Aldmeri Golden Embellishments Lead Not Dropping

TheElderGamer · February 12

I have been at this from 12/12/23 to today.

Avg Troves 5.77
Avg Leads 0.04
Avg Motifs 0.00
Avg Large Shipments 1.74
Avg Treasure Maps 1.52
Total Troves 935.00
Total Leads 6.00
Total Large Shipments 282.00
Total Treasure Maps 247.00

I have done this in Telvanni Peninsula, Vvardenfell, Galen, Summerset, Rivenspire, The Rift, Western Skyrim and Hew's Bane. On average I only get .04 Antiquity leads which is 6 leads out of 935 thieves troves opened. Is this a bug? If it is a bug it impedes progress. I got all Mythic antiquity items and only the Aldmeri Golden Embellishments for the gold antiquities left to complete. I have the other two leads completed for the Music Box, In Dreams and Memories antiquity. Please is this a bug or is there a more optimal place to find this lead. How many more months must I endure this one lead? I appreciate somebody looking into this problem or some other person giving me advice. Thank you.

I believe it drops in troves in Auridon, although not sure if that's its sole location.

One of those leads in Inifinite archive this week, maybe yours will popup there later as well.

This lead only drops from Thieves Troves in multiple zones.

Infinite Archive offers a rotating selection of leads to help those having trouble getting them from their original sources. This week has one of the other leads for the box:

If you need a trove farm then my favorite place is Bangkorai, in the city of Hallin's Stand in the southern part of the zone.

Already got the Lead: Preserved Music Box Mechanism a long time ago. The only lead I have to get for this antiquity is the Aldmeri Golden Embellishments. Thanks for the suggestion.

It sure did drop in Auridon.

Somebody can close this thread. I finally got this lead took me from 12/12/23 to today. I have no more antiquities to dig up until this June. Thank everyone for your help especially Djennku.

Hate to say it but the final lead for my first one of those music boxes took over a year to drop and I did try a LOT within that year to get it! 😥

If I add it all up it was a year. The RND is irritating sometimes.
