Map drops and monster level?
I'm approaching the end of Act 3 Merciless and I'm wondering how exactly do maps drop.
I'm aware that if you are in a level X map, monsters have the same monster level and drop the same level of map, with blues possibly dropping X+1 and rare mobs X+2 because of their higher monster level. How does this work for level 66 maps? Normally I'd figure you'd just farm a level 64 area and hope a rare drops one, but people are suggesting to farm Docks to get more maps which is only a level 62 zone. Rares are only +2 which should be too low for a level 66 map to drop, despite peoples claims to farm Docks until they get more maps. | |
Maps can drop in any level 60+ zone. It breaks the monster-item level parity, but means there are much more areas you can farm maps in.

" Unfortunately, the drop rate can be abyssmal at times. I've gone and done 6 lvl 67-68 Maps with a minimum of 30% Quantity to get one map for my effort ): IGN : Ericaa

"The reason being that Maps are not affected by IIQ. Thus the chance for one to drop does not increase with IIQ on items/skills. | |
