Hi,

just wondering regards max q8 drops - are these the sort of thing you would mainly expect to drop in Normal Mode?

Hard mode always seems to be max damage drops but q9 upwards...

I am not sure if that is true.

I have had q8 longsword drop in HM nf bout 2years ago

They don't 'happen' in hardmode.

They only 'happen' in places which have monsters under lvl 20.

definately wrong! I had a req8 command shield drop for me in Cathedral of Flames HM while running it about six months ago.

I also had a q8 AL 16 gold shield drop for me in Magus Stones from the lvl 20 wind riders. Just a week ago.

I've had them drop from level 20 foes in normal, and up to level 30 in hard mode. They are just uncommon. They can drop in both normal mode and hard mode.

Drop from foes and NM chests. In NM r8 and r7 are common but max damage or AL ones are harder to find .... at HM is just the opposite , most drops are max damage and AL but r8s are harder to find. FYI my 3 r8 drops ( tall shield , spatha and ornate bucker ) where in HM ( HoS Dungeon , DDepths and i think Glints Challenge ).

EDIT: I could have mixed up with max req7 weapons from back in the days though.

Take it easy bro. Like I said, I could have mixed up with the info on req 7 items before they changed the item generator. There was a post here on guru about a player farming specific areas with creeps level 14-19 or something to get max req7 items.

I removed the bullshit.

Seconding this, just last night in Ravenheart Gloom HM I got a r8 Tactics Sun and Moon Shield. It was white though QQ, I can't even imagine what that skin would fetch in r8 Tactics.

Anyway, I've had several r8 max and inscribable things drop, some have been in NM, some have been in HM. It's just really, really random.

Pleikki · Jul 03, 2009, 03:37 PM // 15:37

They drop everywhere in normal and hardmode, its just rare random drop.

Helix Dreadlock · Jul 03, 2009, 03:39 PM // 15:39

Easy.

Get q6's in pre-searing lol

did you want max drops, or no?
