@ Everyone saying req.7/q7/... can't drop anymore.
Thread/Update Log/Webpage with proof or GTFO

Saying things like that on your personal studies or whatesoever obviously isn't valid.

Going only by your forum join date...you haven't been playing long enough to form a well informed view of what can and can not drop.

We could say the same for people saying they still drop. In any case, there is no proof on one or the other side.

Its not a question if req7 exists - we know they do. The question is can they still drop.

I believe hes on teh right idea

I've got a q 8 Celestial bow, and guess where that came from. Vermin

EDIT: Oh, now I see how were discussing if 7 do still work.

I don't believe 7 even drop anymore, I believe Anet nerfed them. I don't really know for sure, but I'd be glad to find out sometime if a q 7 did drop. Anyway, as of now, q 7 are nerfed.

cgruber · Feb 04, 2008, 03:23 PM // 15:23

Well low req golds still drop, whether they max or not is the real question..

KycooGhost · Feb 04, 2008, 03:34 PM // 15:34

Thanks for the hints! Also, on the topic of Req7's being taken out of the game, If they had been taken out than they would show up on the High End Trading forum at crazy prices, well over whet they are currently going for. They would also almost never show up, like the eternal blade and the old school weps that REALY don't drop any more, you know the unconditionals.

Reading comprehension FTW...."Going ONLY by your ..."

Of course time on the forums has nothing to do with time spent playing the game...that's understood and does not need to be stated.

a few notes after reading all of the posts:

- gaze of contempt removes ench from foes with 50% or more health..if ur a 55, then aren't you only at like 10-20% of health? Does that mean at 55hp ur at 100% of health, or am I misunderstanding that concept?

- Lower level monsters drop lower req' golds, but I wonder out of those 'rare' drops, how many are actually max damage. I've had gold weapons drop from lev 15 ettins outside of Nebo Terrace, and Juvenile Bladed Termites in Elona, but never max.

- If you farm an area over and over, is there still an anti-farm code and does loot-scaling come into play at all, which all serve to minimize your chance of such uber-rare stuff?

I need elucidation on the above, please help.

#1: 55 is your maximum health. Whatever the highest health you can get at the time is, that's your maximum.

Thanks Captain Obvious. The question is whether or not MAX r8 and r7's drop. No-one cares about non-max inscribable - these quite obviously drop, are completely worthless and are best salvaged for the mod.

IattackU · Feb 04, 2008, 09:40 PM // 21:40

I still believe that they drop. And until I see a post from Gaile I will keep believing they drop.

A negative like that cannot be proven with our access to the game. The only way that we could give proof that they DON'T drop is by posting a conversation with Gaile or someone else from A-Net.

Instead the burden of proof falls to the people who CAN prove what they're saying. If you can't prove that they don't drop, you have to prove that they do. Until it is proven, exactly what you said could be said to you. Until it is proven that they can drop, no one is wrong because it is speculation.

And if my Guru join date comes into question, I've been playing a while, but only decided that lurking wasn't good enough more recently.

Tantra Existantance · Feb 04, 2008, 11:18 PM // 23:18

Pics of weapons with a mod of 7 ( and them being max'd ) are easily photoshopped, as I shown earlier, had I touched it up a bit more it would have been more convincing, but the point is alot of sad people spend ages photoshopping these screen shots to make it seem as though they have a max r7 weapon with a recent skin to prove they still drop.

I'm not saying they don't still drop, but I'm not in a position to say whether they do or don't, if someone shows me one in trade with a recent skin, or it's verified by ANET, then I'm a believer :P

Can any one post a link from guild wiki for the update that removed req 7's from the game? I can't seem to find it.

Ever heard of undocumented changes to the game? The update at the moment of Nightfall release contained so many changes they didn't list all.
