where do Q8's live?
ive farmed the world over and have BUT 1 Q8 to my name that i cn recall. where do all these 8's come from??? i always thought they were in the tweener areas. areas where the monsters are just leveled enough to drop max weapons but usually dont. stands to reason that theyll drop those border line max items. thus the low req barely max items.
Any ideas on this? any theories?? when i see someone selling 9 q8 rares i begin to think he might know something.

I'm assuming you mean max-req 8. they used to drop more in prophecies I think, and you are seeing people's old collections going on sale.

they are random drops... and their drop rae is extremely low.
i know quite a few people who played from the beginning, and yet to have a q8 max gold item drop for them.

Yea honestly, if I take into account how many enemies I've killed and how much I've farmed.... hold on... Yea, I've yet to get a Q8 drop even though I've killed over 1 million enemies in the past few months.

i guess my question wasnt so much the rarity, but the areas they are more apt to drop. first place that comes to mind is the vermin farm. i see Q8 and rarely a Q7 crenellated sword and celestial items for instance. vermin are what lvl 19??? roughly i dont think there 20's and they drop alot of border line items. see what im drivin at? im just wondering where they are most apt to poop out for ya.

so... first summer GW came out... my [i]first[i] gold drop, fire wand q8 11-22 +3e while hexed.
only one ive ever gotten.
wait thats a lie. q8 arent that rare... ive gotten at least 5, probably around 7 in my 36 months... q8 shields, a q8 hand axe 14^50...
ps: it was a lightning drake in the divinity coast missions i believe... whatever that mission is with the dead bonus guy that was bugged for who knows how long

I got a max inscribable r8 great conch doing hm raptor farming during one of the events awhile back, so I don't think that's true. It wasn't a gold, but I wouldn't think that would matter requirement-wise if there was some sort of prohibition in place that stops req 8's from dropping in hard mode, as many people seem to think there is. And yes, I'm sure it was hard mode, as I was rather surprised myself as I'd read threads that mentioned that idea before and as I hadn't gotten max req 8's in hm myself prior to that.

I got a maxed req 8 Chaos Axe of Fortitude in FOW, but it has no inherent damage mod and it is not inscribable, but I still love it and use it.
I also managed to get a maxed req 8 Ebon Celestial Longbow of Enchanting from Naphui Quarter and it has a built in damage modifier of +15% enchanted, which I use for certain builds.
I don't know what either weapon is worth, but I have a lot of time invested in GW and those are the only 2 that I have found.

I'm not sure if this counts as it is not gold, but i had a r9 inscribable Max purple Storm Artifact drop for me in CoF, while 600/smiting it.

Farming Secret Lair of the Snowmen in HM has got me a handful of R8 weapons.
perma-SF with Sliver works fine for it

I only got one q8 AL 16 shield, that was in one of the factions island missions (in Hard Mode), I believe the estate one, and it was white, so worthless.

The only r8 weapon I've gotten was a good 32 months ago, got a 'perfect' r8 15^50 Shadow Bow as a drop in FoW. Shouldn't have customized it :S
