There are a few high level mobs that can be killed. The Drake Broodmother and the Wurm Queen are both high level. I think they are both 24. There are also a lot of wurms before that with high levels.

The higher the level, the more chance they'll drop maxed. All maxed I got where from level 24 and above.

Those that might drop maxed are not inscribable and have have ugly core skins, so they are merchant fodder anyways.

The undead in the catacombs might drop nicer skins, but they are level 18 at most, so maxed ones are highly unlikely.

The more important question is do the ones in the catacombs (which is technically EoTN) drop spears, scythes, because everything there has been uninscribable so far.

That was never possible outside of mods that have very short variable ranges, for example +5 armor mods or +5 energy (conditional) inscriptions.
If a purple focus dropped with a +30 unconditional health mod then there's something really crazy going on here. Screenshot please.

It's happened only a VERY few times for me, I know of others who have had it happen as well. If it happens again, I'll be happy to take a screenshot for you

Nah. The drops have Prophecies rules, so no spears, scythes or daggers.
I got a raven staff with channeling requirement, though.
'Any attribute' staves can drop with ritualist properties, but they are few in Prophecies, being Raven the only one common enough to drop here.

I didn't get any super exciting weapons (did get a max staff wrapping of pruning, though!), but I got one black dye in each of my first two runs, which was cool.

I don't think so since ball hammers can drop everywhere (even in cantha, elona etc) and we haven't seen a purple/gold drop from any of them. They're like the Tribal Axe, Tribal Blade, Hatchet, Rusty Axe and Sickle (tyrian) that can only drop as white/blue.

But I think a gold dwarven hammer might be possible.
