According to the internet, maxroll etc. The highest possible level of level one skill charges on staffs and orbs is level 10. However after rotw i have been shopping for charged bolt staffs, and they are all level 11. When the items drops from monsters the level is 10.

Is vendors selling items with ilvls that otherwise not obtainable after the expansion? And if so, is there any other interesting items to be shopping for that contains stats that shouldnt be possible?

maxroll is wrong use amazon basin
however they could be also truncating the charge lvl -> ilvl calculation differently for whatever reason now

Interesting.
Even the amazon basin says level 10 is max.
So either the data there was wrong all the time, either they indeed ninja-patched item generation at vendors or something...

maxroll is wrong about a whole load of shit

you also cant edit the zeal charges level on items

You discovered glitch bro. Make sure to save a bunch of those items

would make sense if its uncapped, since the basin wiki shows charged bolt is
skill level = [(ilvl-1)/9]
charges (im guessing on this formula but it fits all the data points) = [30+slvl*970/256]

Now if ilvl is capped at 99 that gives max level 10 charged bolt with 67 charges
But assuming they goofed and you can shop ilvl 100+ items, at ilvl 100 it becomes level 11 charged bolt with 71 charges.
Do your staves have 71 charges?

They do have 71 charges indeed. And every staff i shop with my 96 warlock with level 1 skills charged bolt, fire bolt or frost bolt is level 11 skills

No change on Life Tap wands, i checked just in case.
