Frost Lancer Lead.

Thoriorz · May 4

Hi, the Lead for Frost Lancer has a chance to drop from Gladiator's Rucksack as a reward for completing Conquest Mission in Cyrodiil.

There are a total of 4 types of Conquest Missions:
Capture All 3 Towns.
Capture Any Nine Resources.
Capture Any Three Keeps.
Kill 150 Enemy Players.

I want to ask, is there anyone who has earned a Lead for Frost Lancer from Gladiator's Rucksack for completing one of these two specific quests: "Capture All 3 Towns" and "Capture Any Nine Resources" ?

I ask because from these Gladiator backpacks you can also get 2 more Leads, for Fire and Shock Lancer, I only do the above mentioned two quests and I got 3x Lead for Fire and 3x Lead for Shock Lancer but no single Lead for Frost Lancer.
I find it weird because it shouldn't depend on the type of quest you do (each quest type is rewarded with the same Gladiator's Rucksack) but having 3x Fire, 3x Shock and 0x Frost seems weird to me.
Of course it can be just RNG but it can also happen that each of these three Leads can drop only for completing a specific mission (which I hope is not the case...).

They drop from all quests.
I very often just do the 9 resources and got leads of all types of lancers. Excavated more than 100 of each type already. But they are for sure dropping from all quests.

Thank you very much.

I don’t think the lancer type is based on which of those conquest dailies you pick.

I absolutely never take the capture 3 towns. I don’t want to ride all over Cyrodiil to complete this one. I have started avoiding the capture nine resources too because I end up soloing too many of them. So it’s kill 150 players or capture 3 keeps for me.

Interesting that you mention this, I think I have fewer frost lancers in my characters inventory but it may be coincidence. I’m pretty sure I have dug up about 50-60 of each type. I’m not in the game to check right now.

EDIT: typo

Excavated:
102 Firelancer
121 Shocklancer
140 Frostlancer

As said, doing mostly 9 resources, but would say it's pretty random. I would even say frostlancer is dropping more often, because it's the weakest of all 3.

So it's good that it doesn't depend on the type of mission.
I'm not a pvp lover (I don't even have a special pvp build when i go to Cyrodiil), I only do 9 resources and 3 towns because it's easy to do as a solo and I do it when Cyrodiil is "empty" so usually doing these 2 missions is not a problem for me.
I'm only concerned about the codex entries for the Lancers and I just found it a bit strange that I have 3 and 3 but 0 Frost, luckily it looks like it's just RNG and I don't have to do any other missions type.
Thanks guys.

I'm having really low RNG with these. I get several Gladiator's Rucksacks per week and yet I have very few lancers. I make sure not to lose them when I get them and yet never seem to get one.

Does it matter if I open the rucksack in Cyrodiil or not and if so would it matter if I'm in my home campaign or local. Does it matter if I have any on me in inventory? Surely the answer is no to these but just trying to understand when I so rarely get them.

I don’t think it matters where you open them. I would dig up each lead as you get them just in case, I suppose if you had a frost lancer lead and opened another sack you would not get a lead for that type but possibly another (just a guess).

I PvP for a couple of hours daily but I don’t always get the daily done the same day, sometimes it takes 2-3 days if it’s the kill 150 players. I don’t get a lancer every sack and there are four types of lancers, so the drop rate for any lancer is going to be significantly less than 25%, as a guess I would say less than 10% for any, so probably around 2-3% for a particular one.

It doesn't matter where you take the mission/where you open the rucksack.
I've taken missions both in CP Cyro and also Non-CP Cyro and opened rucksacks outside of Cyro and I know for a fact that the Lead from the rucksacks was, so..

I think Lancer Leads from these rucksacks have a pretty good drop rate (at least for me it wasn't too much pain to put all types on 3/3 codex), I think it's much better than Leads from other daily coffers in the game.
