dont feel bad man i haddnt heard of them till about 2 months ago and i have been playing for 16months

I have had a req8 Celestial Bow ever since Factions came out

Req 8s have always existed. Req 7s also USED to drop, but have since not appeared. So far, there is no known confirmed req 7 max inscribable weapons (although one of the developers claims they exist, they might have misunderstood the question).

if u have a maxed weapon that is gold and req 8 or 7 it becomes much more expensive to

I started a thread a while ago to test if req8 gold max items still dropped, and not one piece of evidence could be provided that they do.

Myself and some of my friends are very hardcore farmers when we want to be, and not one person I've asked has seen a gold max req8 item drop for months.

As far as all actual in game evidence suggests, req 7+8 gold max items no longer drop.

If anyone could provide a screen shot of a req8 max gold dropping with a current skill bar or other on screen element as proof alongside the drop in the chat log AND the cursor hovering over the just dropped item showing the stats please let me know.

Still good though... unless they have no inscription slot.

itsvictor · Apr 08, 2008, 01:42 AM // 01:42

those are actually quite good if they have a nice inscription slot...you're not going to miss out much on 1 al,fetch a nice penny

Witchblade · Apr 08, 2008, 12:16 PM // 12:16

gold ones?

Rushin Roulette · Apr 08, 2008, 01:13 PM // 13:13

Ive had one or 2 r8 inscribable blue offhands drop (yes, I do mean max energy ones). They do drop, but as people have said, they are extremely rare.

I also have a golden r8 FDS (non inscribable though im afraid) <-traded ingame

and golden r8 Oni daggers

Max Damage r8 items do exist and still do drop, they are just extremely rare.

Jestar · Apr 08, 2008, 01:39 PM // 13:39

Inscribable R8 Items DO exist.

Friend of mine got a shield of the wing in CoF a while back.
I have a photo, but I cbf editing it/ hosting it.

Yeah. For some reason, people get really confused with the rarity difference between req 7s and req 8s

I remember seeing a thread here recently with a req 7 drop screenshoted on it (cant seem to find it under search - but then i might be missing it) it was a gwen item i think so it was recent.

As for max damage req 8's i can personally confirm they still drop i got two max damage req 8 (blue) offhands drop for me over the last week or so!
