Guild Wars 2

Has anyone figured out, under what circumstances, would players be getting equip that its level is lower than their actual level? (For example: level 80 playing in a level 6 zone)

Or is it just random? Like as a level 80 he could randomly receive drops that are level 6 or level 70~80?

More than often I do not have the time to check each equips’ level when I picked them up, it’s usually until later I would find a few low level items among many, and I have no idea exactly when did they pop up…

Also, has anyone gotten Exotic drops in low level zones? Their drop rate would without a doubt be quite low, but I have picked up level 80 Rare in low level areas, so Exotic should be a possibility too? :o

You have it correct in that part of your quote there. A level 80 in a very low level zone will receive an assortment of gear.. some lower level, some level 80.

Mostly you will get zone appropriate gear, with a random your lvl bit dropped in as a treat for being there.

And you certainly have a possibility of having exotics drop there as well.

^ pretty much that

You can still. Get exotics from the lowest level zone, but its highly unlikely due to its low drop rate even in level 80 areas. But there are reports where people got precusor weapons in the tutorial area…

I thin exotic would drop from low level meta event chests too.
