Well... don't I just feel silly!
So, this isn't working as intended, right?

Yeah this happened to me as well. It was also in talos but had nothing to do with the banished pantheon. I was street sweeping with a level 50 for tips and happened to get a converter drop.
EDIT: It was a warrior mob that dropped the converter.
Yep got 1 from a level 20 family in IP on my 50 blaster.
I would guess converters are like tips, they drop from any enemy above a specific level regardless of what you con to them
Just went into Echo of DA to test this, I got 3 Converters:
- After 112 defeats off of a Lt.
- After 369 more defeats off of a minion.
- After 489 more defeats off of a Lt.
It is most likely a bug.

I tend to get more converters while doing TFs then street sweeping in DA or just doing missions... Almost none in trials thus far... after a long night of playing a series of TFs I had like 15 converters on me. Thats Representative of about 8 hours worth of playing around 6 TFs plus some sweeping in DA... IDK what the pool is they inserted these into but I am getting them in all levels of TFs once I hit 50. even when maled down. I have yet to see any drop on a toon that has not yet achieved 50... So I think its prob working as designed... we will see...
Seems to me to be very similar to Shard drop ratios... And same drop quality status as shards. white common... Just have to be alpha unlocked to achieve them. So its prob part of the same drop pool.

That Enhancement Converter's drop from any level enemy is actually not a bug at all. Converters drop from any enemy as long as the character (meaning You) are above lvl10. In fact the drop-rate for them seem to grow higher the lower level you are, especially if you're out of range for purple drops (this is to me very logical).
I will however agree that it's a bit "odd" that they would drop from enemies whos level difference is so great they give -no- other reward what so ever.. but i can't complain ^^
@EU Brimmy - Union and Exalted servers
I received an Enhancement Converter this morning from one of the grey 'ranking' Banished Pantheon that spawn when you summon Adamastor.
This was during the Talos Island Summoning Ritual.
Here's visual confirmation,
This isn't easily reproduced (read: I don't have hours to spend beating up grey ranking enemies) so I can't be sure if this is a very rare occurrence with the Adamastor event spawns exclusively or if grey ranking enemies are actually coded to drop Enhancement Converters. Either way, this seemed /bug worthy.
