20 hour cool down for "Shadowy Supplier" is too long.

Togal · June 2021

I've been grinding dark brotherhood on all my chars and still have yet to get the lead "Preserved Wraxu Feathers". If possible it would be nice to change it or at least make it so you get it definitely instead of basing it of RNG.

This is to get the Gaze of Sithis mythic

olsborg · June 2021

Yes I agree so much!

No, there needs to be serious incentives for people to log on every day. If everyone got everything on day 1 then there would be far less people online daily. Some things need a be difficult to get, like the Medusa staffs.

Daily crafting writs
Daily random normal
Daily undaunted pledges
Daily zone quests
Daily guild quests
Daily battlegrounds

There's enough stuff to keep people logged in. This is just a terrible design choice, one of the worst I've seen in years too.

The same can be said for buffing newbs so they can catch up to nerfed vets.

I am not feeling much accomplishment grinding out vet levels when newbs miss half the point of the game and catch up to doing the same stuff I had to work hard to achieve.

It just makes the game feel cheap, and not unlike newbs being able to buy lvl 810 in the crown store because they're too busy to play.

Nice, you're lvl 810.
What do you know about playing the game?
One more reason I don't want to PUG with unknowns.
They rarely hold up their end in a really hard fight, and then it's just carrying players through.

yay, we're all equal, but half the newbs don't know what to do or why, because they didn't learn on the way up.

I guess that makes me evil and selfish.

olsborg · June 2021

Still didnt get this lead today, so I have to wait for tomorrow then. Great. Has anyone actually gotten this lead from this npc?

Lady_Galadhiel · June 2021

I have only one character with DB unlocked,mine will take forever to drop.

Djennku · June 2021

I got mine first try. Not sure the RNG on it dropping though. Are you asking for equipment?

Yes the bottom option, "do you have any equipment today?" or something like that, I just keep getting sithis set items.

It might take a few tries then. The lead will drop with the Sithis item you get.

ApoAlaia · June 2021

I've unlocked the passive in most of my characters now.

Is only one skill point and I already had most of them on lvl 7 at least for the Shadow Rider passive anyway.

I thought I actually had it leveled to 10 in all of them, turns out 2 of them do not even have it unlocked. It would seem that I have been lying to myself quite convincingly.

Anyway got the lead last night on my 11th one. Got a couple of furniture pieces I didn't know I wanted too.

Definitely more productive than my average lead 'hunt'.

Canperial35 · June 2021

I believe the cooldown is just fine, most of the people weren't even aware of that npc before she became the source of a lead. Despite I too am still trying to get the lead with 3 characters, the cooldown shouldn't be changed just to make things easier.

Making something a rare, random drop where you have no influence on and you only have to let time pass by is not "difficult". It's boring and tedious.

PrinceDamien · June 2021

It has always been 20 hours and I didn't see people complain before.
It's a nice thought of making it a guaranteed drop. But there's a loot table which still have items it needs to be able to give out.
And without a trigger, like a quest or something, the game wouldn't know that we are specifically looking for just that one item.
I understand the frustration people are facing. I too am gated behind the Supplier right now.
But hey, it's always been 20h and always been a random loot table.
Just gotta be patient and simp to Lady Luck and hope she's merciful.

Same, got it on first try too.
Has done the DB on many alts for the skill points and the riding passive.

Also got mine first attempt. For what its worth the character was maxed out in DB - unsure if that affects things, but thought I was a bit too lucky with the RNG to get it first shot.

I'm max and haven't gotten it so far on 2 alts.
So I can confirm that being max rank doesn't make any difference.

relentless_turnip · June 2021

I didn't get it until the fourth attempt. I had been attempting to get it from the dark brotherhood hideout in gold coast. The fourth attempt was in vvardenfell outlaws refuse, this one was successful. I agree it is totally stupid...

AlnilamE · June 2021

I got it on the first attempt. I didn't know the lead existed.

I started hitting the Shadowy supplier daily when the sticker book came out, and the habit sort of stuck, since I still have to do heists for the other sets.
