If you whistle at a lower level than your max does it effect your item drop rate?

certainly.

Is there a % drop off?

between 0 and 1 id say dont do it at all.

Just doing some Bufcore, so can't buy higher quality armor and monsters are kicking my arse

Figured I'd drop down a few levels but the item drop seems ridiculous lol

nah just reroll

Second this option. I have re rolled twice before my first MQ on bufcore, was able to find other items that helped to get further.

not to mention 1-x(whereever u currently on) will be faster with the gear you have picked up.

True, thanks for the advice! Really enjoying the Bufcore as opposed to using the same gear over and over again haha

I guess I have been very lucky since I used Guardian, the most restricted class in the game and yet I have found decent Heavy Weapons to use during my climbs.



Yup... I have to use 2 mules to hold the items I find during my bufcore runs and have to constantly delete items in-between tiers with upgrades. Fun finding something that is crap, but decent for the bufcore character to use...
