It should be easier to see which "pieces" are missing for Mythic Items

HumbleThaumaturge · April 2021

The very first time one pieces together a Mythic item, it is very easy to know which pieces have not been obtained: those pieces have a question mark (?) in the box.

After one obtains a Mythic items once (or twice, or a dozen times), the boxes no longer easily show which "pieces" are obtained and which are missing. The box icon does undergo a change, from sort of greyed-out (not obtained) to sort of lit up (obtained) . . . but for some of the Mythic items I can't distinguish between the two states. Maybe it's my failing eyesight, but I'd love to have a check or a text that indicates what "pieces" have or have not been obtained yet. The text in the description box for all pieces (both obtained and missing) say the same thing: "To Scry for this antiquity find a new lead." Perhaps if that text could be removed from "pieces" that have been obtained?

I'm looking through the Mythic item (1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4,5): some are actually easy to see what are missing from the icons, but some are not possible (for me anyway). A tiny check mark in the box for obtained pieces would be great.

I agree, it is difficult sometimes to see if a piece is obtained or not, and that they should remove the message for found pieces.

Adding the Scryable selection was a step in the right direction. But the UI for Antiquities is still pretty lackluster. I personally find the fact that all of the Green leads for every zone are all listed as Scryable all of the time. When I pull up that screen to identify Antiquities from zones I am not in that I can do, I have to sift through all of the Green zone leads to find the ones that actually matter.

The mythic item UI is HORRIBLE. They grey out the ones you don't have while filling in the color of the ones you do have. Seems fine on the surface, but then someone decided to include silver/grey items so you can't actually tell if you have them or not visually.

Something simple like a bright colored border around the collected pieces would be simple enough.

I think that is a very good idea, and it should be easy to implement (I presume).

So, one year later, and I still have no idea exactly what pieces of any mythic item I already have! Playing umpteen characters across two servers means I can't remember things like that anyway.

Almost two years later and the Mythic UI ingame still doesn't show which parts of the mythic item one has already and which ones not.

For example if I would be unable to pay the transmute cristals or just for fun I want to farm a mythic again, it just makes it very hard to see what I have already and what not.

In this particular case i wanted to have a look for the Oakensoul Ring if there are parts missing or if I farmed some in the past already, but no way to see unless I go and farm one piece again.

Since mythics are a set of one, you can reconstruct a second copy at the minimum cost in transmutes. Why hunt the pieces again?

If youre on PC then check out the addon Displayleads. It is a great way to view and sort through all the leads in game. It can show what you have , what you need, how many times youve dug it up and a ton more.

I dont think the system needs to be changed otherwise. Maybe adjust your color and brightness settings. I dont have an issue telling the difference between the ones that are greyed out vs not. Looks pretty clear on my display.

Id much rather have the ability to turn off leads Ive already found or at least delete them. I dislike having to sort through dozens of leads I have already done for the one I want. Leads drop so frequently and from so many sources I'm constantly getting new leads I don't need. Almost everything you get from a lead you might want duplicates of can be obtained from a different source once you have found the lead once. I dont need to do it again.

Probably for a completed codex entry? Or like me, have more than one account, and need one on each account both megaservers.

It would be a QoL benefit if a synopsis of each were presented as you hovered over them, clearly identifying what they were and whether you had found them.

I don't have a problem seeing the ones I have, but I'm none the wiser as to which they are, or which ones I still need.

i use 3rd party hardware to keep tabs of stuff I farm. I write things I miss on piece of paper and overstrike each thing from list when I get it. Its not perfect but easier than diving in gaem ui.
Obviously game should tell what I need to know but if devs do not want that I use google to find exactly what I do miss and where I should go looking for it.

Why addons when a simple change to the UI from ZOS themselves would fix the issue?

We just need to see how many pieces of the mythic we have already and which ones are missing by looking into the collections menu and the codex entries like 1/3 or something there and that's all that's needed.

A color border around the icons for antiquities with multiple fragments would be helpful-- red for not collected yet, green for already collected, and maybe yellow for not collected yet but already have the lead.

And a filter to hide all of the green antiquities that don't require leads would also be helpful.

I use Alqast's website for help with the leads. The in-game version is atrocious.
