessboard .

Thank you!! I was like "Ughhh I had that stupid pattern memorized and now I can't remember it at all!!"

Thank you! Friend and I were looking for it

I see that they're all a knight's move away from each other, apart from the four corners.

Do I just not understand this pattern? I’ve now followed both layouts and have not found any rocks or relics until I’ve uncovered every square

When using the pattern, you're watching for the "clue rocks", which flank the target on each side. Once you see a patch of clue rocks, abandon the pattern and dig by the rocks to find the target.

There are clue rocks, as shown in the images below. Once you find one of these, you know the relic will be adjacent to the clue rock. Using the pattern will help you find the relic in the fewest number of shovels.
