Artaeum Pickled Fish Bowl... But for Mythic Leads

El_Borracho · December 2022

As I fought and killed the Serpent Bog world boss for at least the 50th time without a lead dropping, I wondered why the devs have not done this. It works great for fishing, which is also RNG based, so why can't we have this for mythic leads? Dungeon boss leads, world boss leads, and the dreaded Dragonstar Arena lead would be instantly improved.

If I'm not mistaken isn't one of the thrassian strangler mythic leads provided by fishing in artaeum just like the pickled fish bowl?

He's asking for a potion/food that increases the chances of finding antiquity leads, like the Artaeum Pickled Fish Bowl increases the chance to land rare fish.

Which is a great idea.

Ah, I misunderstood, nevermind.

Or they could just increase the drop rate on leads instead of having them be such a pain.

I'm for anything that cuts down on the time it takes to get some of these leads. I get the devs want us to play the game to earn the gear, be it mythics, monster gear, or trial gear. And I am more than okay with that, as I believe that is the proper way to get gear.

But tying a lead to ridiculous RNG on a world or dungeon boss has the opposite effect of burning out content. Dragonstar Arena without the chance of even one group member getting a lead? Forget it. And treasure map leads? LOL. Nope.

Please no. If the drop rate is so poor dev action is needed then better use of resources would be to just change the culprit numbers.
