Blue quality and better gear
So far I've only gotten anything better than green quality from boss mobs and the occasional quest. Is it possible to get blue or better items just as a random drop from normal mobs or from chests?
I've gotten some motifs and a recipe, but no armor, weapons or jewelry.

Ah, okay. Thanks. I wondered if it was a level related thing or whether anything higher than green was simply not in the loot table for normal mobs.0

Loxy37✭✭✭✭If you actually managed to get a few hits on those public dungeon bosses then you get blues from those but the bots and locust campers make it hard. Also those world bosses (Skull and Crossbones on the map) also drop blues sometimes.0 -

✭It seems to me I heard that not all blue drops are better than green even when the same level etc... I could be wrong can anyone verify that just because it's a different color it doesn't necessarily mean it's better? Sorry it's early and I can't remember where I saw or heard this.0 -

Same level but rarer rarity items always are better unless they have bad enchantments but they can also be re-enchanted most of the time. However, it goes without a question that a level 15 blue is worse than level 19 green in many cases. The difference is not that significant.
And yes, the rarity is tied to places and level of the places. So 30-40 I saw my first purple, and now they drop semi frequently just like blues started dropping from 16-25 levels.
Legendary items are the exceptions for any level though as they can only be gotten trough crafting and maybe as a rare boss drop, latter unconfirmed and based on my assumption, someone clarify this.0 -
Comaetilico✭✭✭blue drop are better than "similar" green item... that is to say if you take 2 item with the same "effect" than the blue one will be better (higher armor and higher "effect").
The problem lies in the fact that not all dropped item have a reserchable effect (incresed enchantment efficecy, increased armor, and so on...) so if you compare a green item with reserchable trait and a blue item without any than the green item will probably be better (aside from armor... unless the green item have the increased armor trait)0 -
rdj3700✭the way TESOs quality system of loot is this:
white<green<blue<purple<gold = novice<apprentice<adept<master<legendary so if you have two items of the same level a green name would be better than white name, blue would be better than green and so on. Gold named items would be the best.0
