Some of the bosses in the ben chenner entrance story quests have missing drops. The boss of autumn reed bed is supposed to drop at least 3 cores on hard, but most of the time he will drop NO cores at all. Ben chenner entrance is the only one with story bosses that have missing cores for some reason.

    Similar issue : Some hard mode story bosses in ben chenner entrance only drop two cores, instead of the 3 that they should be dropping.

    The boss of Autumn reed bed is unique in that it drops no cores at all most of the time.

    It's intentional that ARB's boss doesn't always drop cores (random, low chance for any cores). This was done to prevent botting (or some such nonsense). It was in the patch notes several patches ago (Lugh patch maybe?).

    Got a link? This doesnt make sense as bots would be able to access every battle in the game as they use hacks.

    Slight correction to the above : All s3 story battles with mini bosses either drop no cores most of the time, or only 2 cores in hard mode (not counting luck or VIP cores). Only story battles with final bosses like Callidus, Akadus, etc, seem to drop the correct amount of cores in hard mode.
