  • What is your character name in New World: Octavian Gaius
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Bifrost
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: Non-POI/Non-Expedition/Arena Named 60+ mobs cannot drop thier unique legendary named weapons at the correct Gear Score. Example: Dau-Shen the Unstoppable (Lvl 62 - Shattered) cannot drop the Legendary Ice Gauntlet Ever Giving. It keeps dropping in the 500-550 range even through my Expertise is 600. The same happens with other bosses (thier is another in that area that has a different unique named legendary), so a large number of Legendary items that are unique to specific bosses are unobtainable, because in those areas the GS cannot drop higher than 550. This is a major Flaw in the System.
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Negative, I wasted hours killing this boss over and over, to eventually realise that it not possible to achieve. Even though from the drop tables it is clear that this its has a Legendary version.
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No, it is a major flaw in the system. I tried it with Luck and Without and there has been no difference.
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:


Mob level affects gear score of item dropped. :clown_face:

Yes, that it the problem as it was clear the intention was for these items to be able to be dropped as Legendary. Otherwise they would not have the 3rd perk in thier data.

Its in the data because they can change mob levels at will like they did for mrykgard, ebonscale, malevolence areas. So if they ever decide to increase the levels of mobs that area to 65+ you can get 590-600.

easy mode. just make topaz potions unlock the dumb level limit for items during its duration.

there are soo many cool looking stuff that drops sub 589. tons of armor sets too.
