For some reason the exiled mages don’t drop experimental items. I checked my lootfilter, turned it off and still no experimental items.

No replies yet. Am i the only one with this issue? Guess i’ll just ignore the exiled mages as long this bug persists.
You should check filter rules. Experiment drops are OK for me, but t1-5 are hidden
It’s not the lootfilter. Exiled mages drop white items instead of experimental.
They drop tons of them man - I mean I’m not sure what to tell you Ive run a bunch of rune prisons and they’re all over the place and people in chat link them on their items all the time post slams. They don’t drop 100% of the time afaik but they drop a lot and they’re like blueish in colour. They are not always high tier’d like Pein said I would try holding X when you kill some.
Actually, now that I think about it I haven’t seen experimental drops in the past week or so. I recall tons of them dropping before.
Edit: Killed a bunch of mages and saw plenty of drops. I don’t need them so I had to deactivate my loot filter to see most of them.
It’s deffinatly a bug. It’s not because the bug doesn’t occur to you that it’s not there. Every exiled mage i kill drops 2 or 3 white items and no experimental. When i play another character they do drop. I don’t know how to trigger it but it’s bugged.

Use the in-game bug report tool (F8 by default). That will send game data to the devs so they can figure out what’s happening.

Hello! Thank you for sharing. I’m curious, as this was over the weekend, have you seen any drops since then? 
I just tried again, looked for an exiled mage, killed him but he didn’t drop an experimental item. As DJSamhein said i reported the bug with the in game tool.
I am experiencing this bug as well. Zero items with experimental mods. I double checked my filters, made a separate thing that highlights specifically experimental, turned the filter off and NADA. Zero experimental modded items dropping. I’ve fought a couple dozen over campaign now.
What build are you playing?
Falconer with Acid Flask + Bladestorm converted to cold
Also having this issue on a new softcore Legacy character I created. Currently playing the campaign and have fought a handful of Exiled Mages, double-checked my loot filter, and turned off my loot filter, still no experimental items.
Thanks for sharing. Next time you encounter an Exiled Mage, could you disable the loot filter before picking anything up, then submit an IGBR? Just in case. 
Yes, I actually completely turned off the loot filter before even killing the exiled mage and just now submitted a bug report. Thanks for looking at it. Hopefully it doesn’t persist into end game.
Having the same bug now. Started the season with a Sentinel and had normal experimental drops through the campaign and in early Monos. Then switched to a rogue and so far not a single experimental in the campaign, no matter if loot filter is off or not.
Made an ingame report ofc, hope that helps finding the cause…

I also had that issue with a new character where it wouldn’t drop during the campaign, but afterwards it started dropping in monoliths as normal.
