Was this fixed already? I was just able to loot a lead for the music box again from the tales of tribute coffer

I could get a second Inkwood Box with no problem.
The leads that seem to be bugged second dig around for most folks are:
- Rune-Carved Key
- Dark Metal Cubes
- Dark Metal Mesh
- Darklight Gemstone
- Dark Metal Springs

They said next incremental patch, which should be this Monday according to the forum banners.

No, that wasn't one of the bugged leads.

There are multiple threads about this exact issue, but I've yet to see anyone from Zos just admit it's a bug. Which it obviously is btw because people from multiple platforms have reported this issue. It's a multi-platform bug, I'm on Xbox EU so don't even have access to add-ons. This is not an add-on issue.

Btw just to be clear, this isn't me moaning about lead drops and RNG. This is an actual issue. On the "Music Box, Glyphic Secrets" - I completed one full music box. Since then I've legitimately gained two leads (Intricate Winding Shaft and Inkwood Box). However when I select this antiquity in the antiquity menu, it's all over the place as to which fragments the game thinks I have etc. I know many other people are experiencing this too. Zos is always trying to get people to use systems like Antiquities - would be super great if they were actually worked properly. Thanks

I do hate it when people just chock it up to "rng." When I do 8 Apocrypha treasure maps and get all the well leads and then do over 60 and don't get it again and 100 more from TP and get nothing it's no longer rng. I would love to see ZoS acknowledge that leads at least from Necrom are bugged rn so I know when I can get these leads again. I love farming, I mean really enjoy it, but it needs a payoff.

Have you found a new lead from apocryphal well in the meantime?

After the hotfix I found all leads relatively quickly. To fill my codex I bought a bunch of treasure maps, meanwhile already 200+ treasure maps without a new lead (= 4/9) from the aporcphal well...

I will also chime in with my Apocryphal Well leads. I got all 3 of the leads within my first 4 maps. Extremely lucky for sure, but I was happy at the time. I've now gone through 120 additional maps for the new zones and not a whiff of a second copy of any of the well leads, which echos what others have been saying.

ZOS, please take a look at the Apocryphal Well to see if it is possible to find a second copy of any of the leads currently.

I've completed my first apocrypha well and had to use more than 100 maps -____-
You were simply crazy lucky the first time.

Patch Notes v9.1.4 from August 7th

"Fixed an issue that caused the Apocryphal Well furnishing Leads to be harder to acquire than intended."

I wasted 20 to 30 million gold on treasure maps because of a bug, that was once again communicated very late...

@ZOS_GinaBruno Any chance to get my gold back?

Are these leads still currently bugged? I'm asking because during this Telvanni event I've been farming the Cataloguer world boss for the Rune-Carved Key. I've killed and looted this boss probably 40-50 times during the event alone and I still have no lead to show for it?
Am I wasting my time with this farming and it's just not going to drop?

Also as a follow up question are all of these previously mentioned leads bugged?
- Rune-Carved Key
- Dark Metal Cubes
- Dark Metal Mesh
- Darklight Gemstone
- Dark Metal Springs

Yes, most of the leads are a pain to get. +150 Mages Guild dailies, +8 hours of farming some delves bosses like LightKeeper or Public Dungeons Group bosses like Bloodroot, etc... for 2nd lead yet. 1st one is always easier. It's not intended and should be fixed ><
Only leads still reasonnably dropping are Ancestral motifs leads, which is still RNG on top of RNG due to Treasure maps dropping randomly...

I am farming this for the second time and got the dark metal mesh but not the others. I have been in the bastion nymic for more than 50 times and still nothing but if one lead drops the second time. the others should also drop I guess and they patched it according to the patch notes so I'm unsure.

Looks like its still bugged . Trying too for 2nd box . Journal says 5/10 ,15/30. But only 1of the pictures is still greyed out . Killed that wrothgar delve boss over a 100 times. according to codex I dont have 2nd lead . But picture i n journal is not greyed out anymore. Same with bastion , cataloger and apogee lead. So I gave up on the 2nd box.
