My friend who is not power level 650 has gotten red items from emperor champion vaults before, and those items are power level 300. This was also in chaos wastes, don't know if that accounts for anything. Additionally. It would seem the red he got does not really effect the rate at which his power level is increasing. He only really tested it for like 3-4 boxes, but it still seemed to jump 1 or 2 power level every other box or so.

@ThePartyKnife

Yes that is true. Whenever you do obtain a red item before reaching 300 item power it counts whichever is the highest item power you have for that slot that isn't the red item. I think this is so that you can still get lucky and obtain a red item without that red item also being a MASSIVE shortcut for reaching 300 item power with the rest of your items. Should have probably mentioned that bit so I appreciate the comment! :)

@@peterleblanc661 Same here last month. Got level 35, opened some commendation chests, got red item, next chest was about +20 power. I think I was somewhere around 220 power. Even if I was at power level 1, a lucky red would only raise it by 60, so I don't think there is any point in making reds not count towards the new item power level, especially considering how unlikely such scenario is.

I am convinced there is an algorithm that increases the drops of red items if you haven’t played for a while. Ya know, to entice you back in. I could sit and play Legend all day and get ten emperor/generals vaults and get nothing. But when I leave the game for a few weeks, my first game back rewards me with a red item off champion difficulty or something. Either that or I’m just paranoid. 😄

Funny thing is I've had (sorta?) the opposite experience. I always had this feeling that if you just started opening boxes you would get nothing but if you played/won a game and stayed in that lobby and opened chests then I felt like my luck increased. xD However despite this all too human feeling I am also well aware of the fact that people tend to seek and find patterns in the world and most likely this feeling I had was just that, a feeling.

I might have missed this but do I have to have the highest level items equipped or does it count from the highest I have had. I know that it keeps track of the highest item you’ve had but island if I have to have everything equipped for it to work. On a similar note do I count the average of the items I have on me or the highest I have in my inventory?

What's the formula you used to calculate the average drop power of 102.5?

What is the name of the mod that changes the crafting menu?

I have noticed that I get reds out of Commendation chests more frequently than Emperor/General loot boxes, but I still could have sworn that I got a red drop from something as low as a soldier's chest.

Don’t hoard your crafting dust like this guy. Use it often, run it dry and make the best items you can on your quest to the veteran items. There is a time when you max char level and don’t find veteran items so you might as well make and roll items that are near perfect so you’re not getting antsy to find the best, you’re making them.

It's hard to call it pay to win when Cata is significantly harder. A no-book Cata run is much harder than a full-book Legend run - the only times it isnt is when you have crap allies from randoms. I dont think theres any issue in Cata giving better loot - I would just give a agyranteed emp vault on Cata success, just so that people dont start hunting for books on Cata as well and ruining the experience.

@Papa Joe The box was one you get from the achievements. I don't remember my power level, I must have been around 200 item power. If you read carefully what I wrote, you might notice I said that I had started playing not long ago, therefore I was (and still consider myself a bit) a beginner. I explicitly said it, so you calling me a leech because I don't know stuff about the game is a bit dumb from you. I was just reporting that I had received orange items while not being lvl 15. The end. You should pay more attention and throw less assumptions. In case I'm missing a point, you're free to explain it yourself.

Pretty new to the game myself, sitting at 190 hours right now. So the basics are very appreciated. I haven't counted my chests sadly, but I've gotten 5 reds in the time, and none of them I acquired before switching to legend difficulty. I'd also like to point out that completing a Chaos Wastes run gives you at least 2 emperor chests, and a 3rd if you scored well enough. Seems like a great way to farm reds, especially because your gear stats do not matter for this game mode. :)
