Mythic Items

ESO Mythic Items are unique, single-piece items that can be acquired through the Antiquities System.  ESO added the Antiquity System with the Greymoor DLC.  You will need this content to unlock the Antiquity System.  Various other Mythic Items have been released in the Greymoor DLC and subsequent DLCs and Chapters.  Owning additional content grants you access to the Mythic Items in that release.

Each Mythic Item can be used only one at a time, but its benefits can significantly boost your character’s abilities.

Leads drop in various locations.  As with all antiquities, lead drops are not guaranteed.  You may have to visit some of these activities and locations multiple times.  Leads are then used to find the antiquity excavation site.  Once you have acquired all 5 fragments, the fragments will transform into the Mythic Item.  

You can still acquire leads even if you haven’t yet unlocked Antiquities.  You just won’t be able to use them.  Note: Leads do expire in 30 days!  If you haven’t scryed them within 30 days, they will disappear and you will need to reacquire them. This particular guide goes over the leads required to unlock Bloodlord’s Embrace. A Heavy Armor chest piece, favored as one of the Best ESO Mythic for tanks! But that depends on your build!

This effect can occur every 1 second.
