The fifth lead for the Thieves Guild Armory Station is the "Camouflaged Hood."

Was the fifth lead also a thieves trove? Unfortunately I'm console, so can't help search for leads, but my wife is a codex completionist and appreciates all of your work finding the leads.

During the first two weeks of PTS (NA Copy), I was able to obtain 4 of the 5 Thieves Guild Armory Station part leads from Thieves Troves in the Glenumbra zone (only). As I continuted to hunt down dozens more Thieve Troves, the fifth (Camouflaged Hood) lead never dropped for me. Neither did it drop while doing Heists. However, the Achievement for the armory station says the leads drop from "Thieves Troves and Heists."

So far this week, I've gotten two leads from Thieves Troves on my EU account but don't have heists unlocked on EU. Unfortunately, the troves have not been spawning as much on PTS this week, or more players are hunding them down so they don't show up as frequently. Also, the drop rate appears much lower on EU, with only 1 lead every 20 or so boxes vs. every 5 or 6 when it was the NA copy.

I'm worried about the scarcity of Thieves Troves, increased player competition for them when they do spawn, and inconsistent drop rates when U50 goes live.

I wonder if any EU folks have stumbled on any more Leads? If not, I'm betting others are in something you wouldn't normally test or just trip over on PTS – like Heists, rather than nodes/lootables.

This week's PTS Patch Notes might give a clue to a possible lead source: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/692220/pts-patch-notes-v12-0-3#latest



Not sure about the language used "Either an antiquity lead or a furnishing from the faction zone."

Faction zone sounds like it could be either Alliance War or Night Market. Really hope that isn't the case and that it's a lead in the Glenumbra zone for one of the new Antiquities.

The first Thieve's Trove of the day on Week 5 of U50 PTS dropped both of these:

After digging up 45 Glenumbra Treasure Maps, I feel pretty confident that none of the new leads drop from the zone maps for U50.

Thank you for doing that -_-
Wonderful if true!

But what if it drops on the 46th map?!
Sunk cost fallacy? Never heard of her

I know you're joking, but FWIW, new 1/3 leads would've dropped within ~10 maps. Perhaps especially if using a new tester.

Collected a second set of leads for the Thieves Guild Armory Station. All five leads dropped from Thieves Troves in the Glenumbra zone.

While the leads are dropping at a rate of 1 lead for every 6 troves, the spawn rate for Thieves Troves remains abysmally low (at best 1 spawn for every 10 proven trove locations). Given the low spawn rate and anticipated high player competition for the rare source when U50 goes live, the Armory Station is going to be very difficult to obtain and the codex even more so.

I am still having no luck with leads for the other three Antiquity furnishings or furnishing plans for Glenumbra. I haven't gotten any leads from Favors reward boxes either.

Drop rates for the Ancient High Elf ornate structural furnishing plans are super low (4.6% or <1 plan for every 20 Summerset Daily Recompense box opened, and I opened 305 of them). The drop rate is signifcantly lower than Solstice plans dropping from a similar source. Summerset boxes came from World Boss, Delve and Geyser dailies during testing. Patch notes only specified the WB and delve dailies as a source. Geyser dailies are only unlocked on a character after completing a significant portion of the Summerset story, so few players will have these dailies unlocked on more than one character.
