What’s your Harpooner’s Wading Kilt leads experience?

FinrodMacBeorn

Me / my wife
Blackwood - 1st try / 1st try (10 min for waiting)
Murkmire - 25 min / 30 min
Bal Foyen - 30 min / 5 min
Mazzatun - 2nd run / 13th run
Shadowfen - 13 h / 14 h
(shared suffering - phew! that she got it on the same day about 30 min after me for sake of marital peace)

Matthros

Blackwood - 1st try (was running around and the boss was already up)
Murkmire - One foul fishing hole
Bal Foyen - About 20 minutes
Mazzatun - 2nd run
Shadowfen - About 2 hours total

OneWingedAnge7

Shadowfen - 10 hours
Blackwood - 2nd WB
Murkmire - 4 fish
Bal Foyen - 1 pull of nasty men
Mazzatun - 4th run

Apart from the Lizardland node battles the rest were easy. Like super easy... Odd.

Brrrofski

Blackwood boss - first 2 or 3
Shadowfen - about 30 nodes, but I was just heading there in between stuff and spending 5 or so minutes running around
Bal foyen - 10 minutes
Murkmire - about 10 fish
Mazzarun - 12 runs and not had it

SammyKhajit

Khajit did none

Just want to commend you all amazing men/mer/smashed avocados for your tenacity!

MirandaSharp

I thought this would be a thread about how it performs in battle......

katorga

Shadowfen - 4hrs give or take
Mazzatun - 3rd run
Blackwood - 2nd world boss
Murkmire - 2nd cast
Bal Foyen - 1st kill

I rarely use it, stacks seem to come off too quick in group content, useless solo.

Gaze of Sithis, otoh, really useful solo...8K health regen lets you solo most anything.

Small tip for people farming in Shadowfen , it's better to farm water skins in public dungeon. There is like 5 spawn locations with fairly quick respawn time and public dungeon is instanced location with way smaller limit then Shadowfen map.

Where in that dungeon? I went in and didn't see a single water node, barely any water spots

@Texecutioner187, just to be sure, it's the public dungeon-- Sanguine's Demesne-- not the zone dungeon or DLC dungeon.

- When you first enter the PD and go N down the initial corridor to where you must turn either left or right, turn left (W) and there's a spawn point for a water skin in the corner where 3 Dremora are hassling an Argonian.
- Turn right (N) at that corner, go through the room with the ogrim boss (Shrom), go right (E) then left (N) through the zig-zag corners, and there's another water skin just before the entryway to the corridor that runs north.
- Turn left (N), go down that corridor to where you fight the 3 group event bosses (Fight-Master Grel, Grel's Resolve, and Grel's Retribution), turn right (E), leave that room, and there's a water skin immediately to the left behind the wooden panels.
- Either take a brief sidetrack to go into the next room and kill the 2 bosses there (Drel and The Bloody Judge) and exit again, or just thread your way S, E, and S to the room with stairways at the S end. On the raised platform between the two stairways, next to a chair is another water skin.
- Go S up the stairs, turn right (W), then left (S) at the T-shaped intersection, and there's another water skin right there beside a torch in that S corridor, with several Banekin by it.

If I knew a way to delete Antiquities, I would.

renne

Not going to lie I'm feeling p r e t t y triggered by seeing water skins elsewhere in the world these days.

Blackwood - third world boss
Murkmire - second fishing hole about 3 casts in
Bal Foyen - 100-150 soldiers (they respawn quick, no big)
Ruins- third run
Shadowfen - 12 hours

Nord_Raseri

I still haven't got the lead from mazzatun. Lost count a while back on how many times I've run that dungeon.

Everest_Lionheart

Fell asleep fishing in Murkmire. Woke up and realized I wasn’t fishing in foul water and got the lead on my first try in foul water!

Shadowfen I found a route with about half a dozen water skins with adds around each one. People seemed more interested in camping nodes those first few days and ignored water skins. I would like to salute those unsung heroes that cut my lead farming down to a paltry 4.5 hours.

Mazzatun one run, Bal foyen 15 minutes give or take was queued for a random and got it before queue popped. Blackwood 2-3 tries maybe. Had it on second day of Blackwood. Because of the sleeping in Murkmire incident!

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Shadowfen - Farmed 3 water hyacinth (5 minutes)
Blackwood - Killed world boss once (3 minutes)
Murkmire - Foul fishing (15 minutes)
Bal Foyen - about 2 covenant troops (1 minute)
Mazzatun - still need to run this one

So far less than 30 minutes. I'll run Mazzatun next week after the current event ends.

