I've had two max req 8 drops in my Guild Wars life (only about 17 months* now). One was a white Elementalist focus for Energy Storage, which I merched. The other is a Blood Knife, blue, which I modded to be useful for if I screw up and die when 55hp'ing.

It's all about luck, rather than location. Though both my drops occured in GW:EN areas.

*I swear it was eighteen a week ago >.>

I have a req8 15 (stanced) chaos axe I found in FoW.

I believe max weapons with a low req drop from enemies around lvl 20 (19-21 orso)

My one and only R8 was just after Factions was released from Urgoz.

R8 15^50 Zodiac Axe! (Yes that made me a lot of ectos)

Nearly 3 years of gameplay and my only req8 drop was a blue command Eagle Defender. My paragon has it, but I have yet to mod it...

Find a place that drops gold crap like "x sword, 14-21, req 9 ".

if you farm there enough eventually one will drop that brings that "14-21" to 15-22 just by luck. and that req 9 has a small but possible chance of being req 8.

the higher level the enemy, the lower chance of dropping a req 8 (from my experience)

I got a r8 bone idol the other day from GOLEM nm. (i think)

I've actually gotten an r7 12 energy blue focus in nightfall once. I know people would probably find this hard to believe since r7 are not supposed to be dropped max anymore. I'm pretty sure purple's/goldies dont drop r7 anymore.
R8 max blue shields and foci drop quite regularly though. (i still have a r8 death and prot focus if anyone's interested)

jaymat · Jun 13, 2008, 01:20 PM // 13:20

max gold req 8 drops became seemed to stop dropping as much when nightfall came out

Stolen Souls · Jun 13, 2008, 02:18 PM // 14:18

Almost three years of playing and I have yet to see a max gold REQ8. Only ones I have gotten, though completely usable and perfectly moddable, were a blue Flame Artifact and a blue Healing Ankh...both from CoF.

Wow! That's some serious killing! That's works out to about 463 enemies per hour 24/7 for 3 (a few) months. Okay I know I'm being a smart a$$ but I just couldn't resist

Where do Q8s live?

Kuwait

ShadowsRequiem · Jun 13, 2008, 03:39 PM // 15:39

Most req 8s I got were from factions before NF was released since then I havent gotten a req 8 max dmg gold. Only req 8 fire focuses which are blue with max stats.

2 15^50 req 8 gothic axes :F and plat blade good times.

Orange Milk · Jun 13, 2008, 03:40 PM // 15:40

Nahpui Quarter is a solid place to find those.

Long ago I got a REQ8 Max Celstrial Longbow that was +5e.

I got a req8 AR16 streght Celestrial shield about 3 months ago.
As I recall the one modifier on it was poop so I merched it.

Doing Mayllax about 3 months ago in Normal Mode I got a req7 AR15 Tactics Tall Shield, it was inscribable, so It was sold for 18k.

Thinking back to noob days (ya know the times when you sold Black dye to the merch or Used Mending always) I'm sure that I merched excelent weapons before I understood the importance of Requirements.

ShadowbaneX · Jun 13, 2008, 04:04 PM // 16:04

I think when Nightfall was released (or thereabouts) there was an update that just made max req 8 equipment not drop as often. I think most level 24 mobs used to have a chance to drop them, but this update fixed that, just as there used to be max req 7 equipment, but that was changed back before I started playing.

I remember back during my first summer playing req 8 was the place to be as they were still fairly common. Now they've gone the way of the dodo and req 9s are the standard now.

Dylananimus · Jun 13, 2008, 04:50 PM // 16:50

I get a ton of max req8 stuff when farming...mostly max focus items, and mostly blue :/ Had a few blue max shields, and wands too. I can't recall ever getting a gold one though.

I have a purple max Jade Wand req8 but have no idea when or where I got it. Also have a max gold Celestial Longbow req8...but that was given to me

Max gold Skull Shield req8 with two -2 dmg mods on. Again that was given to me, and none of those are inscribable.

So in essence...no idea where to get max gold ones, but GWEN farming areas drop me tons of blue ones.

kerpall · Jun 13, 2008, 11:21 PM // 23:21

Theoretically max r7's "could" still drop in factions / prophs, just it would probably white/blue. A purple one would probably be like 1 : 1,000,000 or somthing stupid, and gold... 1 : (not enough room for digits).
