Hello, following a previous discussion regarding q8 weapons, where some people stated that only levels 18-21 can drop max q8 items (so lower level foes can still drop q8 but not max damage and higher level drop max damage but > q8), I was wondering if there is info regarding other foe levels. Is there such a table somewhere with foe levels and item reqs /dmg they can drop? For example, what level foes can drop max q4 (i.e. 12-16 dmg) swords (or q5 for the post-nerf weaps)? This would be particularly interesting for pre players such as myself 
Thank you in advance!
Cheers,
M
Foe level and item req/damage

I don't think such a table exists. One of the reasons is, that there is very few people interested in low requirement items (and through that I don't mean max q8 items or prenerf q7s). I think there is only one organised circle of low requirement enthusiasts. There was an algorythm that was able to tell you the numbers, but from experience I know, that it wasn't accurate and consistent when we took monsters from different campaigns under consideration.

Well there been some research but no table made rly
atleast for Presear there isnt any other except the Pre max as uknow those (like 12-16 sword) drops only from lvl10 charr bosses *Ty maguar fixed lvl xD
lvl 12 is lowest dropping golds (thats why there isnt golds in pre) and lvl12 foes are only that can drop q3 Golds hence q3 golds are really rare (Except there were few golds dropped after vanguard quests added but possibility for those to drop no longer excist it was fixed quickly) *fix
lvl13-15 drop q4-9 golds, dmg being really low, you can rly see the lowest gold/purple stats from the excisting table

And well. the lower then those bosses in pre drop lower golds but theyre rather pointless to be added but iknow some pre maniacs know max stats dropping from normal charr maybe someone can add them here.

Yep. Red Fireball Rusher is the authority on this. He’s been researching this for years. Probably a decade. He won a Nobel Prize for his work on this.

*lvl 10 Charr bosses
This is exactly my point, if the max pre items (e.g. 12-16 sword, 7-19 axe etc regardless of req) are dropped ONLY by the bosses, then perhaps we could focus on farming the bosses only instead of cleaning the entire area of lower level Charr (levels 7-8). If the lower level Charr can also drop them, then it makes sense to kill them too to increase the chances of getting a max drop. Thank you for your input so far, I will contact red in game as well

Yeah wep wise sure but it aint much trouble sell lower charrs which can drop good dmg mods like 18vs charr so i think its better kill all for that extra 1min time (IMO)

Hello. I agree that Red is the best source for this topic. I am just as interested in learning more about historical tracking of foe level per req/dmg etc.
I can correct one statement about the minimum level that drops gold, I know for sure that Q12 can drop golds, to confirm myself, I went out and farmed for one today with success (see below screenshots). From my understanding Q11's is the only level that can drop q3 golds, which is extremely rare. I have a few q3 golds myself but don't have any screenshots or proof (or memory) of the level that dropped them.
And not to shabby of a drop hehe

and regarding a table: it does exist (on my computer) - I´ll post it as soon as I have time.
considering golds/purples: lvl7 and higher drop purples (starting at q0), lvl 12 and higher drop golds (starting at q3) - every feather farmer knows this (currently there are few q3 golds for sale in selling section).
for pre: bosses are the only mobs that drop those 12-16 swords etc. the other mobs (lvl8 ones) drop up to 10-14 (staying with the swords example here). So yes: farming all the noob mobs in charr homelands won´t help a bit, if you´re after a 12-16 sword.
So far to answer the discussed topics - I´ll see if I manage to upload the req-range-by-level- table anytime soon
