item level range for drops?

[anagram]

Is there a minimum level you need to be for an item of X level? for example, if I wanted krieg's armor to drop, which is level 94, do I have to be at least a certain level before it drops, or will it drop regardless of my level as long as I kill the 3 individuals who drop it? Thanks.

AFAIK the monster's level needs to be equal to the item's level requirement to drop it. The monster's level is partly based on your character's level but the relationship is different for particular areas and monsters so it isn't simple. I'm not sure when the monster's level gets too high to drop a specific item but that shouldn't happen for items from the highest tier available for that item. Except maybe blueprints. I think.

Drop tables for GD are not simple. At one time I looked into changing drop rates to something more like they are currently... then I decided I might as well spend the same amount of time actually farming and end up with the same or better results.

With my lvl 100's in softcore, I've had krieg's drop from the normal bosses who drop the krieg set, I don't think they were 94. Now that I'm in hardcore, my highest level is 75 at the moment. I wasn't sure if i could start farming for it yet or wait. I guess it is complicated.

You can get the krieg set in elite but will still be level 94.

For specific MIs I'd just check Grimtools. https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/

Looks like Dammitt has enabled the the "Notable Loot" section again and the Krieg set seems to drop from the "Player level 75+" version of the monsters. Maybe those can all appear in Normal; I have no firsthand knowledge of that. Doesn't seem like anything else (difficulty, monster level, etc.) affects the drop rate either.

That is helpful, I'll start farming as lvl 75.
