Yesterday is was leveling a character and got into Draenor and it scaled to 50.
Today I’m completing quests and noticing XP is not the same as previous. checked and noticed all mobs are turning green and capped at lvl40.
Looked at the map and now each zone/expansion has a level range?
Is this intended? Did I miss some sort of update or patch notes regarding this change?
you have to be in that chromie time for it to go to 50 now. otherwise it caps below
Yes, it’s intended. Mobs in previous expansions only scale to 50 through Cromie Time. Just going there manually has the “normal” level-range scaling.
Interesting, didn’t realize that I wasn’t in that.
Thanks!
Also … I discovered in leveling an alt to 50 recently that the quests in the chromie time zones have capped rewards at level 50 with scaled stats. That is – the quest itself will tell you that the gear will be level 56 with certain stats, and then when you choose it, and inspect it in your bag, it is level 50, with lower stats accordingly. This will start to impact you in the later 40s. You can go to BfA at that point, however, and the gear there scales normally and is (obviously) not capped at level 50 the way it is in the chromie zones.
not your fault the leveling system is a complete mess now.
