Normal/empowered drops

Do all of the unique and set items from an area drop on empowered as well? Or does empowered have a different table?

Hey there.

So there are two general distinctions here:
Random drops
Boss specific drops

Random drops can drop in every area, that at least has an area level equal to the item.
There are no random drops that can only drop in empowered.

Regarding boss specific drops there are indeed items that can only drop in empowered.
Generally speaking every Monolith Boss has 3 type of loot tables:

  • Guaranteed drops (not affected by %Inc. Item Rarity)
  • Uncommon drops (can drop in normal, affected by %Inc. Item Rarity)
  • Rare drops (can only drop in empowered, affected by %Inc. Item Rarity)

There are a couple of special cases like the Shade Of Orobyss, which has loot tables based of corruption, so it’s not directly linked to normal or empowered, but since empowered has a base corruption of 100 and no ceiling it indirectly does affect its loot table already too

TL:DR: yes there are empowered exclusive boss drops

Thank you for all of that valuable information. I greatly appreciate it. One of the questions I still have however is are there loot drops exclusive to normal mode that are not available in empowered?

No. Anything that can drop in normal can drop in empowered.

Thank you kindly for all of your help

To add a small amount of pedanticism to Heavy’s comment, there’s 1 drop that requires a minimum corruption of ~50 so it can drop on normal, but it’s not particularly likely given increased corruption increases the drop chance.
