World Drop Farming Compendium (ilvl 28 BoEs)

Sub is about to run out and I was just wondering the best spots to farm epics on my 20. Been farming at the slimes all month and I’ve only gotten 4 epics, all of them were pretty bad too lmao so I really hope it’s not here
[doublepost=1636016175,1636003786][/doublepost]
so according to WoWhead, SM has a chance for Hand of Edward the Odd, has anyone seen one drop there? Also should i be on a 17-18 for the weapon or would a 20 suffice (i plan on using it)
You ever get an answer for this man? I’m trying to farm one as well
 
its mob lvl that matters dude

if greens

lvl 25 toon kills lvl 25 mob = lvl 19 req armor
lvl 25 toon kills lvl 25 mob = lvl 22 req weapon
lvl 20 toon kills lvl 25 mob = lvl 19 req armor
lvl 20 toon kills lvl 25 mob = lvl 22 req weapon
lvl 20 toon kills lvl 20 mob = lvl 16 req armor
lvl 20 toon kills lvl 20 mob = lvl 17 req weapon


if blues

lvl 23 toon kills lvl 23 mob = lvl 19 req armor
lvl 23 toon kills lvl 23 mob = lvl 22 req weapon
lvl 20 toon kills lvl 20 mob = lvl 18 req armor
lvl 20 toon kills lvl 20 mob = lvl 20 req weapon

ps
there is no way for lvl 20 toons to get lvl 23 loot
cuz nothing scales to floor of 23
but zones do scale to floor of 25
which is why all the f2p dorks r losing sleep ova 9.1.5

Thank you for the clarification on this. Newbie here and trying to read all the posts/forums regarding this. :)
 
I just started playing on my f2p twink a few days ago, so I might be missing something. But why do people say we can't get lvl 28 greens anymore? There's plenty of lvl 25+ zones in Northrend and Outland. I just got a few lvl 28 greens in Icecrown and Crystalsong Forest. I assume they can also proc an upgrade for the socket. Unless it doesn't work for those expansions?
 
Hello everyone,

I was wondering how often do you guys loot the pile of corpses? How long does it take for items to dissapear? Is there a difference for blue vs green items (and epics)? or does it all go into the shadows/bin in the same time?

Do the following setups matter at all?

- Hyperfarming ilvl 28 greens solo
- Hyperfarming ilvl 28 greens in a group
- Hyperfarming MoP Blues solo
- Hyperfarming MoP Blues in a group

When I farmed a bunch of ilvl 28 greens at the start of the xpac I'd just loot every minute roughly. Now I would like to start up some farming for moP trinkets, but it always irked me that I might have missed that perfect drop because I didn't loot regularly enough!

I'd love to hear opinions on this or if anyone has some real info on the despawn timer of corpses, that'd be great!

Thanks in advance!

p.s. If someone is also farming MoP rares on horde EU maybe we can team up some time!

Okay, quicknote. Epics/Blues stay in corpses for 30min. but i usually loot at 20 min just to be sure. incase i've fukd up. Green items is in a bit of a pickle. and i usually loot there after 1m 30s i have hyperspawn addon that tells me when it's about to expire. and seems to be about 1,45

Also i would love to farm MoP Blues with you.

Epics is 1h
 
Same thing happen to me the other day. Crazy it dropped on my 5th or 6th run. Shame its just one lvl req away. On my hpal at lvl 20 it shows 315 dmg for life steal, pretty juicy. View attachment 20072
Are we absolute sure that a lvl 19 cant get BoE epics to drop inside a dungeon?

i've noticed a pattern about world BoE epics, is that at certain levels, even if i'm like level 35, it has a level requirement 1 lvl above what my character is. This only occurs for BoE Epics
I think thats whats happening at level 20.

I've farmed silithus and burning steppes with a few others more than half a year ago, we prob have... 50k+ mobs killed, no epics but we've seen countless examples of LBRD drops- Instanced drops, also in this thread.

Wowhead actually gives up some information... for skullflame it says "World drop (Level 30-50)" and for destiny "World drop (Level 25-50)" This is surely datamined information and not some random that has typed it in. But this level demand isn't the same for instanced content.

But the dungeons we've seen examples from have a level 20 requirement to enter.
Perhaps Scarlet Monastary and Zul'Farrak are dungeons we have to look for and maybe.. get it to drop with a level 19

I think we are almost there with being sure at this point. Skullflame and Hand of Edward the odd are Grandfathered items for lvl 20 twinks as there have been no confirmed drops under lvl 20. There is a comment from a farmer on wowhead saying he hasn’t seen an epic drop post Shadowlands in SM. So like Chops said, go get em tiger. You’re probably better off spamming trade saying you’ll pay millions for a ilvl 28 or lower Skullflame.
 
Atleast do it on a 17-18 thats the closest well get to what we think the level req would be. Wheras theres been confirmed other weapons and shields that scale to req 21. Dropping for 20s. Its the mib levels that matter not your char level. Except from containers.
 
Hi, I've recently read through this thread and become fairly interested in trying to get my hands on some lvl 18 epics (If im lucky enough lol).
I'm currently farming ZF and plan on farming SM a lot. Meanwhile I got a lvl 18 Warden Staff from a Draenethyst Sphere. Is this worth anything or are those epics too overfarmed?

Its not that theyre overfarmed, theyre just not any good. Some people want meme freezing bands but that about it for those epics.
