ANTIQUITIES LEADS + LEAD LOCATIONS UBER-THREAD

Saucy_Jack

So I figured since we're all going to be hunting down leads for the antiquities system, it makes sense to have a handy-dandy central location to see where the various leads can be found and what they're for. Keep adding the leads you find and their sources, so we can update and refine the spreadsheet below!

NEW SUPEREDIT:
Inklings also has a mobile version of the lead spreadsheet that will be updated any time new info gets added!
It can be found here: https://ninja614.com/eso-antiquities-leads-and-sources/

AND there's also an addon that incorporates all the data in Inklings' spreadsheet!
Display Leads Addon

SUPEREDIT: Many thanks to @Inklings for their work in compiling this much-easier-to-read spreadsheet!

225+ leads all nice and neat set in tabs per zone in this spreadsheet. Also antiquities leveling info/strategies. Thank you all who have helped submitting lead locations.

This is a cracking idea!

I was hoping someone would take the initiative so I didn't have to try find the lead for Wild Hunt Ring myself

Good job

Kartalin

A few I found when I was testing which sources would offer leads:

(Hew's Bane thieves' trove)

(Wrothgar wandering merchant)

(Wrothgar treasure chest)

(Bangkorai safebox)

(Bangkorai stationary merchant - Evermore)

Saucy_Jack

I've put those ones in the list - thanks for the tips!

Just for future reference though, if posts could be in text form rather than screenshot form it would make my job a lot easier

Olauron

Stormhaven:
Beacon of Tower Zero (gold) - from psijic portal

Summerset:
Sticky Integument Leather (gold, for Thrassian Stanglers) - from psijic portal
Alinor Allemander (gold, emote, once per account) - from non-random encounter

It is near the theatre of Rellenthil

I got it in Grahtwood from the thieves trove.

Leads to Antique Maps are sold by wandering merchants (and stationary merchants that sell the same items) in the zones, they require Pathfinder achievement of that zone.

great idea!! thank you

I like this idea, but i have found several bugged leads (leads found in one zone for another zone which seems incorrect/bugged because the lead doesn't tell you which zone it is for or anything - it just zooms into Journal and if it isn't there when you look at the Scry for zone you are in...well it is a click on every zone to find it thing. Worse for the fragment ones it doesn't say on the lead/item in journal which zone it is in. THEN it is up to you to port to each zone until you find it under "scry".

Another BUG of note: The Master and Ultimate difficulty leads are both yellow leads.

That said I will note which I believe are bugged:

Antique Map of [Zone] - available from General Merchant/Innkeeper in the zone named for 1,000g, Green Lead.

• Alik'r
• Auridon
• Bangkorai

• The Rift
• Vvardenfell
• Wrothgar

Auridon:
Aldermi Golden Embellishments (purple) - BUGGED - Found in Thieves Trove on Betnikh
Maormeri Serpent Shrine (purple) - Safebox

Bal Foyen:
The Dutiful Guar (purple) - Safebox
Tri-Angled Truth Altar (purple) - Safebox

Betnihk
Ayleid Lightwell (purple) - Safebox, Wood Node, Mob (Ancient Soldier)
Warcaller's Painted Drum (yellow) - Mob (wasp), could easily come from other sources too

Bleakrock
Auri-El Metal Carvings (yellow) - part of Snow Treaders Mythic gear - Mob (Frostedge Sentry)
Brazier of Frozen Flame (yellow) - Mob (Drake Archer - in Stros M'kai) BUGGED
Ruby Dragon Skull (purple) - Treasure Chest, Wood Node, Thieves Trove

Greenshade
Greensong Gathering Circle (purple?) - Thieves Trove

Khenarthi's Roost:
Ancestral Elf:Axes (green) - Treasure Map Chest *BUG: All FOUR of these LEADS from one chest lol
Ancestral Elf:Belt (green) - Treasure Map Chest
Ancestral Elf: Helmets (blue) - Treasure Map Chest
Ancestral Elf: Staves (blue) - Treasure Map Chest
Sweet Khenarthi's Song (purple) - Thieves Trove

