Kook~NBK~ · May 20, 2008, 03:42 AM // 03:42

Well, I've gotten just as many REQ7 and REQ8 gold max weapons in pre-searing as I have anywhere else.

(And I've been playing for 3 years, as well, so I feel your pain!)

Lynyrd Skynyrd · May 20, 2008, 03:43 AM // 03:43

You won't farm one.

If you want to waste your time, farm Vermin.

Pleikki · May 20, 2008, 04:14 AM // 04:14

No more QQ:s pls. I havent got any gold maxed q7-8 neither but i dont care.

i dont think you will faind q7 but Go eotn vanq do hm dungeons loads insc q8 shields drop ^^

StormDragonZ · May 20, 2008, 04:16 AM // 04:16

You have just the same amount of a chance of me getting a Q7 or Q8 anytime soon.

In the end, it's one's luck to determine fate...

Toutatis · May 20, 2008, 04:47 AM // 04:47

If you want a q7 or q8 max gold, keep on looking. They exist but they're extremely rare, so anybody who finds one is extremely lucky and also extremely unlikely to get another one in the same location. Just keep killing every monster you come across and with a little luck, you should come across one eventually.

Bottom line is: you might get one from your next drop, or you could wait another 3 years for one, but you'll find one eventually. Just go about your daily business in-game, keep your fingers crossed, and pray to Lyssa to grant you a little extra good fortune

i got a purple r8 inscribable max shield. does that count?

KartMan · May 20, 2008, 08:08 AM // 08:08

req 8 insc stuff, you can get them pretty anywhere in NF and Eotn (both in NM and HM), keep killing stuff massively, good spots would be raptors, vaettirs etc
I also got one from a chest (I think it was in kourna zone NM), I don't think you could get req 8 from HM chest though.

now uninsc stuff :
req 8 : I used to get many in NM, either chest or monster drop, but I must admit that it has been a long time since I got a req8, probably because I don't play in NM anymore, my guess is that you could still get them in some low-mid level areas, such as kaineng city etc

req 7 : never got one max, got a few non max weapons, try to kill low-mid level monsters, from level 15 to level 20 (?)
keep in mind that even if you do that, chances that you get a max req 7 will still be extremely low

good luck !

on second thought, never mind, i r paranoid. but bleh, have a lot of req8 max gold bow.

hippo942 · May 20, 2008, 08:09 AM // 08:09

They wouldnt be rare if everone got them

Luminarus · May 20, 2008, 08:20 AM // 08:20

I havent either, and I have over 3.5k hours. So basically, you wont. Get used to it.

I also have never had a drop worth more then 40k, yet I still make more then enough money.

Raku Clayman · May 20, 2008, 08:40 AM // 08:40

I have a few non-inscribable Req 8 15^50's all gotten in the first year of the game, including a Storm Bow, gotten in UW and a Chaos Axe, gotten from FoW. When GW started the Green drops, which were all Req 9's, the frequency of Req 7's and 8's dropped to almost nothing. Req 9 seemed to be the standard. I haven't seen a Req 8 in over a year and all Req 7's are less than maxed out.

I can't confirm this, but, if they exist I would think that they would show up in Tyria. I've been exploring those areas myself to see if something good drops for me.

GWEXTREEMFAN · May 20, 2008, 10:17 AM // 10:17

i thaught max q7 don't drop anymore or did i miss something

Sekku · May 20, 2008, 11:31 AM // 11:31

Haha, playing for two and a half years, never seen a gold drop other than a salvage with a rune.

Commander Ryker · May 20, 2008, 12:02 PM // 12:02

I've been playing for 3 years and I have yet to get a max req 7 or 8 anything.

The Red Messenger · May 20, 2008, 12:04 PM // 12:04

Fastest way to get your first Q8 gold is to farm ectos, and then to powertrade until you get into that range of richness, eventually people will sell you theirs. I have'nt done this yet, because i lost interest in skins/high-end rare drops when they announced GW2 was in the making. (other than selling ones i might find to help fund titles)

Paul thy god · May 20, 2008, 12:14 PM // 12:14

I have had a few blue max req 8's, but most i didn't realise about till i merched them

Miss Puddles · May 20, 2008, 03:56 PM // 15:56

i have 2 req 8 max gold bows (storm bow and eternal bow) and a req 8 chaos axe, all non-inscribable.
storm bow came from an uw chest, and eternal bow and chaos axe i think dropped in fow. i've had them forever and haven't gotten anything decent max req 8 since.

Arduin · May 20, 2008, 04:25 PM // 16:25

I got a max req 8 Shadow Bow from NM FoW, about 2 years ago. Never seen one drop since.

Shadowfox1125 · May 20, 2008, 04:45 PM // 16:45

Don't waste your time farming one. Instead, go buy one--you'll never get one otherwise.
