i was wondering/searching where do people farm those rare q7-8 weapons.
does gw still drops them?
sharing is good

Supposedly req7 can still drop, but a max req7 drop hasn't been recorded in ages.

As for req8, at least inscribable, shields are the most common, followed by off hands and then swords. So I would suggest somewhere with lots of warriors...

However, farming req8's is like finding a needle in a haystack, you're far better off doing a "normal" farm and just buying the low req weapons from other people.

What he said, I have been playing this game (alot of hardcore farming Deep, FoW, UW, DoA) for 2 years now with alot of hours logged.

In all this time Ive "seen" 1 REQ 8 gold item drop. A Zodiac Scepter, not for me!

I have had Armor 16 REQ8 blue inscribable shields drop, but never gold ones.

Rothan Celt · Nov 20, 2008, 03:11 PM // 15:11

ive seen a R8 enternal bow

but apart from that ive never seen another req 8 and as for recorded R7 drops where can i find these? Im just curious.

GWEXTREEMFAN · Nov 20, 2008, 03:16 PM // 15:16

you'll find them anywhere...

that is of course if you are willing to dedicate your life to find one, or if you are one bad *ss lucker

there too rare to bother farming,just farm somthing else and buy r8s.

Pleikki · Nov 20, 2008, 03:49 PM // 15:49

hmm yeah quite rare drops, havent got single Max r8 gold drop since factions release and maybe 2-3 Blue r8 max drops (shields,offhands) .. before factions found few r7 & r8 though

viper11025 · Nov 20, 2008, 04:15 PM // 16:15

Best r7 I've seen, since day one, is a 15-21 White sword.

So, your better off buying them, which is a waste, or just waiting till you get lucky.

only low req ive ever gotten was a q8 old school perfect smite staff, and that was before factions came out. This was at the beginning of my gw playing career, and i had no idea what it was worth ;p

snoozer80 · Nov 20, 2008, 08:05 PM // 20:05

I identified over 3220 golden items across all characters and never get max q8 weapon. I only got q8 blue offand and purple shield for paragon. If anybody could tell me what to do , to get any q8 gold inscr iteam i would be happy

dilan155 · Nov 20, 2008, 08:47 PM // 20:47

your better off farming normal stuff than farming low req items req 7s havent been recorded in ages now. there are some req 8s but they are fairly rare.

Rak Orgon of Beowulf · Nov 20, 2008, 08:49 PM // 20:49

i got a purp q8 insc crude sheild from CoF
but farming specifically for those is a waste, might as well farm ravagers for ecto XD

Req 7 and 8 still drop as I know a person who got a req 7 max focus recently that was purple in tyria. The req 7 items hardly ever dropped in higher level areas. I suppose if you really wanted to farm them which isn't all that easy and not really profitable your best bet would be nahpui quarter chest running in normal mode. That location has spit out more req 7 items than any other I know simply because everything is at the right level and it use to have an insane amount of chest runners cycling through it hence why celestial is one of the more common req 7 skins. If you simply want to obtain one for your collection I suggest you farm something else and buy one from someone like me or other higher end traders. If the item is even partially usable expect 100k+ value.

Before NF came out I got a Rq8 perfect 20/-5 30hp Outcast shield drop, Best drop Ive ever gotten. I got that from a chest beside Jaqui in Gyala. Kept on rezoneing until that same chest (location) came up again and then got a Req9 Perfect Embossed aegis. (Worth alot at the time)
I actually thought there might be something to this. Chests that spawn with bosses. Unfortunately a couple of weeks later Anet decided to make chest drops completely random in an update, so i stopped testing.

KycooGhost · Nov 21, 2008, 03:29 AM // 03:29

I've only seen 2 req 8's ever drop, one was a white sword, the other was a blue death magic offhand, which I still have. Both came from CoF in HM.

Splinter Slinger · Nov 21, 2008, 03:53 AM // 03:53

Had a max req8 energy +5 platinum longbow drop out of a canthan chest when factions was starting up

odedkeren · Nov 21, 2008, 10:22 AM // 10:22

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and knoledge.
Kaitoa : you said there some interesting things

i wish someone knew any "magical" action that would make him rich or get rare stuff.
and that brings me to a related question,
Do you think that any req7-8 worth a lot?
like for example i had a gold req8 axe, crap skin, 20/20,+30hp BUT with no additional mod like the 15%.. so it was a basicly gold maxed, thats all. how much you think it was worth? do you think blue or white worth anything?
what about purples?
spun ducky, what do you know about this?
sharing is good

Apparently you have a larger chance of getting these lower req weapons from killing ennemies that are NOT level 20, although above a certain level. Alot of reputable people seem to agree with this concept.

This can be easily demonstrated farming Raptor nestlings in NM. Seeing as mid-level ennemies often drop low req weapons that are off in dmg, sometimes by 1 or 2 from the minimum or maximum weapon damage.

That being said, it would be just a matter of time and insane luck farming somewhere plausible for lower end ennemies.

kdz · Nov 21, 2008, 02:32 PM // 14:32

the best I got was a req8 gold 14^50 max fellblade: I've found it in a chest in frozen forest (shiverpeak chest) almost 3 years ago...I didn't find another max req8 since then

Let me give you hint, get a magned.

On topic, I has no idea, they never dropped for me.
