You are not wrong in being frustrated by what is ultimately a very poorly chosen lead source, but spending apparently almost 40 hours of your life over three days in front of a computer screen waiting to click on something in a game is not healthy. First, do you expect that once you get the mythic, your resulting increased fun will overcome the misery you had to endure to get it? Second, judging by past actions by ZOS, there is a good chance that the lead will be adjusted to be less onerous to get at some point in the future, although possibly long after most people who care about it have suffered through acquiring it. Third, there is always the chance that ZOS will nerf the item if it seems to be over-performing, after sales of the chapter slow down. Fourth, the next chapter will likely have a new mythic that overshadows this one, with another awful lead source, and the entire miserable process of farming it can begin again.

What I don't understand is why you're still playing for that item with all that frustration. It seems like an endless and mindless chore for some silly game trinket (I include real life hobbies and other fun things in the comparison). If I get very frustrated in this game due to some reason I just quit for some time. After a few months it will be easier to get your item when all the lemmings have done their run for it If you cannot change the ping, change how and when you play the game

This is just Shadowfen water nodes all over again. I happened to get that lead for the kilt completely by accident as I picked a water hyacinth after completing a dolmen, so I imagine I'll similarly eventually get the Murkmire safebox lead for...whatever everyone is looking for. Some ridiculously OP mythic that will likely be nerfed in the next patch I guess? Good luck to you, OP.

Bind interact to mouse wheel up and mouse wheel down, and just move your mouse wheel while watching youtube or something until you hear the lockpick sound. I did this and it only took me about 1 hour to get it (would've been faster if the the respawn time wasn't so bad). Out of 7 boxes that spawned, I was the first to loot them all

This is exactly how I got it as well. Mouse wheel basically guarantees you will get the box.
