    I hadn't realized there were any leads that could drop from BG.

    Needless to say, haven't found them yet.

    Mistakenly thought the whale thingie dropped from Mammoths, farmed them forever, eventually the lead for the Mammoth skull dropped.

    Still looking for the whale thing.....can't even recall the name of it now.

    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    As a PvEr, the lancers from the gladiator coffers from the cyro conquest board. Wouldn't be so bad if they could also drop from the more PvE-oriented quests (looking at you, scout board). But alas, my PvE butt has to somehow cap three keeps for a CHANCE at the lancers.

    Also, the BG one - which isn't SO bad, since you can come in second and still get the reward box. But I've done BGs every day since Greymoor dropped, and only gotten that lead once.

    I do not understand why you would need a lancer since lancers are pvp siege weapons and you say you are a pve player

    Hmmm. It seems that it may indeed come from more than one zone. The problem with these guides, of course, is that it takes time for all the possibilities to be exhaustively tested and verified. I've since seen at least one person say they got it in the Rift, another in Summerset and another in Western Skyrim.

    Just an fyi for everyone; I finished all codex entries this past Monday, July 20th....659/659 entries...and there is nothing special that happens....no reward, nothing. Just thought I'd share that information. Took me a total of 56 days (my rng for shock lancers was horrible; kept getting fire or frost)

    I'm going to give this guy a shoutout, because holy CRAP. ALL furniture codices, ALL mythic codices, ALL lancer codices (that means all furniture items, mythics and lancers dug up three times EACH!), ALL motifs, the wolf, all adornments - EVERYTHING!

    @ZOS_GinaBruno - somebody needs to give this guy a unique title!

    Same, the third part of the music box that's in safeboxes. I have opened over 300 safeboxes, mostly in Glenumbra and Greenshade but some in Summerset, some in Stonefalls, some in Malabal Tor. I got very excited once at getting a lead in a safebox but it was for something else which I thought was cruel af, what a tease. I'm getting very tired of this and will probably never open another safebox in my life after I find that bleepitybleeping part, but I collect music boxes, so...sigh.

    I want everyone to know that literally the next time I went to Bal Foyen after making this post, I picked up 6 Truth Altars. RNG is so mysterious.

    Can anyone verify receiving the Meridian Sconce lead from a source other than the final boss of Depths of Malatar?

    Sadly, no. I looked all over gold coast while killing minotaurs. That beautiful chandelier only drops from the final boss of Malatar. I’m happy to run a group through (PC/NA) on normal. Need 20k group DPS min, but higher is better.

    Ohhh....OOOOHHHHH

    okay, sorry for the dementia moment...this is exactly why I was looking at Mammoths in the Rift in the first place. Was watching hubby play, and that's where he got a lead for it - at the time I said "hey what's that, looks nifty?"

    Totally spaced that memory.

    Thank you!

    I guess I'll just have to go back to wandering the world and finding cool stuff rather than focusing and trying to grind, which is less fun for me anyways.

    Thanks for the reminder of what is really important here - having some fun.
