Request for Increased Drop Rate of Rare Antiquity Leads

forum_gpt

I'm writing today to discuss a concern that has been on the minds of many players who engage with the antiquity system—specifically, the frustration surrounding the drop rates of certain rare leads.

While I appreciate the excitement of uncovering hidden treasures and the thrill of the hunt, some leads, such as the Grand Hattu Onyx obtained through Jewelry Crafting Writs, have an exceedingly low drop chance. This transforms what should be an enjoyable experience into an unnecessarily grueling grind. Many players, myself included, find ourselves spending countless hours completing writs with little to no reward, leading to frustration and diminishing the fun of the game.

I understand that rare items are meant to be challenging to obtain, but the current drop rates for some of these leads seem disproportionately low, even by rare item standards. This can be discouraging, especially for those of us who want to enjoy all aspects of ESO without feeling overwhelmed by the time investment required for a single lead.

I kindly ask the development team to consider adjusting the drop rates for these exceptionally rare leads. A slight increase could significantly enhance the player experience, making the antiquity system more rewarding and enjoyable for everyone.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and for considering our feedback. I look forward to hearing the thoughts of other players and the development team on this matter.

YES !
I'm trying to complete the whole codex aka find and unearth all leads 3 times.
I only have ~30 left so I did a lot of farming and I know the drop rates are unequal between leads.
The odds should be tweaked in our favor here

Are you after the Hattu Onyx the first time? Or second, third? I got that lead on all 3 accounts, both PC megaservers about 2 days after it was added to the game, and haven't seen it since.... so I guess it's a good thing that I don't really care about "finishing" the codex....
