I know that the chance of finding an item from a monster lowers as the difference in level between the player and monsters grows.
The highest level monster to be summoned is 70 but the player level can still grow.
So, would a level 80 player have a lower chance of getting an item from the monster than a level 70 player?
Just wondering if the formula is different for this special case.
If this is true I guess we should be dying on purpose at level 70 to prevent leveling up if we have hopes of getting items.

Yes, the drop rate significantly decreases at level 71 and beyond. I've climbed up to 77 or so before and it was dramatic. And the higher you get the worse it gets as well.

And dying at level 70 on purpose is a terrible idea. If you're going to die at any level then do it at 64 (if you're welling - 65 if you're not) but that's still dumb in my opinion. Just get to 71 and MQ then climb again. I've consistently found that to be the best way to find good items.
