Obtained Antiquity Lead But Cant Find It?

Swordbreaker

I got a legendary (yellow) antiquity lead from a strongbox while stealing in Davon's Watch, but i cannot find it anywhere in my antiquities journal. I downloaded an addon to help me see all of my scryable leads but it doesnt even show up there. I have the skill level required to scry/excavate legendary leads, and i know i picked it up cuz i hit the button to take all items from the container, but it doesnt seem to appear anywhere.

If you go to Stonefalls you can see a list of the leads that drop there. Might help you find what you're looking for.

Leads also wont show up in the Scry window until you're in the Zone it's for.

Make sure you've laundered it.

They are not "stolen" to the point where "take all" won't work (for me, at least) if there's a lead with stolen loot

To the OP question - if this lead is a fragment of a mythic item or a mount that is not fully collected, but this particular part is, it won't show up

If you are on PC, there is an addon called "Display Leads" that is super helpful. You can get it to show you all the leads you have and the information about them, you don't have to go anywhere specific to view them. It'll also show you which ones you've done already, how many, etc.

If you are not on PC I'm sorry, I don't know how to help.

i know an easy solution. while in map menu. click on the antiquities submenu. now check into each zone on the map aurbis. lol
it should show you what is scryable for you. if not. then you must check the antiquities menu. and check each lead.

When you found a legendary lead as part of an antiquity like the Ebon Dwarven Wolf mount for instance, it will not show as a lead in your scryable items till you are actually in the zone where you can scry it. It will however show as a grey item as part of the antiquity it belongs to till you have excavated it.

A gold lead from a safebox could be one of the parts of the music box, check see if it is by hovering over the 3 boxes underneath the music box heading, one should have something in but greyed out, if it was.

By hovering over it you will get info on the zone to scry for it in 😀

I belive that's what it was, but i've gotten that part before. If i get a duplicate am i able to get it again?
But every time i look through the Antiquities menu it says i need to find a lead to get that part, so idk what it is

You can't get duplicates of things with multiple parts until you've completed it and recieved the item. If you have the lead for the wood panels for the music box but don't have the other two, you cannot get another lead for that specific part at the same time.

so they expire in 30 days and if you dont obtain the lead for every part of a mythic item, you lose all those leads????

Expired leads can be picked up again. Just leads expire, not any of the pieces you may have already excavated.

Actually, it was probably the purple lead for the Music Box... I think it is bugged, I went through ZOS CS with screenies and such... usually, if you have the part already, you can't get it again... that one part though, I got numerous times, but it never registered...

Lead: Aldmeri Golden Embelishments... the actual part, is found in Audiron...

Hope that helps,

I had a lead disappear when I went to loot it, it said it was no longer there. It was inside of a jewelry box, I forget the zone.

Got this issue with 3 leads. One was snow throne, one rivenspire throne and the third i don't remember which one it was. In case of rivenspire throne i don't have enough inventory space to loot safebox at once, but lead shown as looted and as i clean up more space and looted leftovers, lead was not in my lead journal. May be it.

Swordbreaker

UPDATE: I found it. I'm not sure why, but it just randomly appeared when i was searching for a blue-quality excavation site in Deshaan. I've been scrying/excavating in Deshaan for days and it just randomly appeared for me. I didnt add any skillpoints or level up in either the Scrying or Excavation skills either. I was just walking around, happened to check my journal, and suddenly it was there when it wasn't there just a minute or two earlier.

And FYI the item in question was the "Torc Strand of Power"

Display Leads is awesome, I got an lead on an alt while taking an keep, no idea for who zone as I was busy not dying.

Now looking at the list and seeing found 0 for an item and you know its an lead, the problem is that some items can be found multiple times.
