Upon rereading your original post, that’s a fair question and no, no-one answered it directly.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: Anointed is one of the first nodes unlocked by everyone. All it does it removes a level requirement for things to be used. It doesn’t remove their actual level, if that makes sense. It doesn’t impact drop rates at all. And everyone has given you sufficient information to obtain Petrified Screams now. Good luck!
