Wisp Empowerment from Thorough Exploration/Wildwood Ember monsters do not increase rewards

While it's always tricky to assess drop quantity/quality, I've killed enough bosses with Thorough Exploration allocated, as well as wisp-empowered Wildwood monsters spawned using Embers of the Allflame, to conclude that wisp empowerment is not providing increased rewards. The most obvious tell is killing Primal Empowered monsters, especially bosses, and never getting extra currency. I haven't tried out Scarab of Wisps yet.

I'm on Standard SC and I have the same problem with the "Thorough Exploration" notable. Bosses empowered by Primal Wisp don't drop any extra currency anymore since an update or two ago, since 3.24.2 or 3.24.1. Some bosses don't drop any currency at all while empowered by Primal Wisps.

The notable worked right after the initial 3.24.0 patch, if I killed a boss that was empowered by Primal Wisps they always dropped at least one currency item.

I didn't try the new Affliction/Wisps Scarabs.
I just assumed that, if the Notable doesn't add an extra currency when I kill a boss empowered by Primal Wisps, the scarabs might be broken as well.

Bump. This seems like a critical issue.

they don't care they're done and moving to next buggy release

Finally tried out Scarab of Wisps, which seems to work correctly. But Thorough Exploration and empowered monsters spawned by Wildwood Embers don't get any reward increase from empowerment, even though they do get the increased difficulty.
