    It would be great to have some clarification regarding the leads to antiquities.

    1. I understand that it is impossible to find the same lead that is already unlocked. Does the overall number of found leads (available leads that are not scried and not excavated) affect the chance to find any other lead?
    2. In the patch notes it is said that '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.' Does that mean that it is impossible to find the lead in other zone? Or does that mean that the chance to find the lead is higher in the related zone?
    3. Some leads (from merchants) require achivements. Do other leads require achievements to be found? If not, does having some achievement (or progress in the zone) affect the chance to find the lead? This is important to know, because a player should understand the reason of not finding something, is it impossible or just bad luck.

    Question?
    The new Ancestral Motifs won't be popping up as Master Writs will they?

    Lore Question:
    Editors over at UESP debate this but if you can clear this up it would be amazing. Is the katana depicted on the Shrine of Boethra antiquity intended to be the khajiit interpretation of the legendary artifact Goldbrand?

    Question 2:

    Is there any chance that artifact styles could be considered as antiquities? So far they have been limited to the Crown Store.

    Will more antiquities and treasures be added with future Chapters and DLCs? I’d love to get more ancestral motifs eventually.

    I can cover this one. I found a lead in Glenumbra for a part of the Aldmeri music box whose tooltip says it's found in Grahtwood.
