Why is it that my VR16 Character fighting VR16 mobs getting anything VR14?
Bad enough I paid for this "PvP" update only to get PvP inabled PvE, now that I try to farm there the mats drop two levels below both my and the NPCs level. Why @ZoS why.

Edit: meaning Enchantments the Armor and weapons drop at VR16.

    Because you don't actually use the drops. You deconstruct them. I don't think you are suppose to be grinding there for drops to use. Just my impressions of IC.

    Oh btw absolutely agree its PvE with PvP enabled... which im gonna guess is what PvP means to eso.

    I thought that IC was limited to v14 drops.

    Dunno...I don't have a character over v5

    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    VR14 you say? That's weird, I'm used to getting VR15 drops in IC and deconstructing them all for rubedite etc. Are you sure it was drops from mob kills, and not stuff that you picked up from racks in the sewer base or from trunks etc out in IC? Those are all scaled to a max of VR14.

    I pick up stuff from racks all the time and decon it. Mostly I get 'you dont have the -*whatever* to learn from / get anything from this item" but even so, I've accumulated a lot of mats, and experience from doing this over time.

    If you're trying to level a crafting skill and you happen to have a lot of green upgrade mats lying around, you can have your crafter (whoever has the passives to use the fewest upgrade mats) upgrade all of the value 0 items you take off the racks. They will then provide tons more inspiration!

    Of course, if you're not sitting on way more green upgrade mats than you would otherwise use, this isn't worth doing.

    I do know about the green trick - but I'm usually down to 20-50 greens between crafting for myself and selling in guild stores, so I'm just gonna have to be patient.

    Sorry I was unclear there my armor and weapons drops are VR16 but enchantments are VR14 and a small chance to get VR15 never got a VR16 one to date.

    You mean runes or glyphs? I'm not sure what you mean here.

    Oh right, the glyph drops - that makes sense. Yeah, your experience matches mine for those. Most are VR14, some are VR15, and I don't remember ever getting a VR16 dropped.

    I was told that the vr16 stones have a CHANCE to drop from the roaming bosses through IC- and only the bosses or "roaming horrors" or whatever you call them.

    You get battleleveled for DLC's, group dungeons and some other solo content that's why you get drops of your level and not V16 drops.

    They made it like that so the content is available for all levels.

    It is a pve update and not a pvp update.

    The glyphs will drop up to v15
    You can rarely get the V16 mats for the v16 version from the random golden treasure scamps that spawn if you can kill them in time. They can also drop the stone to craft glyphs that give magicka/stamina and health boosts on armor at the same time called prismatic glyphs. The v16 mats for glyphs are also sold at the sewer base for 400 TV stones each which is very cheap so don't worry.

    You will however get v16 mats in Wrothgar from nodes if you have the highest skill level for the crafting skillines.
    Still V16 glyphs don't drop I think.

    Once your character is VR16, you will get like zero VR14 drops in IC. I farm IC for hours every day. After a good session, I have an inventory full of VR15 gear I can decon for the mats. It's great.

    I was told that the vr16 stones have a CHANCE to drop from the roaming bosses through IC- and only the bosses or "roaming horrors" or whatever you call them.

    I tend to call them 'Sweepers'; can't recall where that came from.

    The group of folks I tend to hang out with/skype with also has nicknames for some of them:

    "Menorah - head" (floaty lich-dude)
    "Godzilla" (yeah, I know the 'real' godzilla is a boy, but the name stuck before we realized this one is a girl)
    "Maggie" (spider daedra) (can spawn choruses of "maggie may" from certain Beatle's fans who will not be named)
    "Lola" (snakey - lamia like daedra - can't recall what she's called).
    "Reggie" (the flash atronach - and there was a story that went with him, that I totally can't recall)

    All of the various slow walking banner-bearing peeps get called "OMG it's Banner man" even though some are gals.

    I think only Char (flaming ogrim) and the Baron (Grevious) get called by anything close to their "real" names.

    Right now I'm just working on getting the various collectables so I can get more Xivkyn motifs.
