item scaling

So i am doing 100+ and still getting items at level 41 and 50, no scaling at all? with D3 and Path of exile items scaled so much better

You are either not playing a high-enough expedition, or you are looking at the wrong number. Chances are, those are the character level requirement for equipping them, not the actual item level.

Item level appears to be something you have to enable in settings (it's off by default). From what I've seen, item level 110 is where you start getting the best possible rolls.

Doesn't look like higher item level helps at that point (correct me if I'm wrong!). The ideal farming level is probably Master 115, since evidently that's where you start getting the best gems.

For gems 115+ (I'm uncertain if gem drops becomes more frequent at higher levels but it feels that way)
For gear/crafting you want your folks to come back with Item level 151+

At ilvl 151 you elliminate all chances for tier 8 and 9 rolls, there is no way to eliminate tier 10 and 11, so other than bragging rights there is no real benifit of farming or craft on items higher than ilvl 151.

Edit: sorry Armor caps at 161. The more you learn...

Ah, thanks for that! :)

Don't thank me to early, apparantly armor caps at 161. (I was looking at weapons and trikets at the time of writing), sorry.

Still you are wery much able to roll all T-12 rolls at 110+, just that you got up to 8 tires to roll on instad of the top 3. (needless to say your odds for top rolls are way worse)

Currently doing 120+ with the same result, have never seen a ring, shield or catalyst that drops above level 50. Didn't know about the item level in the settings and will look for it but this current time I've stopped playing as much because the grind is starting to frustrate me. Currently stuck around the 130 mark and hoped that exotic purples get better but I've sadly been disappointed

There are actually only 16 tiers being reached at some where around 70+. So the item scaling actually stops at tier 16 while the affixes continue to scale at a set rate so those numbers will increase, so there will be an extremely low chance of finding something better since you are min maxing after passing tier 16 items

A good note is the spawning structures are actually set to your level so anything that drops from them are of lower level.

I have reached endgame and don't understand item scaling the adept expeditions difficulty forces me to do level 41 expeditions and I am level 50. The simple expeditions are level 51 and bosses are extremely hard is the scaling off in this game it feels way off for a lot of bosses.

yep its this way when u play random stuff, without understanding game mechanic etc, just do some research about the game, and then all the endgame content will be easy
