I could swear I read all over the place that spark arks now just "drop" from the mutated bosses after you defeat the Scion.

I have now killed both the mutated deerclops and bearger and I did not get a single spark ark. I am playing with the winter's feast event enabled and have been since the start of this world (no idea if relevant). They were dropping just fine before I defeated the Scion (from the grainy transmission).

Is it only me or? Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help!

are you doing this in a test world

if so: did you kill mutant varg? Cuz you have to kill all three mutated bosses before it starts giving you spark arks from individual bosses

No, it's in a survival world and I've killed all mutated bosses to get the first spark ark, then got 2 more before defeating the Scion. 

Only now, I've noticed they have stopped dropping the ark for some reason.

I have a few mods (server: epic healthbar, beefalo status bar, wormhole marks, client: combined status, mimimap hud, snapping tiles).

I'll try disabling all mods and killing another mutated boss to see if that works or not when I get the chance.

Actually, I turned off all my mods and killed a mutated varg and it dropped a spark ark. Not sure what's going on exactly, but I don't have time to investigate which mod could be the issue at the moment. Might look into it later.

Do you know you need to finish a cycle to get more spark ark?

You need to kill warg/deerclop/bearger to get into next cycle.

If you only kill deerclop+bearger, then kill deerclop again, that deerclop won't drop ark

You do..? I thouht every mutated boss you killed after getting the first ark would drop an ark. Today I learned. Thanks for this!

There two parts to this: each mutant boss drops the Spark Ark  after the first one, but with a condition that the same lunar mutant variety won't drop another Ark until all three have also died at least once.

Example:
Lunar Rifts are first opened > P. Varg killed (no Ark) > A. Bearger killed (no Ark) > C. Deerclops killed (Spark Ark dropped) > P. Varg killed (Spark Ark dropped) > C. Deerclops killed (Spark Ark dropped) > P. Varg killed (no Ark) > P. Varg killed (no Ark) > C. Deerclops killed (no Ark) > A. Bearger killed (Spark Ark dropped) > P. Varg killed (Spark Ark dropped) > P. Varg killed (no Ark) > etc.

I've color-coded mutants that were part of the same cycle until the full roster has been downed. If the colors are hard to look at, here it is with text formatting instead

Lunar Rifts are first opened > P. Varg killed (no Ark) > A. Bearger killed (no Ark) > C. Deerclops killed (Spark Ark dropped!!) > P. Varg killed (Spark Ark dropped) > C. Deerclops killed (Spark Ark dropped) > P. Varg killed (no Ark) > P. Varg killed (no Ark) > C. Deerclops killed (no Ark) > A. Bearger killed (Spark Ark dropped!!) > P. Varg killed (Spark Ark dropped) > P. Varg killed (no Ark) > etc.

Yes, but OP was informed that you need to kill Varg Bearger and Deerclops again to get another spark arc instead of the 1 per kill

You took what they said to mean that you need to do a whole cycle again to get a singular spark ark but I believe they were speaking on the condition that I outlined above (the notion that while every kill drops an Ark after the first one, only once per trio)

Yeah I think it was the trio element I was missing. I thought for instance I could farm possessed vargs during a rift after getting the first ark and I could get many arks by just doing that and never re-killing the deerclops or bearger (mutated).
