Lead for Wading kilt bugged?

ItMustBeThursday

I have been trying to get the lead from the Shadowfen alchemy nodes for 3 weeks now. I have spent dozens of hours in this place walking in circles farming these nodes and still have gotten no lead.

I am now convinced this item is bugged, there's no way the intent is for the players to be tortured in this way is there?

I think I got mine from a mushroom. If you're already carrying a load of leads you haven't scryed for yet, go clear those out and come back. I've found leads tend to drop if i'm not hoarding several already

Do the whole zone,cause others are farming too probably,so it can take a long time,like all rng based items.

Water and plant nodes in Sanguine's Demesne count too, if you're struggling to find them in the overland part of the zone.

I found the best place to be the waterway in the northwest corner of the map.

I have been engaged in conversation with people in Shadowfen for 4-5 hours now about the Tide-Glass Beads not working/dropping. Someone in zone mentioned making sure there were no other gold leads active. So I had the Nest of Shadows gold lead in Shadowfen, scryed it, then the next node(or two, I don't remember) I got the Tide-Glass Beads. A lot of others in Zone chat said the same thing happened for them and they were able to get the lead. Everyone said they had the Nest of Shadows lead, scryed it and they got the new one.

Not POSITIVE this is a bug, but it seems extremely coincidental that everyone that's been having bad RNG for 4 hours all gets the lead after scrying the same lead. Seems like it's worth testing out internally to confirm.

After testing this theory. I cleared the Nest of Shadows lead and all other gold leads. Spend about another 30 minutes farming water plants and did get the lead drop. Had spent atleast 5-6 hours prior. Not sure if it helped or not; but I got my Kilt!

It could be worse. I spent 14? 15? months of on and off farming, sometimes for hours, on EU.

I don't know if it was the advice here or just good luck, but after 3 weeks and countless hours, I went and cleared all the gold leads I had pending, went back to shadowfen and after 20 or so nodes I got the lead.

I honestly would've felt better knowing it was bugged, what a miserable grind!!

You should be grateful you weren't trying for it when that mythic was first added - there were people camped over every node in Shadowfen for at least a couple of weeks, if not more. After going to that zone for an antiquity, and seeing the mess, I was just REALLY glad I didn't want the darn mythic!

This does seem to help in many cases.
