Music Box: Glyphic Secrets

Can someone please confirm if they got this music box for the second or/ and third time? I know that some leads were bugged for the second codex entry and didn't drop but got fixed according to patch notes. I didn't see anyone claiming to have gotten it for the second time though. I've been doing bsstion nymics since a week non-stop. I literally don't do anything else in game but spam +nymic in Apocryhpa and Telvanni Peninsula and run the bastion but still haven't got it for the second time. I just want to make sure that I just got unlucky. I don't want to waste my time if ZOS is just incompetent and can't even implement leads without them being buggy, plus putting them in the most ridicilous places.
Thanks in advance if someone can help, would really appreciate it.

Sincerely, an obsessed antiquarian

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's asking the community for assistance.

    Thank you for your understanding

    ive gotten several of the music box leads at least a 2nd time (i dont have all of them yet to work on a 3rd)

    for me, in my past experience, ive always usually had a lot more trouble getting a 2nd lead drop, like it was significantly lower than the first by a wide margin

    I have done more than 90 bastion runs by now but it still didn'nt drop. I have all of the leads a second time other than the bastion and tales of tribute one.

    The bastion lead is proving a problem for me for the first time. I have had all the other leads for weeks.

    Part of it is after the event it has become hard to get a group for BN at the time of night I play.

    Can someone please confirm the second dropping of bastion and tales of tribute lead? After 2 weeks of running bastions, by now more than 100 times, I am beginning to really question if it is bugged still/ again. I asked a lot of people and nobody had these 2 leads as a second drop.
    @ZOS_Kevin Can you maybe please look into this?

    So I asked another person who also tries to get all codex entries and they also said that they attempted to get the dark metal cubes lead, the one from the bastion nymic over 100 times like me and couldn't get it. I mean it might still be that we were both unlucky but I think it really needs looking into. Either it's bugged then fix it or it is exorbitantly rare for the second time which is ridicilous.
    Please fix this. @ZOS_GinaBruno

    Sorry for spamming but I created a discord server for antiquarians like me so that we can discuss stuff like this to avoid wasting our precious lifetime on bugged leads or to share strategies and so on.
    Please join or forward if interested.

    Having too many antiquarian leads active at any time and not scried and dug up, can have negative effects on lead drop chances.

    This is not a theory. It has been proven by many of my guild mates and lasses.

    How does it work? I don't know. You probably get bonus drop chance, if there are only green "treasure" leads active.

    If anyone here says: OH! But, PVP! I swear I'll ...

    Thank you for the valuable input and respectfully recommend to discuss that aspect of ESO on the PVP forum.

    that is 100% not true

    before they fixed the bug that made leads never expire if you had dug it up at least once before, i would sometimes have like 30+ antiquity leads sitting in queue because i didnt want to dig them up (already had the codex entries and didnt want the extra furnishings)

    still had no trouble getting leads i did actually want to dig up as long as they werent from treasure maps, and if i did dig up any of these non mythic ones i would still end up getting the lead back super fast (part of the reason why i stopped digging them up)

    its a lot harder for me to store that many leads now because they fixed the issue so all leads correctly expire again

    I got it once and won't try for more because I'm not willing to play 42 games of ToT again for one lead.

    42? You lucky dog, that's pure RNG luck that is!

    Thank you soooo much this information. I didn't know this and have always +15 leads that are not scried. I will dug them all out.
    But as far as I can tell still noone that can confirm a second drop of the bastion nymic. I just dropped the second lead from the ToT so it is not bugged but the bastion one still might be.
    Please write here if you hear somewehre if someone have dropped it for the second or third time.

    Hey everyone. I got confirmation from someone that it dropped for the second time. So it is not bugged.
