Hello,
I was wondering if classic epic world drops like Destiny, Hand of Edward the Odd and Skullflame Shield drop for characters under level 20. I’m collecting epic weapons with low level requirement but never got any of those while farming below level 20. I’ve done tens of thousands of kills but never got anything. They do drop at level 20 but not below. I couldn’t find any relevant information online. Is it possible to receive an answer from a GM or dev confirming that they do not drop under level 20 so I can stop farming please?
I suspect this could be an issue caused by the level squish.
Tens of thousands kills is hardly enough to confirm or deny that they drop or not as the drop rate is so low. Wowhead has some recorded stats of Hand of Edward Odd dropping from the vanilla raids which matches what I remember from vanilla, most of the high level world drop epics dropped from the raids or other max-level dungeons/content (Stratholme, Scholomance, UBRS etc).
If you think there is a bug you should report it in-game. If you actually want the items you are probably going to get them much quicker by farming gold to buy from AH.
There haven’t been any confirmed drops below level 20 since the start of SL.
Wowhead drop chance data is incorrect for most drops.
The items literally don’t drop.
The level of the character does not generally influence the level of items dropped for said character. What can play a role is the level of the monster being killed - so if the monster happens to be scaling towards the character’s level, and thus ends up above or below the level it’d require to carry some desired loot, that may indeed be relevant.
However, this isn’t actually a technical support topic, so we’ll be closing this thread now.
