Hey guys,
Before I get into the issue I'm having, I must explain that I'm at 280 power exactly, and all of my equipment has legendary mods on them.
So, a few friends of mine who play the game, started getting their legendary/rare item drops at base 273 power when they were around 278-279 power. I reached that power, and still my drops were only at 270 power. Now I just made it to 280 power by acquiring legendary mods randomly from turning in gunsmith parts, yet [b]I'M STILL[/b] getting my legendary and rare drops at 270, while a lot of my friends are getting theirs at 273. What am I doing wrong? Or what are they doing right?
Best,
The_Mhael

Your drops are based on your lowest level item, not your average power level of all unmodded item levels combined. Example: you have all but one armor / weapon in power 295, with +5 mods in it. The one lower armor part you have is 280 with no mods. Every single drop you get from normal blues, purples and yellows are 27x-280, untill you upgrade that last item with lucky yellow higher level drop, of from Powerfull weekly engrams. I know, this sucks because sometimes you have to wait for weeks before that (-blam!-ing random) Powerfull engram upgrades that last item.
