Not the most amazing lead, but shows that Favors are dropping leads for other zones than where the Favor quest is given.

I think it's based on alliance:

- Auridon favors can have you do something in any Aldmeri Dominion zone, and can drop leads from any AD zone.
- Glenumbra favors can have you do something in any Daggerfall Covenant zone, and can drop leads from any DC zone.
- Stonefalls favors can have you do something in any Ebonheart Pact zone, and can drop leads from any EP zone.

I'm not sure about the gear, since I think sometimes it can be trial or arena gear-- unless I got those from dynamic encounters. I tend to do the favors and dynamic encounters together, so I might be mixing up which gear came from which activity.

Yes definitely, it can be seen easily with all the ancestral leads, auridon gets you the high elf ones, ebonheart gives nord and orc for the third one.

It's too bad the Favors reportedly just stop after completing the 20th one. I don't need to keep getting new correspondence for completing a Favor, but being able to repeat the cycle of 20 Favors so we can continue collecting rewards would've been nice.

You can do that already with alts. I think it's good that they have an end or that would make too many daily tasks becoming a lengthy chore as more favors are added. They're a good slowburn goal to level your alts if you can't be bothered to powerlevel them as well.

The rare leads and key incentive would make it harder to skip doing if it was endless.

i would say 95% of my drops from these boxes have been basically garbage lol

every once in awhile ill get a lead i was still missing a codex for, but most of them have basically straight up junk

i also hate these kind of quests too which are by definition the most boring of fetch quests, theres no substance to them

Today I got Torc Tonal Focus again lol.

I got Ebony Fox Totem. I think we've got a pretty clear idea of the range of leads we can find overall. I'll be reaching the end of the favors on my alt in the coming week so prob won't bother posting more about it.

There will be more "Givers of Favors" later, in late seasons/updates.
I'm done with these (except the bugged 20th one) on my main, and while I've thought about doing it on an alt, I'm not going to, unless the nowhere key drops are really atrocious, making getting to the 10th and 20th quests worth the grind.
Crossing my fingers that won't be the case. I got Murkmire Prepper back before it was shortened, quests like these are simply chores, not worth repeating unless the reward is really, really worth it.

I like having another source for antiquity leads, so I do wish these Favors could continue past the NPC's story. A few days ago, I got one of the leads for the Blessings of Stone music box, the one that normally drops from a WB in Rivenspire, that was good to see.

If only we could do some Favors for characters in West Weald or Apocrypha lol
