This is, BY FAR, the most annoying lead in the game as you are at the mercy of the RNG for the game placing a psijic portal instead of a rune node, then RNG for getting the lead. Its maddening

I'd argue that the lead dropping from the rewards chest in DSA is the most maddening. I'm not even remotely interested in running 40-45 minutes of the most mind-numbingly boring content over and over again for a minuscule chance at a lead drop.

Does anyone know where a map for the runestones in that zone exists online for console players? I have tried finding the lead but only see a handful of runestones in an hour or so and get bored and log off.

Yet another update: so since the maintaince, no more kuta stream and i've encounterd 2 portals in 90 mins (a bit high, but whatever) still the rng on the drop rate is being a moudly banana...but hey, something's fixed at least

Using the map above, I went to a place that had a number of runestones close together and found the lead on my third Psijic portal. I am certain you guys were the reason I was able to get it so quickly. Thanks to @method__01 for the map and @virtus753 for reminding me that the double drops would help me.

Worst for me was the RNG within RNG within RNG of Sea Serpent's Coil. I'm uninstalling if I ever see a writ again. Ban time-gated RNG. Haven't done the sabatons, got DDF while grinding other PvP gear in vDSA at least.

that sea serpent coil lead is basically on par with all of the treasure map leads lol, at least you can guarantee 1 chance a day since your not even guaranteed treasure maps every day lol

Could we get an alternative source added for the Dov-Rah sabaton Toe Cap lead?

as it stands right now it only drops from psijic portals in soutner elsweyr, but the problem with that is psijic portals are functionally extinct in southern elsweyr

ya plot out a small circut of runestones to farm out to try and get a portal
you run it and farm constnaly for hours and all you get is runestones without seeing a single portal

so once again, can we get another source for the lead added to the game?

Update: I have been non-stop farming/hunting portals for almost 4 hours at this point and I have only encountered ONE psijic portal in this entire time, so maybe Zos should increase their spawn rate up from 0.0001%?

Update 2: 13 hours later only seen the one portal....what the fork is going on with this rng?

If you look at a map for this zone, its fairly easy to see where the runes are. The same thing with the Argonian Beads lead from Shadowfen.

Initially I had great difficulty with this until I looked at the map and noticed patterns. If you're used to farming nodes in Craglorn or anything like that you get used to leaning on the geography from time to time. Once I realized this I found the lead the very next day. Although yeah it still took a little while to find it on the same day.

That said, it makes sense ZOS ties the Mythic lead's locations in with the geography of certain zones. Really feels like you're more on an expedition and not just traveling between waypoints. What many interpret as being unreasonable is actually I believe working as intended.

Does anyone know where a map for the runestones in that zone exists online for console players? I have tried finding the lead but only see a handful of runestones in an hour or so and get bored and log off.

I've never found one. The leads from runestone nodes or portals are always a pain. Still looking for the third lead for the Beacon light.
