Is familiar drop rate affected by level?

I'm curious about this, but I've never been able to get a straight, clear answer. If I should hunt a monster more than 21 levels below me, would the drop rate be negatively affected, or will it cause the familiar to NEVER drop? Thanks in advance for answering!

@Kazno:

Makes sense though I wished the normal mob had a higher drop rate for them

They're USE items, that's why you still get a bunch of potion drops but not anything else from low leveled mobs, it isn't effected by your level. Higher leveled monsters have lower drop rate because well, they're higher leveled lol and shouldn't be easy to get.

Hmmm, I'm gonna take advantage of this. I thought I was gonna have to leave my luminous at 8x to acquire big spider familiars.

[quote=AfroLeader]It does. The drop penalty is applied to all else other than quest and party quest items. Might've missed a few obscure things but familiars are definitely affected.[/quote]

Not really sure. I hunted for my Big Spider Familiar at level 17x and it didn't seem to take all that long (got 3 cards in 30~40 minutes?).

^Scratch that:

Apparently I'm wrong. I trust him since he has so many.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with level. I've hunted at big spiders at level 150 during 2x EXP/DROP and I got a card within 10 minutes or so
