Question for players about drops

[Pokuru]

I'm no where near level 60 yet and I don't have high level grinding experience.

So I wanted to know,

What are the odds of getting those level 60 Legendary gear I see people showing in commerce? What about Great Gems?

How much time does one spend grinding for one of these lucky drops?

I wanna know what expectations I should have.

Very low. You be lucky if you drop one legendary item and even more so to get a good one. 99.99% of the lvl 60 legendary stuff ppl show are boxed items.

However a special with good resists and the right bonus will go a long way.

Great gems are sadly also very rare.

I've dropped legendary gear twice in my whole time playing this game. First was at level 53, I dropped an offhand sword. The second was an elven staff. Both had REALLY good stats. But we're talking two legendary drops in years.. so don't pin your hopes on dropping anything useful. I have dropped a few +15 ele gems, which can be traded for mags in exchange for legendary gear.

To be honest, you've got more chance dropping a decent gem than boxing one. And it's cheaper

the best item I ever dropped was an epic lv 50 staff, 7cs 7int
Ive never dropped legendary and the highest ele gem I dropped was +12 light
(recently got a 24hc gem too)

unless you're extremely lucky (which is just as usefull when boxing)
I suggest you either get a fortune, of xim or mags, or just get good friends/clan

In the years of playing this game, I dropped only one legendary conj bracelt, quite a few magical and epic items, but in term of usefulness not so much, most of time better off using special items with good stats. I dropped some high lvl special +7cs gloves for both conj and lock, and 2 pairs of high lvl +4, +5 as barb leggings.

As for gems, i conside myself very lucky, dropped many great gems, some good ones like as and cs+7 or lighting+15, bad ones like piecing gems and hc gems.

In my experience you will have better chance to drop some great gems than some usefull epic or legendary gears. Gears with good stats combined with decent resists beats lucky boxes a lot of times.

I've grinded many toons to 60 & only dropped one legendary item shortly after they were introduced, & it was while supporting another on conj. It's been my experience & I contend it is true, that drops as a system have had their %'s tinkered with over the last 2 years. Comparing then with now, it is by far no longer as easy to drop & what does drop is noticeably of poorer material quality &/or usually possesses inferior or undesired enchantment bonuses. This also seems to be the case with boxes as well over the same time period. The %'s tend to spit out crap with crap qualities. Simply put, it has increasingly & observably become much, much more difficult & expensive overall to obtain high quality gear with highly desired enchantment combinations of high lvl value thru grinding or boxing. As a result, I refuse to drop-grind or box at all anymore. Period

P.S.: yes, yes, to obi-fay u listen ... get any gears at all near your own lvl that have high slash & pierce resists & make do til better comes along. Tho some may disagree, armor resists are more important imho than bonus enchantments anyhoo'.
