    And my adamantine gauntlet drops nothing but rank 5s and lesser artifact stones : |

    Keep in mind that these are probably a bugged drop. They messed up the loot table on these and instead of the "proper" mark of the day dropping, it pulls from the entire loot table of marks.

    No, you're mixing up two things. Items from the arcane coffer (that you use a gauntlet with) are supposed to drop various marks of potency -- and they do, from the posts above.

    The main chest is where you get a mark of union/power/stability. This is where the bug is: PF doesn't always drop union, DS doesn't always drop power, but it seems like DF always drops stability (at least for me).

    If you get a green or blue mark, that is WAI -- they purposely let green/blue/purple marks drop in the last chest, but at some point after the start of Mod 6 they messed up on the type of mark dropping.

    Actually that isn't a bug. Ever since mod 6, you are not guaranteed a Greater Mark of (insert type). You are guaranteed a green/blue/purple mark of union/power/stability. It can be any of those. The quest text from Sgt. Knox simply has not been changed to reflect this.

    it's a special feature they forgot to mention during mod 6 launch and never bother to inform the user base nor change the quest text like many other places.

    I think the developer loved film Forrest Gump so much that they decided to incorporate the "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get" into their code.
