I just dropped a legendary item (level 50 item) with my Hardcore character which is at level 47. Since I always know/read around forums and stuff that Legendary Items drop at level 50, I was kinda surprised… Then I noticed that in the Hunt for Loot section of the Official Game Guide, it is stated that LI start dropping “around level 50”, so I was wondering:
is there a table or something with explicit % chance of Legendary drop related to player level?
Also, has Hardcore mode a higher chance of drop compared to normal mode?
Drop depends on enemy level, not yours so while in many areas enemies outlevel you (especially heroes and bosses) it’s totally possible to find a legendary at lvl 47. as far as i know, hardcore mode doesn’t impact loot. difficulty level impact legendaries drop chance, though, so if you drop it in norml/veteran tou’ve been quite lucky
Oh I see, thank you, I didn’t know it was enemy’s level based, I think it should be more openly stated on the official game guide! And yes, I was in veteran, so lucky me
