What Ilvl drops at what character level?

Community General Discussion

I need your help friends of the WoW and the forums.
I recently started leveling in Retail (because I’m still waiting for WotLk) and I tried to do this by:

  1. activate XP Stop: Farming green items with good stats
  2. deactivate XP Stop: Playing Battlegrounds from 10 - 60

This seems more complicated in reality than on paper.
What I know:

  1. If I am level 10-15 the armor that drops is for players from level 6
  2. If I am level 16 the armor that drops is for players from level 11

So, my first conclusion was: It’s always (Your character level - 5) = Green Ilvl
Sadly that isn’t the case.
Today my first farm toon went level 23 and the first green item was a level 16 one.

Anyone has an idea how the system works?

I know by now that weapons and armor drops in are different Ilvl and dungeon drops are really based on timewalking or chromie time

would not really think too much into it…

gear is not overly important in retail while leveling as it is in classic…

just pick up whatever you find…

in retail gear only matters at end game… which is the sad truth
