Bug? Or bad RNG? You decide!

I'm down to one last lead for the Saint and Seducer Mythic item and I'm looking for the one that is supposed to drop from Dark Anchors and Incursions. Until the reset of this PVP campain, I did West Weald dailies on a daily basis - including the incursions, and I've spent a grand total of at least 10 hours doing nothing but anchors in Auridon, Alik'r, and other anchor hotspots, and still no lead. I don't know if this is bad RNG or a bug.

Has anyone else experienced this? I was told that the leads for this mythic were easy to get and were dropping relatively quickly for everyone else.

    I got it on my first anchor. I know its often said, but double check you haven't picked it up already and not noticed, or its actually a different one you are missing (been there, done that)

    As above. Got it on my first anchor as well, are you sure it isn't a lead you have already collected or maybe overlooked?

    Definitely don't have it. I've already scribed all of the leads I had for the West Weald, and I habitually check my antiquities journal to make sure I didn't pick it up. It's just not dropping for me.

    The Vitharn-crafted Bail? I got that this morning while running the Auridon dolmen train (to complete the dark anchor daily endeavor).
    (It only required one, but I ran all three since I hadn't done so yet with that character, and I got the lead on the second dolmen.)

      pretty sure it has to be dolmens specifically, not any incursion event

      i definitely also got it from a dolmen (i think my first or 2nd one)

      i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

      I have something to add, I need the last monster trophy Buzzing Spine from a Wamasu. I have been trying for 1.5 years and nothing so I know what your going through. It seems like when your after something it will never drop but you get all the other stuff to drop like crazy.

      I just completed mine last week, I had been working on it for 10 years.

      You'll get there, just play for another 8.5 years.

      When I looked it up after I got it, the source was given specifically as Auridon dolmens.

      I wasn't looking for the lead, wasn't even aware of its existence because I wasn't on the hunt for the mythic, and
      it was only by chance that I chose to do the dolmen in Auridon versus somewhere else.

      But I use the 'Display Leads -- with Location Info' add-on, and it gives the source for that lead as Auridon dolmens.

        i use that as well to help give hints on where to get stuff, however i dont think i got the lead from specifically an auridon dolmen, i think i got it while i was doing fighters guild dailies for scripts before my main finished learning them all lol

        I had that lead drop from a dolmen in Cyrodiil, so it may not just be Auridon. Auridon would certainly be easier though lol

        It took 3 for me to get it, sometimes it can be worth changing to a different toon, had a couple of times when me or a buddy have been grinding 12 or more public dungeon bosses for a lead, then swap characters and get it on the first one after the change, they really do need to just guarantee the leads or a lead if a source drops multiple will drop instead of turning the "enjoyable game" into a monotonous grind and wait simulator, I mean if I wanted to 'Not play ESO' (because waiting for a respawn isn't playing) I could just ...not play ESO (and actually play something else, also save me paying ESO+)

        I was actually able to get the lead this weekend. I stopped at dolmens off and on throughout the weekend before making a concerted effort to farm them in Alik'r. Guess its just bad RNG.
