Primal Air Elementals

I think there is a problem with Primal Air Elemental's drop rate for Crystallized Primal Air Elemental.

As a solo player, for Earth, Water and Fire, it usually takes at most 2 clearings of a Deep map to get a Crystallized Primal Elemental to drop after killing less than 10 Primal Elementals.

For Air I am getting much lower drop rate. Today I have killed so far 16 and had none drop. The other day, I had 1 drop on my 15th Primal kill. Time before that, I killed 23 Primals and had no Crystallized Primal Air Elemental drop. I do not have recorded stats from before that, but I have consistently had extreme low drop rates from Air in comparison to the others. 

I am aware that having a Crystallized Primal Elemental in inventory means one will not drop, there is no player error with these stats.

With reference to my comments on this thread/page:

When I timed out the server looking for the next Crystallized Primal Elemental that I needed, I was also hunting Primal Air Elementals at that time. That would have been 10-12 kills with no drop, and obviously not enough to infer an issue stand-alone. I was not carrying a Crystallized Primal Elemental, but I had obtained and used one earlier on the same server.

After the post, went to another server, killed 8 more Primal Air with no Crystallized Primal Air Elemental. I killed around 8 other Primals total to get the Crystallized Primal Elemental needed for the other 3 Princes.

They use the same script. Only way you could be getting a difference is if they're somehow getting a 'no xp' flag set on them for some reason - typically that applies when a creature has been summoned in.

I found one error in the code, but it's the same in all 4 elemental areas. It could be creating unpredictable behavior, but not only with one element. I have upped it for the next patch. Sorry I don't have an explanation, and please let us know if the trend continues.

Thanks,

When soloing, I am still getting Xap-Yaup in air. I do not get energons in any other realm since the patch that supposed to have removed them for solo play happened.
