Drop locations for Air/Fire Archon

The Neverwinter Wiki site lists the drop location for the Archons as being in the Trove of Elemental Evil which was in a lockbox that has been phased out.

The Air/Fire Archon is a striker companion that can be found in the [Trove of Elemental Evil].

Where can I obtain these Archons? I know the bar trader has the Earth Archon, but I have not seen the others listed.

Any insight from the community will be appreciated!!!

    1. Archon can be found in AH.
    2. The Archons are still available in "Glorious Resurgence Epic Companions Pack" of the "Glorious Resurgence Lockbox" which comes back once a while, usually before new mod release.
    3. Old lockbox can be found in AH.

    I was hoping for a drop versus having to go the Astral Diamonds route in the AH.

    I've gotten green version of air and water (for what water's worth) from doing Master of the Hunt and Dread Ring, along with various other green companions, so it's safe to assume earth and fire versions will also drop in those skirmishes as well.

    The Fire Archon is available on the Tarmalune Tradebar Store. It's green, though. So you may be better off to spend the AD on a purple one straight away.

    Also, the Glorious Resurgence Lockbox won't be coming back between modules. At least not in its present form. This is according to what the developers said when discussing the changes to the lockboxes.

    They also drop in Cradle of the Death God. I got a Blue air and Blue Fire from there last 2xRP stones. Great drops for sure!

    They drop during Winterfest...
  • silverkeltsilverkelt Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 4,235 Arc User
    never seen one in winterfest..

    no more resurgence.. well that sux.

    I hate new boxes that automatically open.. so much more cumbersome to deal with. Plus they dump junk right to my inventory that I might not want to deal with at the moment.

    I want to sell junk that I dont want to people who may want them.

    I dont like the new process at all.

    I only like the new lockbox because there's a chance of a legendary crafting tool. Otherwise, I dislike everything else about it.

    The Archons and most other pets are on the bonus loot table that can be found from any dungeon or skirmish chest. Before the current mod, there was a system that regulated bound vs. unbound drops but now it seems all or most are unbound. Master of the Hunt previously only dropped bound loot but I've gotten decent drops there unbound lately.

    I got a legendary hammer - been trying to sell it for 600k ever since...

    As to Archon drops I have played millions of content and never had one drop in nearly three years of playing so good luck with that ;)

    Yup I know its just RNG on top of RNG on top of RNG on top of...

    I have gotten one or two archons as random drops from daily random queues....sure, the chance is low, but they do appear.

    My advice - spend your time farming AD, and buy the Archon(s) you want on the AH.
    Hoping for improvements...

    The drop probability of Archons/Orcus shard/whatever generally are too low to go for farming them yourself. Better farm AD and buy off AH.

    Every drop I've gotten this mod was unbounded and could sell for only a few hundred AD, maybe 1K or two if I am lucky. We can thank the complainers who griped about losing out on "hundreds of thousands of AD" every time they got something bound. The devs listened to them this time and now, no one wins, except may the new players who can buy just about anything for dirt cheap.

    And the old players that have enuff storage space to hold onto things until the price goes back up...

    any companion can drop in high end dungeons, including air/fire archon, many allies of mine have gotten an archon in epic temple of spider and cradle for example.

    That's if prices come back... We just had a recruitment event that saw the creation of lots of new characters, yet prices still cratered. Some artifacts are reaching the point where it is more cost effective to just convert to RP.