Thanks for this info! I mostly solo and just wanted to try the Kilt. I’ve been only going for the Shadowfen lead so far…I’ve spent maybe 30 min almost every day since the beginning and I still don’t have it. I was so happy when update 31 said that you can get it from any alchemy node not just water related ones, but I still haven’t had any luck. I think I’ll go after the Sithis ring instead now that I’ve read this - I’ve already gotten a few of those leads without even trying. When Lorkhan cried all those tears and put them in the little bottles I found floating in Shadowfen and in the little bags in Sanguine’s Demesne I think he was crying them for me while laughing 😂

Shadowfen.. Took probably 12 hrs of farming total. I went and farmed mats for an hour or so over about 2 weeks.
ROM.. Many many runs.. Lost. Count. I think my guildies hate me now.. Lol
The others were not bad at all.

REiiGN15

They are not nerfing Harpooner's, it's not the end all be all. Hell, in certain trials it's better to switch off of it because you'll lose stacks.

My experience was:
HOURS UPON HOURS of shadowfen
First try WB in Blackwood
Murkmire like 10 minutes of fishing
Bal Foyen like 1 hour.
Mazzatun 4 tries

From all the nightmares posted about Shadowfen, I was quite scared when farming leads yesterday. But here is my experience and data.

Shadowfen - Farmed 6 water hyacinth (40 minutes)
Blackwood - Killed ritual world boss twice (10 minutes)
Murkmire - Foul fishing, 2 separate sites (10 minutes)
Bal Foyen - about 20 covenant troops (10 minutes)
Mazzatun - normal run, got on first run (15 min)

All in all took about an hour and half for me to get the Kilt on NA-PS5.
What’re your numbers?

You're lucky, I've spent a couple hours a day for 3 days picking flowers along the river in Shadowfen before giving up. That's my kilt story. Welcome to my Vehk Talk.

LadyLethalla

I think I have the Blackwood one, haven't yet done Mazza, haven't had any luck in Shadowfen despite all alchemy nodes now apparently dropping that lead.
But then, I don't really care about it anyway except from a completionist POV. I doubt I'll ever use the thing.

Nord_Raseri

Funnily enough, 1 hour after posting today I did one more run of mazzatun. Duo with a friend. Finally got the lead after maybe 90ish dungeon runs.

BXR_Lonestar

Took me several days, but I got all the leads on first attempt except for the Shadowfen water nodes. But this was before they changed it to any node so...

Veinblood1965

No luck on the farming nodes in shadowfen. On a plus note I got each part of the Gaze of Sithilis on the first try for each lead, it was weird.

Soulshine

Had leads dug up and update bug nuked them, so not thrilled to say the least. Have to start all over.

TwinLamps

Didnt even bother with it, dont have time cause events and endaevours

Marillea

I waited long enough for the Shadowfen war to be over. The lead from RoM dropped on the first try, all the others took about 1h to get, combined.

Snaggel

Blackwood - First WB while doing dailies
Murkmire Fishing - A random mob appeared on a fishing hole. I joined. Lead on 2nd fish pull
Bal Foyen - took only a few minutes
Mazzatun - about 5 runs, not too bad

Shadowfen Water node war... let's just say that it took hundreds of nodes, actively riding through a zone, getting cussed at for weeks and sacrificing my sleep schedule only to find out a lot of people had the same idea as me and hunted the water nodes during night time. No time was safe from other players competition. Never. Again.
I ended my journey with about 500 Water Hyacinth and Nirnroot in my crafting bag without selling any off. I typically only keep 100 available at a time.

But the Kilt is good and I am glad I can just replicate it instead of having to go through that infested muck of a lead farm process again.

You were pretty lucky.


Blackwood - Dont remember which WB, think it was 3rd or 4th kill
Murkmire - Didnt take very long, probably my 4th or 5th fishing hole.
Bal Foyen - Found a small grind spot, Probably 25 minutes running in a circle.
Mazzatun - Normal Dungeon Finder, 1st run.
Shadowfen - Farmed the same plant for 18 hours

teabelly

Murkmire, 42 fish.12 gummy bags. no lead

I guess that's karma for getting the others pretty quick

UglyTriangle

Only took two runs in Mazzatun to get the lead from the final boss. Blackwood boss dropped the lead on the first kill. The Shadowfen lead took several hours. When I heard it was going to be easier to farm after the update I decided to wait. It makes a difference when there's plenty of nodes to harvest.

I have yet to fish in Murkmire or visit Bal Foyen for the other leads...

HertoginJanneke

I gave up after 2 weeks. I don't want to spent any more time farming in Shadowfen. Dropchance in FG for Viper Sting Bow is better.
