Deadland Leads not dropping?

Hi all, I am a completionist trying to collect all codices for the antiquity system. But I have been having with some of the Deadland leads, namely Clannfear Leather Strapping, Void alloy Rivets, and Searing Gem. These drop from clannfear, daedra, and daedrats respectively. I was able to collect my 1st and/or second leads from these very quickly, within the first few days of just casual questing. But in my attempts to get these leads again for the extra codices, I have yet to see anything drop. I have been specifically farming these leads for weeks, killing hundreds of mods that should drop the leads, but nothing.
I have double a triple checked that I had completed the set before starting the next, these leads just won't drop. I understand that some leads are rarer than others, but I am at the point that I suspect there may be a bug with the leads, either in general or when some codes are already filled in. As anyone else either had similar issues with these leads or other ones? Has anyone had recent success with these leads where I have not? Is it a bug or am I consistently beating the odds every time I kill a mob?

✭✭✭✭✭There is a possibility that the drop rates are not completely static for some leads. There is a theory that 2nd and 3rd drops on some leads might have a lower drop chance by design. This is just a theory and is somewhat difficult to test, but just throwing it out there. I've done some personal testing on lead drop chances for 2nd and 3rd copies that does seem to match the theory, but it's far from conclusive.0 -

I have also noticed this, but never to this extent. And I have only completed my first set for the Markyn Ring, if it takes weeks and weeks for the second, what will the 3rd be like? It's aggravating, to say the least.0 -

Somewhere from a couple minutes to like two hours in most cases. For that lead from Deadland daily reward coffers i actually had to do like 70 quests, my longest farm for a lead yet.I'm but a sarcastic beef jerky. Irony and cynicism are my parents. You've been warned.0 -

Do mythics like that have the ability to be filled 3 times? I'm unsure how that works.______________________________________________________

That is along the line of what it took for my first drop, but I've been sinking about 30 minutes to 1 hour a day killing daedrats for the last 3 weeks while I also hunt the daily quest leads.
As more just generic Daedra in any zone? That is one of if not the most common enemy type in the game, and I haven't seen my 3rd drop in the 2/3 months from when I finished my second set of Spaulder.0 -

✭✭I've had all of them drop with the Clannfear Leather Strapping and Void alloy Rivets dropping for me a couple of days ago as I try to fill out my Deadlands antiquities.
Edit: I seem to recall having to kill more deadrats than I could count to get the Searing Gem.Edited by Alinhbo_Tyaka on July 10, 2022 10:04PM0 -
ZOS_HadeostrymodGreetings,
After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.
Thank you for your understanding0
