Congratulations @TheNuminous1

RNG hates me...

I've not had such an easy time for most the things I try to farm for! Rng has not ever been a true friend to me. This is few and far between but such a massive stroke of good luck. Im sure you will get it all and im so sorry you have had to spend so much time farming. Its not fun I would have hated running elden hollow a bunch of times.

Congratulations, OP!

Nicely done! Awesome RNG.

I seemed to have to try no more than 5 times max for any of the mythic item leads in most cases just 2 or 3 times except for one case where Alcast had it listed incorrectly. I managed to get all the Mythic items by the way. I can say that some websites are incorrect. The lead for one of those in is Cyrodiil and all sites said it dropped off of one delve boss. I was picking up a skyshard while otw to that delve and got it off that boss instead. I believe leads are dropped from all types of the same mob in a zone not just one mob specifically. As later on after I got all the Mythic items leads started dropping again from other bosses and areas in the same zones.

The hardest part I was thinking was going to be finding the Sticky Integument Leather lead that is in a Psijic Portal but I got it on the second try. For those that want to know where it was just SW of the Sunhold wayshrine in Summerset. I started there and just looted all ores along the north side and worked my way back down the south side of that valley looting all the ore nodes. They respawn quick enough that eventually Psijic Portals spawn also. The two portals I found where BOTH just SW of the wayshrine at the same spot.

My first Wild Hunt ring went fairly fast, getting most of the leads on first or second try...EXCEPT Elden Hollow (which was about 7 tries. Second Wild Hunt ring took a little longer. Thrassian Stranglers leads went pretty fast as well. However, getting the leads for the Ebon Dwarf mount was a nightmare for a few of them!

First time I did that ring:
Eldenhollow:34 attempts
Public dungeon:5 bosses killed
Malabal tor:killed bos 27 times
Murkmire:killed boss 25 times
Greenshade:killed boss 36 times
Conclusion.... Rng hates me

I've had similar experiences with other leads. I don't understand why the lead doesn't show up guaranteed after at least a certain number of kills (I don't know how many, but certainly less than 36)

My first font of auri el lead took less than 2 hours and a few dozen bloodknights to get. My second took almost 5 days and around 700-800 bloodknights. I got my first beacon of tower zero on the second node I picked, the next one took three days, where I got at least a dozen kuta off idek how many nodes. Got my first statue of Boethra (sp?) from the first s. elsweyr dragon I killed since Greymoor released, thirty plus more dragons later, no second one yet. RNG is such a tease for me.

One reason might be that the developers actually want it to be this frustrating. Another reason is that it would take quite a lot of extra bookkeeping to know when any player has made a predetermined amount of attempts without getting a particular drop. The game would have to keep track of a lot of counters: one for each desirable item for each player. Given the apparent strain this game is already putting on the database backend, I would not bet on this being implemented in ESO.
