Lead not dropping in Archive

Prior to update 43 I finished all the leads for the Apocrypha Jewelry Crafting Station and dug all of them up. I then got all of them again, except the lead for the potbelly stove lead. After Update 43 I have gone though enough Archive to get ALL of the new armor sets as well as ALL of the new style pages. And the potbelly stove lead STILL HAS NOT DROPPED again. This CANNOT be RNG, this has to be a bug. There is no way someone could do this many Archive runs and not have that lead drop.

@ZOS_Kevin

I thought I had heard rumblings that others have had this happen to them as well.

    Sounds like a similar case to this.
    It seems like the first time you are going for a lead, it drops pretty quickly. The next drops (2+ in the codex) are much, much rarer for a lot of items.

    Unlike, say, the Void-Crystal Anomaly, which has an insane drop rate.

    It's demoralizing. I hate it. Weight the RNG, please!

    Apocrypha Jewelry Station released with U43. It didn't exist prior to U43.

    That being said, I've dug it up a couple of times.

    Only reawakening this thread to post confirmation that the lead is dropping. It's my 3rd time acquiring the lead and it dropped for me today from the Pilferer at Arc 2 Cycle 1 boss.

    It dropped, for 2 codex it dropped to me during last week (I don't know the exact day and exactly from what source) and today it dropped again for 3 codex (from Thoat chest, arc 1).
