Rune of Darkness Elite Monsters =/= Boss Spawn

Bug type: Functionality

Brief bug summary: I'm not sure if this was a noted change, but as of the last patch, whenever you kill Elites from Rune of Darkness, it does not advance the darkness of your map. For example, pre-patch, if you just had the map go dark (which would require 3 more Elites before boss spawn), and then used a Rune of Darkness to spawn/kill 3 more Elites, the following elite spawn would be the boss. Currently, when the next spawn comes, it is just another Elite Monster; killing the Elites from Rune of Darkness merely gives you a refresh of the current state of darkness for the map - it does not add any kills/progression whatsoever.

Steps to reproduce: Keep track of map darkness, use a Rune of Darkness, observe that it does not add progression count.

Character name: Mirazja

Character level: 235

Character job: F/P Arch Mage

World name: Scania

Date and time of the incident: Last few weeks, no specific time.

    Pretty sure they changed the Rune of Darkness to not count as/advance 3 stages awhile back, unless I'm remembering wrong/misunderstanding what you're trying to say.
