the light of safety quest

There won't be a cursor when you're looking for it, you need to hover somewhere below the moon. A handy tip as well is to make sure you have your quest hints turned on, which you can find from the Optimization settings (the wrench icon at the top-left of the window). It will show a popup of the quest objective when your mouse is hovering over the right spot.

Also, here's an image of where my cursor was when I was digging it which might help you. You can also see the quest tip on there. Nobody comment on my lack of Ancient Gift



If you still can't get it, let me know and I'll see if I can get another image since it's from a video recording.

I made that reply while I wasn't in-game so didn't give a lot of details about the quest hint, but do you have "Mouseover - Hidden Quest Hints" box unticked in your optimization settings? That's what you'll want to get the little popup - I forgot for a moment that the setting works different from what you'd expect. Try aiming your camera the same way in the picture (facing slightly down towards the ground), it should be easier to dig. Also, try just moving your cursor slowly around the area under the moon and see if the moon lights up a bit when doing so, make sure to check just above the ground as well. When it lights up your cursor is on the digging spot.

I had a look at my recording but a lot of the angles in it are about the same as the one I gave you. Most I can really do is get another character to the quest and get some more pics at a better angle.

Yeah, uncheck that box because it's misleading. The quest hint popup should appear when hovering around the area after you've unchecked it and applied the settings.

I've been able to dig the lantern very easily by turning to screen so that you look directly down towards the ground, stand on/near the spot, and then dig the lantern itself.
Though Im confused because it seems like you have the quest and still need to do it, but the lantern is light up as if you already dug it?..

Okay, so I got a character to the point of the quest and I've made a gif which hopefully can help. You can see me moving the cursor in and out and you'll notice the moon lights up a little, and I draw a circle with my cursor around where you need to click. The first angle isn't great, but I also show this from an angle facing towards the ground which is much easier to dig from. I did notice that while recording I did have to click a few times in the same spot to get it to dig, so you may have to click a few times in the same spot or move your cursor a few pixels.

Didn't want to embed it here because it was about 2.5MB or so. I hope it helps. If not then I'm not really sure what else to suggest other than making sure your inventory isn't full, or possibly trashing and retaking the quest.
