Possible to collect same leads on several chars?

Is it possible to collect same leads, on several chars? Im thinking about lets say i farmed "face of the wolf beast" on my templar, can i again find it on another toon - at the same time - without finishing all leads and creating the legendary ring?

Good question.

I don't believe so - seems as if I've read that if you find a second lead for, for instance, the Lacquered Wooden Tone Box before you've completed the Symphonia, taking the lead nets you a message that the lead is no longer available.

Sylvermynx is correct.
Leads are account wide so if you're looking to pick up more than one of the same item it's important to do that lead right away because you won't get a second one to drop while you still have the first one active.

I assumed so for items who require multiple leads. Is this also true for other items like furniture of motifs?

Yes - because leads are account based. They show up in the UI for every character on the account....

ok. thats good to know. No points in grinding out more chars then, if a legendary item has to be completed before more of the same leads drop.

Thanks gang! You are the greatest!

@Mariusghost84 - the one thing I have discovered in the short time I've been doing antiquities is that if leads you're looking for (not dupes) aren't dropping, start looking on a different character. For some reason, a newbie digger seems to get leads for furnishings (both purple and gold) PDQ, whereas a level 10 digger never sees them.

Leads are account, not character...

I noticed this too. Maybe it's just me but my new character that I'm leveling up seems to get leads faster and more of them.
