Question about loot (specifically rattling sceptre)

[LAW | Semi_The_Shadow]

I am running level 15 waystones,

I am seeing in trade rattling sceptres that have level 19 skeletal warriors, but I am only seeing level 18's drop.... so what do I have to run to get those higher level ones to drop?

What are people running to get them, I know if you corrupt a 15 waystone it can go up to 16, then if you run corruption with irradiation that adds another 2 levels so even then I am not getting any of those high drops

Am I doing something wrong or is there an area I am missing?

I think you need to then add the chaos orb

They'll need item level 84 to roll lvl 19 as implicit. So in monster level 82 zones by default only the boss(es) can drop them. There may be strongbox modifiers that allow rare/magic monsters from them to drop it by raising the monster level.

What The_Driver said. T16 Irradiated + Corrupted bosses are your best bet.

That said, all known affixes can roll their maximum values at ilvl 82, so unless you specifically want level 19 implicit skills any Scepter dropped on a T16+2 map is worth rolling on.
