Anywhere you should get a lvl60 Rare item drop, you have the chance of getting a lvl59 rare item as well.
This includes but is not limited to the following: Sharandar world/skirmish/dungeon drops, Dread Ring world/skirmish/dungeon drops, Icewind Dale world/skirmish drops, Tyranny of Dragons high level zones part of lower level content world drops, and Well of Dragons world/dungeon drops. I would expect CTA events drops to be effected as well.
Whether this is WAI or not, devs will have to decide, but getting a lvl59 rare you can't merge into your artifact is a major letdown. Unless they change it so that lvl59-60 gear can be merged into artifacts, then it wouldn't be much of a bother.
I just made a bug ticket for someone to correct this. I was confused as to why I couldn't refine them into my weapon at first.
From my experience in Well of Dragons... it's ONLY been rare [blue] neck items that have been lvl 59.
In Dread Ring/Sharandar... have received lvl 59 gear but don't believe it was as specific an item as in WoD.
Icewind Dale... I've almost forgotten what IWD is... as much as what drops there.
Been looking forward to upgrading my Perfect Sarcasm font, but due to recent changes it seems I will need to grind the Nine Hells for my Pure Sarcasm font... ironic isn't it?
Think I have received GF Sword/Shield, HR Sword, Helm, Neck, Ring, Belt all at 59 even in WoD. And that was in the past week.

"Pick up"? I'm talking about the reward for participating in the Dragon Heralds once an hour, not something you find on the ground. Oh, and no, I have plenty of bag space and my own style of play, so I can afford to casually pick up the occasional blue 60 and stuff it in my artifact items...thanks for judging me, though.

Sword Coast Adventures as well. I don't think they need to look at separate loot tables by area or event, just tweak whatever is telling the game that level 59 blues are the same as level 60 ones.
I will specify though that affected items are amulets, weapons, and boots. I have not seen any level 59 blues of other pieces at all.
The reason Well of Dragons heroics only award level 59 blue necks is because every blue item from these is a neck, belt, or off-hand (thus has a match bonus for artifact gear from this module) and only necks drops as 59s. Belt and off-hand drops are always level 60.

I got a level 59 blue amulet for an SCA daily reward this morning.
As I mentioned before, any content that can generate level 60 loot also has a chance to give you level 59 rare amulets, boots, and main hand weapons.

The fix was very narrow in scope.
