Minion drops artefact sword

[martinuzz]

Not sure if this is a bug, or just a rare lucky minion equipment spawn.
My minion, an armored skellie warrior, died (from necrotic aura being auto-switched off upon being gently pushed to the Eidolon plane by a unique Farportal ghoulking boss).

Guess what. It dropped the Sword of Potential Futures.
If it's intentional, it is highly exploitable for those who have the patience to summon endless streams of cute bunnies for infinite necrotic energy. In that case you could keep summoning until you have all artefact swords, bows and staves that are possible to spawn as minion equipment, I guess.

I did try to get another artefact drop, tried summoning about 100 minions in the Eidolon plane, but I didn't get another drop and lost patience.

Ran into this many betas ago, got a randart longsword from a Yeek Wayist summon.
