Hi, all. Hope everyone’s doing well.
I just finished a low level dungeon. I was grouped with randoms, and one of them was a lvl 10 twink arcane mage. They spammed arcane explosion and basically 1-2 shot everything. Upon inspection of their gear, the items they had were way over the top, and they had a ilvl of 40 (whereas mine with heirlooms at level 16 is ilvl 19.)
Anyway–just trying to figure out how in the heck is this possible. Their shoulder gear was an heirloom and it was ilvl 58 whereas mine is 21.
Don’t get me wrong. This doesn’t “bother” me; I’m just trying to figure out what was up with that and how it’s possible.
The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was at the end of the run (that took a matter of minutes to complete), they advertised their ‘10-50 boosting service’ for 10k. eyeroll
There is a few bugs and items with no level restrictions available if you lock exp to level 10
Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, I did notice that they had the XP lock buff. Lame. I mean, if people wanna twink, that’s fine. But that sort of twinking doesn’t seem to be ‘working as intended.’
I don’t know if they nerfed it or not but the Legion end of zone gear you got after completing the dungeon was ilvl50
also the ilvl 58 gear is bugged and was bought on a level 50 character
for example the heirloom cloak you can buy from Boralus or Dazar’alor doesn’t scale down to the level of a character if you bought it on a level 50 and sent the piece to the character
That’s so nutty. I’m looking at their random gear and checking where they come from. Their ilvl 44 rings (they have two) come from a rare in WoD. Gloves (ilvl 50) come from a quest in Legion, chest (50) from a quest in Legion, legs (50) from a quest in Legion.
Like I said–… wouldn’t have given it a second thought if they didn’t spam their advertisement at the end. So lame.

Yea, there were a lot of items that didn’t scale down, artifact relics that didn’t scale down, and other things that were removed from the game / fixed. Those who already have the items get to keep them on their toon.
There are still a few items you can get like this, as mentioned above.

This is usually a good place for items like that. It’s moreso geared towards PvP / twinks.
so what they are doing is trying to min max thier character to the highest possible stats without ever leaving lvl 10, then i gurantee you they will hop into pvp and start oneshotting everyone.
its a poretty popular startagy right now since you can abuse the fact that they removed pvp scaling.
now in pvp you deal damage purely based on the stats of your gear, so even if your lvl 10, you will still end up doing more damage than anyone else in the bg if your gear isnt for lvl 10.
if you want to have the best fun get a MM hunter to lvl 35 lock your xp then farm dungeons till you have all super rare high quality gear then go into a battleground and cast aimed shot.
you will 100% oneshot any player in the bg regardless of thier class or stats

Low level scaling is a bit wonky. It gets normal the closer to lvl 50 you get. Also, this scaling is why I like doing dungeons at low level. Doing 500 dps when everyone else is doing low double digits is so fun to me for some reason.
i went from oneshotting things at lvl 18 to actually having to fight them at lvl 23
its so bizarre how just a few lvls change so drastically now
as a somewhat newer player, and active member of the gay community, bruhh why is a certain player base referred to as twinks? can someone plz enlighten me lmao

im just nutty at the game man.
You can’t queue for PvP as an xp off character. The two twinking levels will be 20 and 50.
Players with xp off can’t queue BG’s with players who have xp on.

ok im only answering this because your the third poerson to say it, you can turn that off anytime you want, and you will still have the same lvl and gear. so then you enter it x3 its really not that complicated im unsure how 3 of you didnt think of this
