Treasure chests drop loot that is UNSCALED, i.e. Now how to get these items to drop for you.ĭue to the conclusions above, I can say that chest farming is THE most efficient way to farm these items. Therefore my theory is that ALL +5 ilvl items, up to ilvl 54, will be BiS up to level 49 (excluding blues and purples). If the items scales, it will not be BiS because it only gets +3 item levels(ilvl 42). This means items like Cabalist Cloak, Champion's Cape, and Tracker's Belt will be Best in Slot(BiS) for level 39, because they were originally +5 item levels above 39(ilvl 44). Examples include the following drops on both 39,43, and 44 characters:

Therefore given an item that is sufficiently far from your optimal item level(for 39s that would be ilvl 44), an item will instead scale in increments of 3. This means that items WILL NOT scale to req. Working from that assumption, I have come to observe that the items will scale in increments of 3 from the original item level, based on the level of the character that received the item. Best reason I can come up with for this is has to do with the items ORIGINAL item level.

These observations apply to all green BoE's in the 1-49 bracket(and potentially beyond).įirst off, let's begin by saying MOST greens DO NOT drop as req. Here is a Wowhead search listing ALL BiS greens for 39's.
