    Well it turns out that we had another automated test fail! The Aether Orb and Creepy Dolly both showed up in our tests as dropping from monsters in scenes but like the bear incident it turns out that this was a false positive.

    In the case of the the Aether Orb it was dropping from the incorrect Lich type (the Lich boss in the Rise) due to an incorrect loot bundle connection. In the case of the Creepy Dolly this was actually delivering properly when we initially ran the test but during one of our Unity version upgrade experiments the loot bundle got stomped on somehow and replaced with another bundle that had an empty placeholder for the artifact and so it continued to show positive despite being empty.

    We have now corrected both these issues and the artifacts will be dropping correctly in the patch tomorrow (Wednesday September 5).

    Please accept our deepest apologies for this error and please know that we are grateful to those of you who did the hard work finding these issues for us and your fellow players.

    At least the Aether Lich didn't kill me multiple times... :oops:

    @DarkStarr Double the drop rate on these items for R57 to make up for the month nothing dropped? Seems fair to kill the lich 30 more times but to get the number of orbs (if any) as if we'd killed it 60 times (because we did).

    Also... reminder to reassess mossy handle drop rate and or salvage rate following the last raise (when you said you'd see how the change went).

    +1 on Sara's post above (and especially the mossy handle part).

    IIRC, it was supposed to be found on the zombie children, yes.

    Are the dolls actually in?
    I thought Sannio had disabled it completely so the explanation above still won't fix it if its been removed.
    Do we have confirmation from someone who actually has one?

    Did it drop in the lower part of upper tears or somewhere else?
