You can just turn rifts off for a while instead

This doesn’t actually work as it’s supposed to though.. I turned rifts off & my world still experiences lunar hail.

just a bit of FYI: Trying to fight crab king on an already small boat platform with limited movement AND dodge glowing shards of hail are an interesting experience.

step of the quest

May you clarify this aspect? Some of us were enjoying being able to force Vargs into the world, will there still be a way to stay on said 'step' and keep the force spawns?

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, but you're only supposed have a guaranteed Varg hunt when the Rift is open and you are currently on that step of the quest.  That will be fixed in our next patch.

I’m a bit confused on the wording of this. Does this mean that if you kill bearger/deerclops and the varg is left to kill for the quest, it then causes the chance of the varg to be guaranteed? In addition, if a player has already done the initial 3 kills, would repeat cycles that also have bearger/deerclops dead also result in a guaranteed varg?

It will count for repeat cycles as well.  Basically, anytime a Varg hunt would result in mutation and a Wagstaff appearance, it will be guaranteed.  If you spawn Vargs but don't kill them, then it will keep guaranteeing them until you finally kill one.

Thank you for the response!! I appreciate the clarification on the details : )

Thank you for your response.
I hope that this fix will allow all players, whether they are looking for Varg or not, to be able to play stress-free.

i like having more vargs. We play in a multiplayer world so we need more spark arks, not just one per year.

If it works exactly like how V2C, you can still get a varg every hunt as long as you do not kill them.

You can only get 1 spark ark from a varg a year because you cant kill them over and over.

this is not true, as long as you defeat bosses in an alternate manner, they will drop sparks. We were able to hunt sparks by hunting vargs, then summoning deerclops with hostile flare, and hunting vargs again.

You can still garher tons of vargs and then kill them afterwards.

I'm not understanding the intended mechanic of the varg spawn. could you elaborate? So you mean if they die, they wont spawn anymore until the next year?
