So I can finally flood the sexy drop thread without feeling guilty

Not long ago, I forgot to equip items on a character starting out... so, I put a white tier I sword on it @ level 1 and started a catacomb, and I was 1 hit killing them... I mean... wtf is happening... oh I have Rank 2 in Sword, but that is only 2% EE and I am 1 hit killing them with a WHITE Tier I sword... oh my fudgesickle... this isn't happening and before you know it... I was level 5 and put on my Tier IV longsword I had in my inventory and continued further in the game.

So... yup... Tier I white weapon and 1 hit killing monsters... let us all go out and praise the changes to the game and just throw away those 30+% EE Tier III weapons.

Okay... Sarcasm aside, my post is only research, nothing less.

EDIT: OH... don't believe me... try it out for yourself, it won't kill you to do so.

It would kill me, I can’t play the game without expansive items. Not skilled enough.

Your opinion doesn't matter, you use the best lights in game!!!

Ahh I see where your confusion lies. Okay, allow me to assist.

Tier I = 10% EE = 50% = average shrine
Tier II = 20% EE = 50% = average shrine
Tier III = 30% EE = 50% = average shrine
Tier IV = 40% EE = 50% = average shrine
Tier V = 50% EE = 50% = average shrine
Tier VI = 60% EE = 50% = average shrine
Tier VII = 70% EE = 50% = average shrine
Tier VIII = 80% EE = 50% = average shrine
Tier IX = 90% EE = 50% = average shrine
Tier X = 100% EE = 50% = average drop
Tier XI = 110% EE = 50% = average drop
Tier XII = 120% EE = 50% = average drop
Tier XIII = 130% EE = 50% = average drop
Tier XIV = 140% EE = 50% = average drop

Hey... great explanation, so when a new player comes to play LS... they just shrine level 30 items down... wow... this is the best post ever.

If it's magical yeah. If it's got more properties then it'll sell as a mutable, but just low ee isn't really useful. This is for softcore though, I think maybe 140 ee lvl 55 is still sexy on hardcore?

Well avrg regarding the amount of ee and avrg regarding the items that are getting dropped are 2 different things.

the avrg of 140ee on lvl 55 of the maximum is for sure not the avrg of all lvl 55 items that drop with the mod ee.

these numbers are not distributed evenly, which means that you will find more often 1ee than 279ee, thats for sure

This is false. A 140% Enhanced Effect t14 would not be average by your own math, as the average tier would be Legendary, as normal through unique would be 13 tiers, so tier 7 is the "average".

So in order to hit your theoretical average for the average drop thread, it'd need to be something closer to 140ee, 35st, 35dex, 35int, 7 ML, 7 CS, 700 max life. Or something similar. I believe everyone could agree that such an item is far FAR above the average, and so incredibly rare that even at that "low" ee, it'd go for many thousands of FG.

Once again, you've failed to put any real thought into your assumptions.
