Has anyone found the lead for a chapter from digging up Antiquities? I see the patch notes (and the in-game achievement) have the source as from digging up Antiquities in the Reach, but I saw that Inklings spreadsheet changed source to The Reach Treasure Maps. Is it dropping only from Treasure Maps or from both sources?

    The Ancestral motifs leads drops from treasure map chests.
    So first get an tressure map, find and dig up chest, then perhaps get an lead, then dig that up and you get your motif page
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    So despite the notes saying "The Ancestral Reach Motif can be found occasionally by digging for Antiquities in The Reach." the leads ONLY come from Treasure Maps? The in-game achievement also implies the leads are found occasionally when digging for Antiquities in the Reach.

    Only talking about the Ancestral Reach motif. The other ones are definitely from Treasure Map chests only. Although, just checked the achievements for those and they have the same "occasionally found while digging for antiquities" which is not actually helpful in locating.

    To me that note means the lead comes from digging for other antiquities...

    I have completed close to 20 dig sites doing Antiquities and only had one Treasure Map for The Reach with no luck finding any Ancestral Reach motif leads. As the achievements states "digging for Antiquities in the Reach" I thought there was be a chance. Really is abysmal activity with no fruits from all the effort and not very fun at all. Please improve the drop rates ZoS.

    Treasure Chests or Treasure Map Chests?

    There is another post about this and those people have only been getting the leads from the Skyrim Treasure maps and the Blackreach Treasure maps so far. Then they go dig up the ancestral reach motif page in the new area.

    They are also supposed to drop from the new treasure maps as well, but people have only gotten them from the Skyrim Treasure maps and the Blackreach Greymoor caverns Treasure maps so far.



    Edit: I said "dig up lead" but I meant "dig up motif"

    See another thread on the same topic: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/551189/drop-chance-for-ancestral-reach-motif

    It seems to be bugged, at least if it was intended to be diggy hole bonus loot. I found all of one lead in all of my Western Skyrim/Greymoor Cavern treasure maps, and now that that seems to be the only place, you can't get them from guild traders anymore.

    Would be nice to get an official answer on this.
