Getting trophys only from enemies that are 5 levels away from you?

Is this true? if it is' i probably have missed my changes to ever getting all of these. Except doing dungeons, but that's wayyy slower than farming them on the normal areas.

    You don't get loot, period, if mobs are more than 5 levels away from you. You get loot if within 5 levels

    This doesn't apply to veteran ranks. As vet rank 1 or 7 or 16, you can still get loot from lvl 45 mob since regardless of veteran rank, you're still considered as vet 1/lvl 50. Anything lower, you don't

    If by trophy, you mean monster collectibles such as Cruel Collar from Jackals or Fleshy Symbiont from Flesh Atronachs, then yes, it is true. You must be within 5 levels, either above or below, for these to drop. It's basically the same rule as for other loot and XP. This is part of why so many of us are upset that those collectibles can no longer be transferred through the bank. It is very easy, for example, to out-level nix hounds, kagouti, and netches in EP zones, only to find there are very few places elsewhere to hunt these creatures. You can no longer create an alt for another shot at the collectible that can be transferred to one character and complete the achievements. As long as veteran ranks remain with us, you can still get drops from any creature level 46 and up, since veterans are technically level 50. Except for a few creature, mostly EP, there are veteran areas where you can get the drops. Check this thread.

    Ah, that helps at least to some degree! I was wondering that since im vet7 now. i can't for example farm at stonefalls since it's vet1 mainly.

    It does seem a bit odd decision to take this away from the players. a bad pretty bad decision imho. I wish i'd known this sooner. I would have spended a lot more time farming in the early days.

    You can get leather from any level mob. That's about it though.
