Did someone get Crimson Diamond lead or Stainless Imperial band lead last month?

RichardSeeker

I have been trying to get Crimson Diamond (Falkreath Hold chests) and Stainless Imperial band (Black Drake Villa trash mobs) for quite a long time. I gathered all leads for Belharza Band before, so this is my second time getting all of them (want to have all codex entries) and it takes much longer than the first time. I start to think that it bugged again, as it happened earlier. So, a couple of questions:
1. Can someone please confirm that you or someone in your group got it on PC/EU last month?
2. Did someone get one of these leads last month, but it was your second or third time getting it? Have found in patch notes that there were situations when lead was obtainable the first time but was not after that.

Still, the same situation after 2 weeks, even though I did multiple runs for both of them

I was going to say yes, but it was PS EU not PC

Anyway, I am so glad to hear that it at least works on another platform. Can you please specify which lead did you successfully get? Or was it both?

it took awhile to get both of these for the first time, and with the general anecdotal trend that many 2nd time lead drops are significantly rarer than the first doesnt help lol

The one in Falkreath Hold. I was helping someone else get it. I got it on about my 10th run, 2 guildies who also helped (at different times) got it on their first. The person we were helping got it after about 80 runs

I've been running a lot of BDV to fill out my sticker book - except kinda dagger/inferno, more to gear guildies than to sell runs - and I run loot log so I see everyone's drops; have seen the lead drop quite a few times, must just be bad rng for you... I was helping a guildie farm a kilt lead in ruins of mazz, he was 25 runs deep and hadn't gotten it, I got it on the second run... Went and farmed the rest and got my kilt, he still didn't have the lead, did a few more runs with him and I get a second lead, still no luck for him... Think he ended up at about 40 runs before he finally got it.

Yeah, have heard about this too. It is not confirmed by developers afaik, but have experienced something similar with other leads.

Yeah, I filled my stickerbook for both BDV and FH much earlier than I got my first lead from them. As for RoM, I have much better rng there: still have not filled my stickerbook, but got the lead at least twice from there already.

By the way, I have successfully got the lead from BDV after quite a lot of runs. So happy Hopefully, soon will get the lead from FH too *fingers crossed*.
Have to say, that both times when I got the lead from BDV, I got it from the last pull of mobs. So, I have a theory that perhaps BDV lead drops not from any trash mob there, but from "big fire guys" which are only in this last pull, and it might be hard to get the lead because this pull is skipped very often (still just a theory and I do not know for sure which mob was that because I have "autoloot all nearby enemies" option enabled).

I got my first Crimson Diamond lead earlier today after two runs of Falkreath. PC-NA if it matters.
