Thieves guild armoury: why are my last 2 leads not dropping? Resolved, got lead today ❤️

Pcgamer · July 21

Hi
Ive been trying my best to get these last 2 leads for my thieves guild armoury.
I have geared 3 maxed characters and can now beat the timervfor the heists and i cant get the last 2 leads. I have other characters i farm thieves troves in glenumbra and hews bane.
Im stuck doing 3 heists a day and farming troves and nothing.

Help please. I watched vids on best thieves troves routes in glenumbra and hews bane cos some ppl said they got theirs in hews bane and im getting tired of doing heists for no leads

The leads i got are : brigard's dagger. > camouflaged hood and wooden display board

Update: thank you to you who left comments, you're all awesome. I just got the cabinet lead from a trove in glenumbra...one more to go then im done.

Check out my thread at the link below. It shows the "route" I took when I was farming the codex for that station. Maybe it'll help you a little.

My experience was like yours, I got the first 3 leads in 2 days. The 4th and 5th took another seven days going between troves and heists. I think the drop rate is botched just like the gem of agility on DE.

Yes i had seen your map and was following it for hews bane. Great effort on your part. Thank you.
I used your map route and used custompins to mark the trove locations. There are a lot of people farming that route now.

Yes this sort of grind is extremely frustrating cos you never know if it's glitched for you or you just have very bad rng. Also, when there are as many players as we have in a server like mine is pc/na it's crazy to expect them to be able to farm thieves troves on just 2 zones. That is very limiting and requires hours of grinding or standing around waiting for the troves to appear.
This is not fun.

FYI - you can get leads from Thieves Troves in ANY zone, not just Glenumbra or Hew's Bane

The Thieves Guild Armory Station leads that drop from thieves troves, only drop in Glenumbra and Hew's bane. You may be thinking of the Rogue's Refuge house in which one of its fragments (the Indecipherable Sai Note) drops from Thieves Troves and Safeboxes from any zone.

I perfectly understand. I'm missing the last lead for the armory station... and it never drops. I'm doing 4 PERFECT HEIST a day and I'm searching for thieves troves in those zones, but nothing. My husband tho... in 3 days he got all the leads!
The RNG god always kisses the same people

You're welcome.
Well, try to find some time during "off hours." I can imagine it's a real pain when a lot of players are online and farm same thing like you. Also, the number of players will eventually drop because more and more of them will have completed their station... So good luck with the farming.
