What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
I appear to have encountered 4/3 Valhawks today. I expected a maximum of 3 Valhawks.
Please do not ban me, or reduce my Valhawk drop rate to below normal tomorrow.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Probably since PVP was released.
Steps to make it happen again
Play pvp in multiple regions? Note this occurred on a Monday.
I’m wondering if the Valhawk battle was cached. If so, that might mean that some people would get stuck at 2 Valhawks until they change regions to where the Valhawk currently resides…
During the battle, an Evil Gargoyle gem inflicted the lycanthropy on enemy. Later it was transformed to the valhawk, which was without bag icon.
But after winning the battle i gained 2 monolith sigils; that became my 4th valhawk today.
I noticed quite some time ago that summoned Valhawks drop Monolith sigils when defeated, even if you have 3 encounters and 10+ sigils. I never reported it due to how minor an issue it was, and how rarely it happens, depending on a random undead summon being a Valhawk.
EDIT: I didn’t see the Valhawk count go to 4/3 because I had 12 sigils, and the count is hidden when you have 10+.
I didn’t think of lycanthropy.
I wonder what happens if a player actually puts one or more Valhawks on their team? The monolith sigils are on me!
