Terror zone item “breakpoints”?

Hello all,
Trying to make sure I have a complete and accurate list of Terror zone “breakpoints”. I’ll update this post if I learn anything new.

Character lvl 83 (TZ lvl 85): champion packs and uniques can drop all unique and set items in the game.

Char lvl 85 (TZ 87): All enemies can drop all uniques and sets in the game (what about chests?).

Char lvl 87 (TZ 89): uniques and champion packs can drop 45 life GCs.

Char lvl 89 (TZ 91): all enemies and chests can drop 45 life GCs. (All amulets dropped can be used in crafting by the lvl 89 char to make +2 class skill amulets at this point also, correct?)

Char lvl 91 (TZ 93): terrorized act bosses have dramatically increased odds of dropping TC 85 and 87 items.

Char lvl 94 (TZ 96): max Terror zone level reached.


Is this list more or less complete? Also, when you hit level 91, supposedly terrorized act bosses drop a lot more TC 87 items. But what about NORMAL enemies and champions/uniques? Do you get any more TC. 87 from them as you level up, or once you unlock the possibility of TC 87, does the probability stay fixed? It impacts a grailer/mf hunt a lot if TC87 becomes more and more common as you level up, or if it just stays fixed.

Normal chests & poppables, yes. Super chests follow their own rules though.

No, you need char level 90 (TZ 92) for this due to rounding. When determining the result ilvl of a craft, you take half the char level and half the input ilvl, but both are rounded down before adding, so 89/2 = 44.5, which is rounded to 44, and 91/2 = 45.5 which is rounded to 45, so the total is 89 and that's too low.
