When does Mythical Legendary start to drop?

[The Grey]

Hello,

It is my first char reaching level 73 and actually i'm in Malmouth Elite Mode. I've not seen a lot of legendary so far ( Dropped 9 in total since level 1 )

I've got few question :

1. Does Legendary Drop increase in Ultimate Difficulty?
2. Where, How, Why, drop Mythical Legendary?

Thanks in advance

Like most of the game its really up to RNG, sometimes I can get lucky and I get two or three to drop in a session and other times I don't get any. I do know that in oder to get the Legendary crafter to spawn you have to be in Elite or Ult

[gNuff!~©~gNom3™]

in short, kill higher level monsters to get both increased drop chance of legendaries, and even higher lvl monsters for Mythical legendaries

yes legendary drops increase in Ultimate
why? -because higher monster level=better loot drop tables (but chances are still much smaller then other gear -yellow/greens, even blues)

Mythical is just an item modifier, same item, just higher stats, higher stats/modifier means higher level =need higher level monsters to drop
some legendaries have lvl 50 versions, some have lvl60+version some have lvl70+ version some have 84 version and some have lvl90+-94

if a "normal" legendary is 84, if it has a mythical version it will likely be lvl 94, meaning you will need to kill higher lvl monsters to get the mythical version vs the "normal" legendary version

so if a "normal" legendary for X item is lvl 60+ and it's dropping for you now, but the mythical version is lvl84 then it wont drop until you start killing lvl 84+monsters or find extra high level chests

(most monsters stay somewhat within your lvl range, so as you lvl higher the chances auto changes/increase since monsters gets auto higher too)

mythical legendaries drop when u are near lvl 90 i believe. since they are level 94 equipment. legendary drops in ultimate for me like how blues drop in veteran.

Legendaries start dropping at lvl 50. 9 legendaries at lvl 73 is not bad at all. Could be better, could be worse. However I think at a certain lvl you only will get a mythitical ones. I haven't seen any "normal" variant since I reached lvl 85 or something. So I think you can't get lvl 50 legendary item at lvl 90. I could be wrong though.
On ultimate there are higher chances to get purple items because you'll face more hero monsters and overall drop rate seems higher there. But may be that's just because of higher enemies density their level and because you're above level 50 at that point anyway...

Well, it is the devs fault, they wrote the code, the drop system, everything else. But it's the closest thing to a fair system you can do without micromanaging drops, which is not a good thing. If you happen to have bad luck, like me, you just have to deal with it. Better totally random drops than the crap that goes on in some games.

Mythical not only have higher stats. most of them have additional unique stats on top of their increased stats of previous alterations

1) Yes.

2) Mythical legendaries (or new equivalents) start dropping from level 82+ monsters and I think level 82+ areas (in the case of chests). Unless there is a level 80 required mythical/new legendary that I'm unaware of, in which case that would be level 80 monsters and level 80 areas.

And higher level requirements to go with them:

nothing in my statement said they didn't. Notice the "/modifier" at the end? ;)

You've heard wrong.

[GlassDeviant]

If you play normal rather than veteran, the drops rates tend to be lower because there are less hero class mobs to kill. Hardcore makes no difference to drop rates.

Since starting my stream this AM, i've had 6 legendaries. I"ve heard it's extremely random. Not sure about mythicals, havent had one yet.

Higher drops from Treasure troves, i open 500 troves and found 2 complete sets and many other set items. Also i have almost all recipes for legendary gear.
