    No it does even back when you could do 24 man guild zone clears for the newer members only the top 12 dps could get loot from WB. That being said I do believe they made it so with leads that as long as you get a hit on said boss you have a chance for a drop.

    Only top 12 could get the loot, but you could also have scenarios where other people outside of group would get drops and less than 12 in your group would get drops. It only takes into account the individual damage done against the boss.

    Healers and tanks don't need the mythic either. They can farm it later for collection if they don't want to use damage build now.

    ok since I cant sleep and i keep researching this...

    I tried to research some things.

    Igneous Inlays - High Isle - Volcanic Vent aka Dolmen - NEW CHAPTER ZONE
    Larimar Gems - Stormhaven - World Boss - DC ZONE
    Sacred Resin - Malabal Tor - Kill any monster - AD Zone
    Stone Shank Frame - Glenumbra - Ore Node - DC ZONE

    Petrified - Relating to Things in DEADLANDS /A tree FURNISHING / Petrification is makes you vulnerable to enemy attacks an ally must strike you to set you free in a particular dungeon.

    Oak - Sanded Oak or Rough Oak can be acquired in the second zone of each alliance and since DC has 2 leads and AD has one the trend will point towards AD's second zone for oak in Khenarthi's Roost or Grahtwood,. Or to throw a curve ball EP's 2nd zone Bleakrock isle or Deshaan.

    Loop - Design doesn't matter


    I'm betting its in Grahtwood or Deshaan Dungeon but from something that gives petrification and you need a group or companion. Saplings / Bosses made out of wood materials that have mechanics ?

    Grahtwood - Elden Hollow I & II or Lair of Maarselok
    Deshaan - Darkshade Caverns I & II

    Dolmens -CHECK
    WORLD BOSS - CHECK
    KILL any monster - CHECK
    Matching Node Farm Material - CHECK

    My guess - Would be in Lair of Maarselok ! You have Azure lurchers made out of wood the ads are spriggens.

    I mentioned in the other thread that maybe it is in Bangkorai. Spriggans, major port hub (like the other lead zones), spriggan world boss.

    Ok I may be wrong but they did confirm their main reasoning behind this Mythic was for accessibility, so I don't think then they would go put it in a DLC dungeon. I do agree the usual dungeon lead seems to be missing so I was thinking Volenfel as it is dessert and full of treasure hunters, that is where where one might find something petrified. Just a guess.
    "Accessibility" is a problem with this mythic if it is indeed true that only one World Boss in Stormhaven drops the lead, cuz it is camped 24/7 and one can just not out-dps a 12 man group as groups have "preferential" treatment when it comes to loot drops. Group is treated as "one" and you would have to deal more damage solo than the entire group (all players combined) in order to get loot drop. And if the group consists of 12 players, then only 12 players gets the loot - as there is a cap. I did consistent 30K dmg to this boss & no loot drop at all.

    Never had an issue getting a very camped boss lead solo, neither has my spouse who is a healer, so I seriously doubt what you said is true. Getting or not getting a drop, is more a matter of RNG than anything.

    It at least used to be a problem. It happened to me deep down in the center of the Imperial Sewers where for some spawns I'd get loot and for others I wouldn't because I wasn't in the top DPS that time.

    It shouldn't happen like that at all. Why even have the limit? What purpose does it serve? So nobody can just quickly tag a boss and claim the loot like they contributed?

    As for the thread topic, I'm surprised nobody knows where this lead drops? Was it not tested and found on PTS? I've never been on PTS so maybe it doesn't work that way?

    What do you think the odds are that the lead drop is bugged and thus not actually dropping?

    I accidentally pulled it from a safebox in Murkmire. The dig location is High Isle. Bounty gold would be nice but I'm on PC/NA.

    I believe the limit is in place to prevent bots from camping bosses and grinding loot.

    Is there a spriggan world boss anywhere that could have it? Perhaps the Ancient Spriggan in Elden Hollow?

    Good catch @K9002. Can confirms it drops from safeboxes in Murkmire. Got mine before it became Shadowfen 2.0.

    Go out to other swampy/jungle zones and see if those safeboxes drop it as well. Shadowfen and Blackwood would be a decent place to start as they both have miregaunts.

    Safeboxes? The owned grey chests found inside locked homes, banks, shops and guild buildings. If it's about the gold bounty, I just value open availability of information over the kind of gold I can make in a week of trading.

    There is a limit to how many people can get rewards from monsters (and it is 12) based on top contributions for damage and healing.

    So it is confirmed there is a limit,not just rng to getting drops from monsters.Been that way for years,just really only noticable during events,new content,lead drops,etc.

    So...safeboxes huh?

    You'll have a better chance at a safebox this fall lol. Every safebox will be camped to death.

    Think it was a really bad idea to add it to a safebox, unless it can drop elsewhere too.

    It's probably a result of ZOS looking at their spreadsheets.

    Dev A: "What's the least popular DLC zone and what can we do to funnel people in there?"
    Dev B: "Got to be Murkmire, matey."
    Dev C: "But we already added mythic leads to fishing, delve and world bosses over there."
    Dev A: "I know just the right place..."
