Where are we going to find enough LEADS for this event?

cyberjanet

Or are we supposed to go around doing the same old green freebies over and over? Anyone have any ideas?

If you want fast try cold harbour, the is a gold level one for some funky black crystals that seems to drop out of every third crafting node 🙂

I have a bunch of treasure maps to collect to get the last pages of Ancestral Motifs.

I'm also going through all the zones where I never dug up the green/blue/purple and do those as I level my alts to 7.

I imagine that most of the antiquities will be the green and blue freebies. Personally I plan to go and get some of the antiquity furnishings that I'm missing to fill out the new house.

Not sure whether they're just approximating or whether there is a set goal.


Theoretically speaking, if everyone went to Arteum and did the Green/Blue grind for a few hours we could hit the goal by next week.

I did a lot of leads generation over the past week, going for codex completion (including 3 of every mythic)
If Drodda and Captain Blackheart ever drop their leads...

I have a bunch of characters who still need to grind out their antiquity skills, so... green and blue freebies for me.

Ravensilver

Buy the green map leads from Innkeepers in every zone (except Western Skyrim). I haven't checked whether you can buy those more than once, but if yes, then that's what I'm going to do. Plus the freebies, which are nice, since they bring you a nice batch of gold for your efforts.

Can always camp out in a small zone and grind those green and blue leads like there is no tomorrow!!!

Speaking of that goal... its been a few hours and the tracker still says 0% progress??? I figured by now it should at least be at 1% or something... maybe it only updates ever so often?

Does it have to take place in western skyrim

Updated once a day in the past.

Does anyone know whether the difficulty of the antiquities weights them differently on the meter?

No. Gina answered this in another thread. Digging counts across all of Tamriel. And green counts the same as gold.

I don't know, but I would expect them to.

As Ravensilver suggested, the antique maps are a quick way and can be repurchased as soon as you dig them up.

@HorkerSlay3r the antiquities can be dug up in any zone.

No, Gina also clarified that all antiquities dug up have the same weight.

so a 'billion' greens or anything else for that matter, sounds like a plan

I did the Skyrim green and blue and farmed mats. Got lots of boxes and did my part for the free house

You can dig up all antiquities as many times as you can find the lead! The only exceptions are the purples that drop from blue leads, the Al-esh coin, body markings, and the mount (things you can't have multiples anyway),.

i know i still have half my purple 5k not scryed yet as i was keeping them if decide to progress alt seems like it is time

Honestly this one dug up an large statue who must be much heavier than an map or an ring

LadyLethalla

I hadn't ever done the Dwarven mount so I spent two nights getting all the leads except Volenfell & DS2, plus all the antique maps that I didn't have, which was most of them.

I plan on levelling the antiques skill lines as my part. Been putting off grinding them.

That's what I'm doing - 1 character on each of two accounts PC NA and EU.

Danikat

It wouldn't surprise me if they chose this as the community goal because relatively few people who own Greymoor have tried the antiquity system or spent much time on it.

I know a lot of people on the forum have already done every lead they could at least once, but people on forums tend to be the more hardcore players (even the 'casual' ones who don't do things like trials or PvP) who will complete things quickly. I'm sure there's lots of players who are either just starting out with it or looked at it a few times, decided it was confusing and went to do something else instead.

I swear they upped the drop rate on Ancestral leads. I dug up all my maps and nearly all of them has a lead this time.

SydneyGrey

Do the green and blue ones from each zone. It's the only way people will find enough leads to complete the event.
