lvl 25s at lvl 20-25 ish (about the same lvl like the well) will bring more drops + a lot of profs. welling lvl 25s at lvl 71 wont bring any profs at all + less drops mostly

In the old days people welled at high levels cause you couldn’t run away and come back. And it didn’t affect drops.


New consensus is to try to well as close to the item level as you can.

I am welling at level 20 using all white items I find for the moment. Tried with level 10 club and almost died because was taking big hits from monster.
Still on fight with that mob, have to kill it else will loose the well and can't advance too far without items to be used for life/mana recovery.

So it doesnt look like a good idea to well higher level items at all, not worth risking that much.

By the way, a friend (rusclaudiualin) wanted to help me with a life charm but couldnt take it as I have to buy it with 1 forum gold.
He told me that right after he placed it on market and neither of us have forum gold. How may I get it still as the item is up on the market for sale?

edit: While posting here the mob almost got his full life back while I was waiting for regen...

Side drops used to be appropriate to your character level, not the item. IE at level 64 you could well a VI item and get XIV side drops

That got patched, and now it's what post #2 said

Well monster is 10 levels above the item so a lvl 20 item is a lvl 30 monster (or at least that's how it used to be).

People start to notice lvl 55 drops @ lvl 62 so thats 7 levels above. I'd say then well 7 levels above the item you well e.g. well lvl 20s @ lvl 27.

This makes sense in theory, but in reality the numbers are a little different. I actually can't justify why this is the case, but it just seems like this...

You will get better drops per wellable if you well optimally 0-1 levels below the wellable, slightly less than optimally 2-4 levels below the wellable, or else still pretty good at 1-2 levels above or 5-9 levels below the wellable. Once you get a lot higher than the wellable, you'll get worse drops but since you kill much faster, it could still be worth it if you are say, burning through a ton of lvl 20 - 30 wellables or something. If you're welling lvl 50s and 55s, I strongly recommend welling at 49 - 50 and 54 to 55 respectively :thumbsup:
