Lightning Zap IV won't drop

[Neo Nocturna]

I'm no stranger to RNG being excessively cruel but I'd like to know other people's experiences with farming for Lightning Zap IV. I've killed Hollow King over 50 times now (I know because I keep all of the Astral Hearts I get) and I haven't had a single Lightning Zap IV drop. I've gotten literally everything else in his listed drop table multiple times over but Lightning Zap IV just refuses to drop. Am I just unlucky? Is the drop rate for it really that low? Are sources wrong about Hollow King dropping that recipe? I'd appreciate some input on this.

The problem is he does not drop that spell as it's something you need to craft:

You need to craft a level one version of it and upgrade it with other resources as I don't think the wiki is correct for that item anymore.

Sorry for the confusion but I wasn't implying that Hollow King dropped the spell. What I meant was the Recipe needed to craft the spell which apparently Hollow King drops. If he no longer drops it then I'd really like to know what drops the Lightning Zap IV recipe.

You craft it in your altar under the skills area.

You can't craft Lightning Zap IV without a recipe. The highest Altar, Altar IV, can only craft up to Lightning Zap III. I have Lightning Zap III already, I'm looking for the Lightning Zap IV recipe.

Ahh you are right so I guess keep trying the boss or maybe it was moved to the hard mode version of him like poison rain II is for the worm boss.

Hi guys,
there is no Lightning Zap IV recipe in the game anymore. In update 0.8.2 we have interchanged the electro quarz gems with the flame rubies and therefore the Lightning Zap IV has been deleted from the game. To fill that hole you can craft a Fireball IV now.

Thank you for the clarification. Although I am a little disappointed that Lightning Zap IV is gone...I prefer Lightning over Fire thematically.
