So I've been heavily farming pre for quite a while now and something is starting to bug me. I realized I've never seen a single max level weapon drop for me.
All of my farming toons are at 19 to keep the imp. So my question is, do you need to be level 20 to get max weapon drops or does my luck kinds suck and these weapons are very hard to come by?

Nahh your level doesnt matter, They are just super rare. For instance, Ive farmed for roughly 874392674876234786432 hours respectively and never seen a max axe, sword, or hammer drop for me. I have only gotten 1 12-20 bow in my whole time here in pre. Some people are more lucky and have gotten multiples and some people are butt cheeks and get nothing. Just keep at it my brotha, Keep killing the charr and either youll get a max drop or have the $ to buy one yourself!

Just always had that annoying thought in the back of my head lol. Figured I would ask at least.

No max dmg drops for me either. Best I got was single modded divine favor rod 9-16...
Buuut, I have a feeling that the loot is better as long as you gain xp from the kills. The best drops I have had I got during leveling at 12/13/14. This might just be me and my perception, but maybe others have similar experiences/feelings about that.

Interesting you said that, the best drops I've ever gotten was between the same levels 12-14 and only time I've gotten charr weapon mods. I also noticed that if I kill too fast or use cupcakes that I get less drops. This could all be BS but just something I've noticed.

ur lvl or xp per kill doesn't matter as far as I know. but to maximize ur chances for a max drop u should avoid killing a large group of charr at the same time/in quick succession to prevent the anti farming code from hindering ur drops. that's why I always found the discussion of which prof does charr runs fastest to be moot; because to maximize ur drop potential u need to space out ur charr kills to prevent the anti farm code from being triggered. so instead of grouping 8 charr and killing them all at once with aoe, use single target spells/attacks to kill each charr individually one at a time. carefully manage ur timing of ur kills then compare the drops to runs where u just kill as fast as possible and u will notice better drop rates for items effected by the anti farm code, which purples are one of.

Good insight for sure, and I have noticed when I ball up a group and aoe them down I tend to get less drops in general. I've grown accustomed to farming charr with cupcakes because of the movement speed alone, because the slower running just drives me crazy sometimes. I've also thought about just farming the bosses over the other charr, rinsing and repeating, even though the other charr drop purple items, they can never be max from what I understand.

I go for the bosses but I also kill the groups of lvl 8s that are on my way. perfect max dmg weapons are so rare that you might never get one; you should eventually get one, but who knows how long you are going to need to grind, I have never gotten a perfect and max dmg weapon from the boss, now I haven't put the amount of hours a lot of other ppl have but I have grinded a lot, so I view myself as either very unlucky or perfect max weaps are very rare, so killing lvl 8s and even the lvl 7s have the potential to drop something of high value

If you just kill the 4 bosses and nothing else you could be missing out on an 18% charrslaying mod which could have been on that q5 9-13 purp bow that charr hunter might have dropped.

Max damage weapons are basically community drops. I consider them "fluke" drops. Only as a community farming them will we ever see a measurable number of them.

I'd say you could easily do thousands of charr runs and not see a single max dmg drop other than wands or staves.

warrior stuff is the most rare I find, but I think bows are a little more common which is what I was referencing, see a few for sale on the forums

I farmed roughly as much as mino across all chars and ive gotten max dmg sword, few staves and wands, even more offhands and one 12-20 bow. Comes with luck I guess, but most of the max dmg weapons i got was merch food, maybe 1-2bds worth. Damage drops for me just fine but mods on them should be on like 11-13 type of weapons. In my opinion its better to find that poison mod on 10-13 sword than on 12-16 one for example...
