Guild Wars 2

No matter what I do the rock pile will not yield the crown fragment. All I keep getting is “This is an ordinary rock-pile” Leave?

This is the first one in Diessa.

Did you do the event related to it?

The fragments aren’t interactable until the event in their area (listed on the quest text) have been completed (as those events are supposedly uncovering the pieces accidentally, and serve as filler material to pad the length of the story) then they go inactive until the event happens again.

All of the related events are old ones, and soloable, so if you can’t interact with it, hang around and to the event and try again.
