Pale order ring - bad man’s hollow

I’ve been in bad man’s hollow for over five hours now and the lead for the pale order ring hasn’t dropped. I have no other in progress leads. I’ve seen some folks have it dropped super quick. Anyone else having issues?

    I have heard it dropped almost immediately for some; others said they spent 6 hours. I have been in there a few times - maybe about an hour total... and so far haven’t got it. Seems like pretty standard RNG luck, so far.

    Edit: ended up being about 3-3.5hrs for me to get the drop

    Took me about a half hour in there. Dropped from a skeleton finally. I went in with a friend after and she got it in about 15 minutes from a beetle.
    She got all 5 leads in a hour actually. Her luck was crazy, second chest she opened, first spawn of Delve Boss, first Wrothgar Boss.

    I've been in there for multiple hours on each of the last three days and it hasn't dropped for me yet.
    When I DO get it, I'm never setting foot in that dungeon again.

      I probably spent 5-6 hours over the course of a few days till it finally dropped, but other people I know got it within 20 minutes...

      Ugh... That one was the worst. I spent about 11 hours there in total for that lead before it finally dropped.

      I guess that's because it came too easy for me on the other leads. The delve boss dropped it on my 5th try. The Wrothgar WB on the 2cd try The 3rd chest I found (in a matter of about 20 minutes of searching) gave me a lead.

      But Bad Mans Hallows was awful. Very few things to kill and when you do kill something it drops nothing. Not even a few gold or a white trash item.

      I finally got lazy about it, and just stayed at the very beginning (facing the 2 tunnels that enter the area). The mobs there spawn very quickly and I just let the others run around inside the dungeon either finding nothing or trying to get a single hit on a shalk before someone else kills it.

      If you just stay in front facing the 2 tunnels, theres 3 deranged whatever things that spawn on the left. Kill them, then go to tunnel on right. There will be 3 more deranged whatevers there at the entrance.Then just a little further in, a skeleton. Just a few steps more are 2 more deranged whatevers and in a side tunnel on left is a single skeever you can pull into the fight with these 2.

      Then you go back to beginning, rinse and repeat (if original 3 arent up yet they will be within seconds).

      Oh and not so quick spawning (like every 4 loops or so) will be 4 or 5 skeevers on your right.

      I started doing this the last 3 hours I was there and finally it was the original 3 deranged whatevers that dropped the lead.

      Ill tell you, unless ZOS decides to put yet another new lead in there for a golden 'total godmode win the entire game' ring, nothing short of that will ever get me to step one foot into that hell-pit again :s

      I wish you the best of luck, hope its much better than mine...

      I got a lead there only to dig it up and realize it was for the Ring of the Wild Hunt!!! Went back in there for an hour before getting the lead for the ring I wanted. It is a painful grind to be sure.

      Yeah, I had bad luck with Bad Mans Hallow. It took me about 5 or 6 hours. Alik'r I got it on the first boss kill. Bangkorai the first chest. Wrothgar the second boss. But Bad Mans it was a nightmare. Finally dropped on one of the trash mobs.

      Hopefully you get it soon!

      I grinded for a while and when I got bored went to do other things. Didn't keep time but it dropped from a skeever on 3rd bout. I too got a lead and dug it up before noticing it was for Wild Hunt ring.

      I did all bosses in Wrothgar and then some more before it dropped. Bangorai one I got from a chest in the whatwasthename public dungeon. There is a large room which I believe is only accessible when doing the quest, I think I found most chests and the lead there.

      Dropped after 20 minutes something for me on the shock beetle boss.
      I has had luck on the harder ones, group dungeons, world bosses worst was 6-7 times in darkshade 2.
      Delves tended to take much longer, the worst was an craglorn group delve where it was hard to find an safe spot.
      And overland has been worse of all, finally got the lead from chests in Bangalori, now I only miss the music box mechanism from safeboxes.
      Grinding just make you go in circles.
      Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

      5 hours ?!?

      I spent there 5 days (2-3 hours daily)
      This is the biggest waste of my time in my freaking Life.

      I just got it a few minutes ago, after about an hour of my fourth day farming for it.
      (7-8 hours total)

        I found it easiest to group with everyone in there and just run a circuit, I got mine in maybe 20minutes max off a skeleton someone else killed

        It took me several days too, with probably an hour or so each day of playtime. When a lead drops, the game should burst into a stirring Tamrielic arrangement of The Hallelujah Chorus sang by a choir of Ehlnofey that suddenly spring up from the ground while being bathed in the light of the Aedra. The only mythic lead worse that this one so far has been the fishing one 🤪

        I was in there for nearly 7 and a half hours before it dropped for me. Keep the faith, you'll get it just as you are about to give up.

        The trick is, spend an hour looking for it. If it doesn't drop, leave, and do something else and come back. I did this with some pieces and it dropped.

        Took many hours, was definitely the one piece that took the longest. However, I did manage to find all the pieces in one day so the rng worked out as other pieces dropped very quickly.

        Look at today´s date...

        Oooooooohhhhhh B)

        No seriously, RNG is horrible. I don´t even do antiquities at the moment and of course, leads drop like flies.

        That's actually how I ended up doing it, over a four-day period.
        Two or three hours at a time is all I can stand of people constantly swooping in to snipe my kills.
        I was glad this morning when I was finally able to Nope-Out of there.

          The first time a Snake dropped it within an hour and from then on became the Lucky Snake.

          The second time Lucky Snake did not deliver, but instead a group of skeevers dropped it within around 90 minutes.

          Anyway .. RNG

          Took a few hours, got it eventually. It's a fun place to run around and with bonuses from this exploration event it was good for gold.
