Maintenance for the week of December 23:
· [COMPLETE] NA megaservers for maintenance – December 23, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 9:00AM EST (14:00 UTC)
· [COMPLETE] EU megaservers for maintenance – December 23, 9:00 UTC (4:00AM EST) - 14:00 UTC (9:00AM EST)

Which is easier for getting the lead in Glenumbra?

Camping a spawn point of an outcrop or running around the map?

Are Mine drops shared between everyone or are they different per person like World boss drops are?

    If you are talking about the Oakensoul one and it's your first time, it shouldn't take much time but yeah, it's probably the more tedious one.
    I used to run almost all the region mining each spot.
    First time is the fastest, subsequent ones take longer. I think in Max around 1 hour of farming you should get it this time, not standing in one spot... (Speaking from my experience only)

    Edit: to your second question I can't answer, unfortunately.

    Yes it’s my first time looking for it and I’ve been done 120 ores over 2 days and still no drop

    I had varying luck (I needed six because I have three accounts and play on both PC megaservers). The first one, on my oldest account PC NA, I got out of the first node I mined - it was near the alchemy survey in the Wyrd Tree area. The second one on PC NA and first one on PC EU took me a few nodes each - and I don't really remember where I got them. The second one on PC EU took me the longest - I spent IIRC about a week finishing up my playing day in Glenumbra finding ore nodes.

    My third account is much younger than the other two - and the Glenumbra lead took a couple of days each, running from node to node. The worst lead for me on both of those was the crab boss one. Ick.

    That's strange. If you are 100% sure you didn't already get it without seeing it, keep running those rocky hills. I know it can be boring but it is worth doing for that Mythic.

    Literally all I’m getting from ores is the ore and platinum dust. Do you have any suggested areas to look around or just generally the whole map?

    You should double check the leads you have available to dig, just in case you got it and didn't realize it.

    Well, that's not so good - because if you already had it you could just get on with digging it. You might want to take a day off and go get the last one then go back to mining ore nodes?

    I mean I get RNG is a thing but everyone and their mother has oakensoul at this point so it should not be this difficult for a lead to drop

    True. But literally the only lead I had any trouble with was from the stupid crab boss. I don't need any more rings.... so I can't help you at all. The ore nodes didn't cause me much issue. I guess.... good luck in future?

    I don't have Oakensoul yet. I have a grand total of 4 mythics on one server and 2 mythics on the other server, and I didn't get any of them on purpose; they just happened while I was playing the game. So far the only mythic of those I've found which has any usefulness to me is the Ring of the Wild Hunt, and I find it to be too annoying to wear all the time so I only put it on when I'm dabbling in PvP.
    I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!

    Tbh I only want this mythic for pvp…. basically so I can spam my ult bc of the sets I’m running with the ring

    My experiences in Shadowfen with the water plants and pure water lead that had everyone fighting over spawn points back at Blackwood's launch suggest that the best strategy is to find a reasonably small area that's easy to monitor where there is an unusual concentration of the type of nodes you're interested in, then stick around that area and keep harvesting the nodes as soon as they respawn.

    I got this lead twice; Once for myself and once for my gf. I spent literal hours running up and down the coast between King's dolmen and Balefire, because there's a decent amount of nodes there and it was quiet. Eventually got it for myself after a couple of days.

    Then I said I'd farm it for my gf, and got hers within the first few nodes. Seriously within minutes on her account.

    RNG just be like that.

    Good luck, op!

    The drop rate on the Ores for the Lead is low. It took me a week to get this one.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