Reaper's March:
Moonlight Mirror (yellow) - Safebox

Stonefalls:
Ashen Infernace Gate (purple) - Safebox, Mob (Betty Netch), Treasure Chest
Dwarven Steam Conduit (blue) - Mount Fragment - Inner Sea Armature Delve Boss
Torc Tonal Focus (yellow) - Gear Fragment - Wrathvenom (boss) in Crow's Wood

Stros M'kai:

The Rift:
Ebony Fox Totem (purple) - Safebox

Can't check right now but i think this piece was scried in Summerset...
Preserved Music Box Mechanism (yellow) - BUGGED - Safebox in Stonefalls


Parting words: I think a lot of the Safebox and Thieves Trove leads "might" be found in mulitple locations other than these two source. Same with purple leads on mobs - these are likely multi-source. The yellow leads on mobs - as rarer leads might be mob specific.

Edit: I am assuming that leads from in zones they aren't for is bugged because of how the system currently works (not telling you where the lead is for, since this make finding leads in one zone for another zone counter-intuitive)

Saucy_Jack

Anyone find any new leads that aren't listed up top?

Cres

Found from Cheydinhal quest reward box

Ashtaris

There are no leads from Rolis or Faustina, which seems like a oversight. It would have been a nice way to give some perks to Master Crafters.

Shouldn't the leads we find in a certain zone be related to items in the same zone, or am I misremembering?

relentless_turnip

Are mythic items found in fragments? I'm sure I read that somewhere. Furthermore has anyone found my "wild Hunt" ring yet?

I found it on the PTS!! In my inventory...
I have a feeling it won't be as easy when Greymoor goes live 😞

Alphawolf01A

I think the wild hunt ring is in murkmire

Alphawolf01A

Also, I think there are 5 fragments for each of the Mythic items

Yes it is split into pieces. Five iirc. They are all found in different zones, you can get the leads from the box in the template inventory to check the zones they are in. I don't think anyone has found their sources yet though.

One of the pieces (a snake part I think) is in murkmire, but not the whole item

I haven't got any leads to the parts of this ring during normal gameplay. After spending some time searching I took the leads from the template character container. Ring of the Wild Hunt should be excavated in Greenshade, Grahtwood, Glenumbra, Malabal Tor and Murkmire.

Thanks for this👍

Further apologies for my ignorance I have spent zero time testing this new system. Mainly been trying builds for the next patch the wild Hunt ring included 😁

You require leads to scry and excavate right? So knowing the location of the fragments won't be enough?

That doesn't seem true so far atleast. The piece for Thrassian Stanglers listed above is found in Artaeum but excavated in Eyevea

You require leads to everything except the first green treasure of the zone. You need to scry the item on any character to excavate it on any character.

If I understand correctly, the lead is supposed to be found in the same zone as the excavation. (Unless its bugged which has been seen alot)

Where did you read/see that? I never saw it so I'm curious

"Lead sourcing is often related, directly or indirectly, to the Antiquity it will lead to. For instance, if you're looking for Leads to Antiquities concerning Glenumbra's history, try scouring Glenumbra."

Hrm, not sure i read it that way but i see what you're saying. It's could be a poor example. The item be about Glenumbra history, so checking for the lead there does make sense, but does that extend to where it should be excavated? Current state of PTS says no.

Alphawolf01A

I think that is how it is supposed to be, but the PTS is clearly bugged right now. That's why it is a TEST server.

Alphawolf01A

I think the problem it that the leads are appearing in the wrong places.

Cres

That's quite possible, my example above about the item found in Artaem and excavated in Eyevea. There is another fragment for that same item that is dug up in Artaem, so they could be swapped.

Alphawolf01A

I also think that since the Mythic items have 5 fragments with 5 leads, presumably in 5 different zones, they may be cross related, scavenger hunt style. Find a lead in 1 zone, leads to next zone and so on.

Mix

I have also taken that phrase to mean that antiquities are found in the zone where you would scry/excavate them, but either some are bugged or some can be found in other zones/multiple reward places.

Saucy_Jack

From what I can tell: in general, green/blue leads for a zone will for the most part, be found in that zone. Purple/gold leads can be for items in any zone though.

Ilsabet

Glenumbra:
Preserved Music Box Mechanism (gold) - safebox

Rivenspire:
Riven King's Throne (purple) - safebox

ChimpyChumpy

Real dumb question is this just on the pts or already in game? Oh and thanks for starting this.
