Maximum damage for low requirements - Which are they?

Hi, this was started in Riverside by me because it's the most populated forum, and because I don't know where it would go otherwise.

I am interested in finding out the maximum damage, maximum energy and maximum armor for every type of weapon, shield and focus at requirements lower than 8 (since it's confirmed Q8 max items do exist.)

I am aware that Q7 max items also do exist, however I wonder if anyone can confirm the existence of, for example, a Q7 max Gold Inscribable Spear.

What I want from you are posts, preferrably with screenshots but that's not an absolute necessity, of:

Gold items with a requirement of 6 or less. Their damage and other important stats.

How low requirement can a Gold item have? I have seen (and owned) Q4... do they go lower?

What I'm after is:
Max damage of a sword at Q6,5,4,3,2,1
Max damage of an axe at Q6,5,4,3,2,1
Max damage of daggers at Q6,5,4,3,2,1
Max damage of a bow at Q6,5,4,3,2,1
Max damage of a scythe at Q7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Max damage of a spear at Q7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Max armor of a shield at Q6,5,4,3,2,1
Max energy of a focus at Q6,5,4,3,2,1
Max energy of a staff at Q6,5,4,3,2,1
Max damage of a staff at Q6,5,4,3,2,1

Would be nice if anyone wanted to help out.

Kindly, Moloch

I have owned a few Req 7 1 dmg off of max inscribable spears same with shields also owned the same of several different attribute focii. I don't know the other break points but I am highly interested as 1 damage isn't that big of a deal in some break point situations.

I've seen a req 2 12-20 bow (presearing) dunno if that helps..

I remember getting a req9 healing focus that was one off max (ie 11 energy). I did put it up for a price check and got the message back that it was merchant fodder. It dropped when I was farming destroyer cores in normal mode. I have also seen a req 6 hammer at 33 max damage doing normal snowman runs.

I have a gold q4 12-20 dead-bow with inherent +5 nrg, dropped in HM on Shing Jea island.

Alright, to clarify...

I'm not looking for damage stats on Q8 or higher. I'm only looking for damage stats on spears and scythes for Q7. Q6 or lower, all weapons, foci, shields etc. (I know the most common AL for a gold shield is 14, has anyone seen a 15?) I also want the complete damage range (i.e. not "max dmg 33" but "16-33".)

So, you are looking for the max damage of each req?
Hm... that would be something interesting to put in the Wiki.
The maximum for 'req 0' is already in the GW wiki.

Both should have all the data.

Ok, I'll try to remember.

This will be exceptionally difficult to do, given the relatively few number of players that keep gold items that aren't max.

If you expanded your request to say ANY items, I bet you'd get a better response.

You also need to clarify whether you want only inscribable items, or whether it can be a mix of inscribable and non-inscribable.

I'm fine with that change. So, I'll say:

Maximum damage, armor, energy for ANY item of req 6 or lower. Both non-inscr. and inscr. since I do believe if it can drop non-inscr. it should be able to get an inscr. drop. (But not sure.)

Also screenshot would really help. I'm not a "pics or it didn't happen" person but screenies would remove every reasonable doubt.

So, please post findings in this format (giving an example):

Weapon name: Great Conch
Rarity: Gold
Req: 6
Armor Level: 14
Inscribable

<Screenshot>

I'll throw the easiest one into the pot:

The max armor that I've seen for a shield with a 6 requirement is 14 armor, both inscribable and non-inscribable.

I've also gotten two al14 r6 tactics inscribable Great Conches, one grape and one gold, from when I did nm raptor farming for an event awhile back. I still have them on a mule or something, so I suppose I could make an ss if I had to, but these stats aren't extraordinarily rare, so I don't think its necessary. You say that the lowest al on a gold shield is 14, but I definitely got some gold shields from said raptor farming that were al13, its just that the reqs on those (r6,r7) werent particularly impressing, so I merched them, can't give you any ss of those.

Another one...

The max energy I've seen on a focus with a 6 requirement is +11 energy, both inscribable and non-inscribable.

Posting one item, hoping to get it beat.

Weapon: Plagueborn Staff
Rarity: Gold
Req: 4 Blood Magic
Damage: 9-14
Non-Inscribable
15HSR Inherent (All Spells)
10HCT Inherent (All Spells)
Energy+7

Bumping this thread, I'm still interested in input.

Req 4?

havent seen that

Bumping this. I'm still interested in information.

Had a pair of r4 5-9 daggers today. Very pathetic and probably not max range for an r4 pair.

Interesting topic, good luck compiling.

Got this ages ago:

Weapon: Sephis Axe
Rarity: Gold
Req: 6 axe mastery
Damage: 6-21
Non-Inscribable

i know that r7 16 armor shields exist, however ... i do not have a screen shot of the person who had it because i have uninstalled + reinstalled the game since then >_<

anyways this is a really interesting thread, i will try to contribute to it

Were those gold? I found a pair of blue 5-10 Q3, that I actually modded and carry on my N for fun.
