The Hidden Forest

First off I'd like to mention that I've read both viewtopic.php?f=126&t=12945 and viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12951.

However, after spending over 3 hours in Shadow Haven this morning working on fordel gems and a new toon, I can pretty much boldly confirm that somehow the Flask of Luck is completely blocking radiant crystals from dropping. I noticed that after a solid 45min-1hr of killing, not a single crystal dropped, while corpses that someone ELSE had killed had plenty of them rotting.
My situation: My main sits at the zone-in and has a flask equipped, while the toon I am killing snakes with does NOT. While my main has flask on, 35-40min of killing yielded absolutely no crystals. Then I'd un-equip the flask and continue killing. Within 4-6 mobs they would start dropping consistently again. This includes named and trash snakes. After another 35-40min of crystals dropping at a normal rate, I'd re-equip the flask and lo and behold they would completely stop dropping.
I know RNG can be very flighty, but after plenty of time testing with the flask both on and off, it's just way too coincidental. Pardon the wordy post I just wanted to be thorough.
Thought it'd be worth looking into as if it indeed is blocking crystals, then there could be other issues.

If you find a fix for this, can you also check this problem with the Wall of Slaughter items for the pets? I've cleared the chimera tunnel 4 times now and not had a single quest item drop.

I can confirm it's bugged right now. Please bank it until it's fixed.

Is it just radiant crystals being blocked or should we remove the flask for everything?

Loot seems OK so far, doing some tests as we speak. Checking WoS now.

Loot might also be affected based on WoS. I suspect it's related to loot chances but for now better not use the flask, it's Flask of Bad Luck right now..

Can confirm the items do drop but also can confirm that the Flask is blocking them right now. Without the flask you can farm them just like before.

Thanks for reporting it btw!

You're welcome.
Yeah, I was in WoS just last weekend with flasks equipped and pet quest items were dropping just fine. Guess radiant crystals could be a unique situation.

Does it affect only those two zones ? Wondering about some VT loot lol...

Like I said your best bet for now is not to use the Flask of Bad Luck. :p

Can anyone confirm this is still happening? There were a few changes pushed awhile back.
