Has the new mechanic for experimental afffix crafting rendered experimental items obsolete especially the pre-monolith drops from exiled mages? I believe the glyph that could be obtained from converting experimental items is no longer in the game. I have nearly an inventory page of boots and gloves with experimental affixes on them but they are not as useful to me while leveling and they are lower level boots (sub C-Level 50). Am I correct in my thinking?
Both the rune and the glyph related to experimental affixes were removed from the game (which is a shame, because a guaranteed experimental sealed affix was handy in a few situations).
Yes, the new mechanic made the mages mostly obsolete. The only exception being when it drops the item as exalted, which might save you some crafts.

Thank you. I didn’t know that experimental items could drop as exalted as well. I don’t have any exalted items with experimental affixes on them. Sounds like I will be vendoring some stuff.

They’re rare and will happen more both for CoF and at higher corruptions, but they are like any other item, so exalted is an option.
That being said, most players feel like it’s not worth wasting time fighting the mages for the odd exalted drop. Especially with the new echo for guaranteed experimental affixes and runes of Havoc.
The mages are actually worth to kill when you have the weaver tree causing champion spawns with them. And lizards from champions. But otherwise they’re basically useless, yes.
