    Hate to double post but wanted to ask, has anyone seen the items drop in the chests yet? I have seen the MB explode with extra (yet they still asking insane price) so I assume so but is it a roll item like the Primal gear or pony or is it just randomly given to a player?

    I ask mostly cus I am joining farms simply in exchange for the horn (as I dont need the pony), want to make sure I am not wasting time joining. xD

    Greetings,

    As mentioned in Patch 3.1 notes, we have made it so that specific extreme primal items that used to drop directly from the boss will appear in treasure boxes while using the undersized party option. The undersized party option cannot be used to obtain Ifrit's Horn as it is obtained from the "Hard" version of the fight, so you will need to complete the Bowl of Embers (Hard) in a non-undersized party. This adjustment was put in place to make it easier to obtain items such as Kingly Whisker, which was highly requested.

    May I ask, what purpose is this change defeating? The Extreme Primal items are the valuable one, while the hard mode items are fairly easy to come by, this adjustment has made it easier for us to obtain the extreme mode items and I think that was the purpose.

    Never mind, there probably is a second version of the horn in ex.

    I was going to confirm that at least the kingly whisker does drop in undersized.. But Zhexos' post is kinda confusing..

    If you do a ex primal the normal way, not undersized, the items do not drop in a chest but the way they used to? And since items don't drop in undersized, and they didn't implement putting it in the chest for the hard modes, then it would literally be impossible to obtain it from undersized hard mode?

    Just sounds kinda confusing lol

    Basically to simplify the post.

    Extreme Undersized - Chest
    Extreme Normal - Normal random drop it seems as its only in the chest for undersized
    Hardmode Undersized - 0% chance of ifrit horn

    Now granted if Extreme Normal still had it drop from Ifrit + in chest. I can see some groups farming in normal for the chance at double drop...

    I guess the items from EX just turned into a chest item, so it doesn't really matter if undersized or not. So no double drop, that wouldn't make much sense to me.
    Or did I missed something? Meh, just re-read the post from Zhexos. Just sounds like undersized parties get the chest. But that's weird, why not turn the item into a chest item altogether? (at least for EX)
