Demon Hunter quest reward low level?

I don’t know if this is related to the supposed level disparity with Legion relics and whatnot…
but a friend and I were levelling our new Demon hunters through the whole starter quest area for DH. all our gear was, pretty much, the appropriate level for our level (I think we were in the high 30’s?)

halfway through the DH quest chain, we got blue weapons, normally those would be an upgrade… but their level was 6. Yes, six. We, at that point, already had high 40’s green quest rewards as weapons.
Shouldn’t a blue quest reward have given us an upgrade?
Every piece of gear we were getting from quests as we advanced through the zone were upgrades to some degree or other.
But those weapons were… a MAJOR downgrade.

DHs start at lvl 8 and their starting zone takes them to around lvl 15-16. If you’re lvl 30 you probably made the DHs before the level squish and that random lvl 6 blue you got was most likely because it was scaled to what your level SHOULD be for some reason.

if you made it before the squish it would be 38 or something
because you started at lvl 98

ahhhh, yes, we had created the DHs before the squish but hadn’t gotten around to starting the DH starter quests yet.

So that explains it, I guess.
But then, why were all our other quest rewards upgrades?
Wouldn’t they also have been in the level 10-ish range?

Where did you get the weapons? That might answer it. Was it from a chest? The DH starting zone has multiple chests scattered throughout it and some give blue gear I think, that could have been it.

I’m pretty sure it was a reward from a quest.
like at certain high-points in the quest chain you get a blue item.
you start out in green gear, and that all gets replaced as you do the quests, the different areas.
so we started out with the default green DH glaives, and then at some point later on after a boss fight, we were awarded blue glaives, which normally would hvae been a big upgrade from the green items we started with.

I’m starting to think there are some minor bugs that still need to be ironed out with regard to all this stat squish and starter zones and stuff!

Yeah that’s weird. It’s probably just an unintended bug with the whole being level 30+ when you shouldn’t be thing.
