Where do I start been chasing all mystics linked to the necrom achievement and I have now only got
Esoteric Environment Greaves left to find....ohhh the absolute agony of getting this lead and putting
Thras-Crafted Breeches behind the last boss secret boss ran it with a friend so far 4 times they got the drop guess my rng God was not on my side.
Decided to select random queue ran it another 7 times only problem no one wanted to do secret bosses dispite begging on xbox chat which in itself is hard to do and once you have killed last boss thre secret boss won't come up plus everyone leaves which won't give you time to go solo the secret bosses regardless its impossible
Please for the love of the devines please consider
Either placing the lead drop on last boss or allow players to continue in instance to finish secret bosses please
And while I'm asking a pre written msg you can save on xbox chat to select as quick chat would be very helpful

    best is to ask in zone chat for 3 more ppl who want the lead and go with a pre made group

    I had to do Coral Aerie 21 times to get the lead to drop. For the sake of clarity on how absurd this is, that is 147 total bosses killed in search of a single lead, counting the bosses that can not drop the lead. I had similar luck with the lead off the final boss in Spindleclutch 2 for the Shapeshifter's Chain, and bad (but not as bad) a string of luck with the Gaze of Sithis lead in its respective dungeon.

    Dungeon leads need a severe handicap applied every time they don't drop. Start at a 50% chance and bump up that chance by 10-20% every time they fail to drop until it's guaranteed.

    I was not enjoying myself. I began to wonder if the lead actually dropped out of there or if I'd misread or just wasn't seeing it and already had it. I can't imagine anyone else sees the prospect of running a dungeon 20+ times in a row as enjoyable.

    that is some really bad luck lol

    i think it took me 6 runs to get that lead, a few of my friends who helped me run it got the lead in less runs than that

    I've joked that the best way to get the lead is to help me farm it. Literally every person that's run with me in search of dungeon leads has managed to get it on our first clear.

    I know the feeling.

    Dov-Rha Sabatons Dov-rha Sabaton Heel (Sun Spire Trial) I get this then I got all Mythic Antiquities completed.

    Ebon Dwarven Wolf Mount Dwarven Horngrip (Darkshade Caverns 2 Dungeon-Engine Guardian Boss)

    I ran DC II many times when it was a pledge at least 7 times total times at least 10 or more so far. No drop for lead.
    I ran vSS or nSS at least 6 times in 30 days no drop for lead. I can do the Season of the Dragon Celebration Event which many run Sunspire and hopefully just maybe I get the Mythic Antiquities done for now I wait in Craglorn and beg for a run in my Guilds.

    This is ridiculous that we got to spam something so many times without end. We do have other things to do in game but drop rates make the game almost impossible in some cases. So how many times for the above leads did any of you have to spam Sunspire or Darkshade Caverns?

    for me i think sunspire was maybe 4-6 runs

    i dont even remember how many for the lead in darkshade for the wolf, but i know it was less than 6 runs

    majority of my first time lead drops seem to happen in 10 or less attempts (sometimes as quick as 1 attempt, thats how i got the one kilt lead in shadowfen, i harvested something on my way to a completely different task and got the lead)

    i think statistically speaking the worst lead for me was the moras whispers lead from watchlings, i did have to kill several hundred of those to get the drop

    Do watchlings in Apocrypha drop this lead now? Do watchers in Apocrypha or during Herald Seeker or anywhere else work for the other lead?

    i dont know, i havent gotten a 2nd copy of the watchling lead yet, but i think they are still more abundant in the atoll of immolation

    i would assume that watchers spawned during a boss fight such as the prime cataloger do not drop them, since add spawns from a boss usually contain no drops
