Legendary drop before LVL 50?

I was just making my way through the Plains of Strife area, a LVL 49 FireStriker, minding his own business, pwning aetherial noobs and making sure to record down names, when all of a sudden, a Butcher of Burrwitch Legendary Axe just drops on the floor before my very feet!?

I thought I was of the understanding that Legendary’s only start dropping once the character LVL is 50? Or is it mob LVL of 50? I suppose that would explain the Legendary.

Hm.

Albeit, a completely useless Legendary for my Dual Pistol FireStriker, still lovely to see my very first spot of purple :slight_smile:

I certainly hope to see a lot more!

It’s the mob level, not the char level, that drops are based on. Otherwise you could run low-level areas with a high level char and still get legendary drops :wink:

Ahh very true, Mamba! I never thought of it that way.

So shmart!

Thanks!

This is why you can get those lovely, lovely low level Epics at pretty absurd single digit character levels, when playing with the more ridiculous early skills re: searing ember, dreegs, etc. as well.
