From where I'm sitting, at 158m xp, nope, you're doing everything right. That's all there is to it. It's a sloggy grind. Gets faster, gets slower, until you hit that wall where you watch the xp pour in, level 120 comes and goes, and you find yourself still sitting at two different dig sites trying to find pieces for two different items and not finding them despite seeing others gather up pieces seemingly without any concern from RNG.
Just stick with it, try to mix it up with training other skills and you'll advance this thing.
Hang in there.
