Dungeon Defenders: Loot

[Silk]

Can anyone explain to me how the loot system works?

I played it at the LAN and for some reason on every single level, "level 1" loot was dropping. Then after the LAN I tried it solo on my highest character (around 20+) and still only "level 1" drops. I don't see the point of the game if I can't get upgrades at all?

Am I bugged or missing something important? I know you can upgrade weps but I thought you could also get nice drops that might replace an upgraded item.

Tried various levels and difficulty settings and sp/mp all with same outcome.

You sound bugged, When we were playing loot dropped for everyone in the group of various levels.

depends what you mean by level 1, any loot that you meet the requirement for doesn't show a required level.

all items start at level 1 upgrade and can be upgraded a certain amount of levels per weapon.
this can be done in the defenders forge.

thinking of DD, i should actaully try finish it. got the the 2nd last level then got a bit stuck

I mean like this:

Every single item suffixed "Lvl 1"

If that is just the upgrade level, how do you find out the actual item level?
