The recipe is at the level of the player you defeat. I've heard that you have to be +/- 3 levels from the person you're fighting to have a chance for a drop, but I don't know it that's still true with the most recent changes.
@Roderick
Most people get PvP recipes below lvl 20 from duels, a while back on this section of the forums some guy was trying to sell lvl 14 Pancea recipes.
But yeah the lvl of the recipe is the level of the guy you killed. Which is why I rage when the only drop I get is from some lvl 41 stalker trying out his sharktro's in RV.
@Psycho Jas
conversely, if you are on a low level and kill a higher level your recipe will be your exact level.
Ok, so last night a friend wanted to test his level 41 build against me. Since I had no toons at the same level I grabbed a 50 SO'd blaster and headed to the ghost town (aka warburg) to even out the levels. Just so happens that I got a pvp drop on the first kill. Checked it and even though he was level 41 the pvp recipe was level 50.
Seems there's more to this than some of you originally thought.
I always thought it was the person who gets the kill's level determines the IO level. Then again I've gotten 0 recipes in the past 160 kills, so I'm trying to figure out why.

As stated by others, If you are exempted down and kill a lower lvl toon you will get the pvp io at your natural level, you were 50 so you got a 50. If your friend had gotten the drop the recipe would have been at his natural level of 41.
Rod is correct that while you can easily farm kills using the arena if you have a great then +3 spread on the characters you have a 0% chance for a drop (you should notice that if you are killing a -3 or great character you will not get any rewards: no influence, no prestige, no insp and therefore you do not get any chance for the RNG to roll for a drop).

From one of the previous posters I was lead to believe that the level of the recipe would be the level of the player you defeated. Since I don't normally pvp with toons under level 50 this is indeed good news.

Then how are players getting PvP drops from a 41 when they are 50? Or is this +/-3 rule for the Arena only, and not zones?

Just my opinion, feel free to disregard...
the +/- 3 only applies to arena, all the zones have specific lvls you fight at
in a zone when i got the drops, i was on a lvl 41 and i killed a lvl 50 friend and i got a lvl 41 drop (we both were 38 because we were in warburg)
but the lvl of the pvp IO is based on your actual lvl, regardless of the person you kill
Quick question.
What is the lowest level PvP recipes.
I used to do a lot of level 4 PvP FFAs, just wondering if PvP ios would drop from those matches

recipes in general don't dont below level 10 so I would think the same is true for pvp recipes
I was wondering, how do you get lower level pvp recipes? Personally, I've never gotten any and don't want them (unless its a proc) but I'm not really sure how they are dropped.
For example, do you get a level 38 recipe if you're a level 50 fighting a level 38 in a place like sirens call? Or will you only get a 38 recipe if your toon is level 38? I'm not sure if it depends on your level or the level of the player you defeat, or even some unknown factor that I haven't thought of.
Does anyone know exactly how it works?
