Do rares let us loot them again to obtain better gear at max level?

I think I’ve been able to loot the same rares once I hit max level, but I can’t be sure. Anybody have any insight on this? I don’t want to be killing things that will give me equippable gear once I hit 80.

No, I don’t think so. But their loot caps out at ~554 anyway. If you just want to quickly gear up a fresh 80, you’re better off just buying some Explorer track stuff off the AH than flying around killing the always-up rares.

thats the fake rares that are rares only once per char.

the actual rares drop 571 upgradeable to 593 like heroics do.

it feels a bit weird that all those rares are pretty much useless already, we just started.
theyre gonna have to add more zones and rares soon , i hope.

Pretty sure the ones with a daily loot lockout show up as 80 to leveling characters. I figured the OP was talking about the ones that scale with your level.

Because the “fake rares” as you put it, do only drop loot once per character as far as I know.

I wouldn’t say useless. They drop good crafting mats.

If you killed a rare you have looted it with that character. So you can either get lower level gear or wait until you are max level to kill rares. Some only drop level 80 gear either way, aka the ones with the actual silver dragon around them. They are different.

The rares can give rep once a week I think. If folks are doing the hard core rep grind, they can be useful.

I also think some rares have some unique mog on them for those into mog collecting.

How do you even tell the difference between them? They all just show up the same on my map.
