Chests with Q8 Max Drop Possibilities

  • Indeed, or any krytan chest drop with unid value 12 gold, regardless of whether that item is q3 itself.

    Good point! Red Fireball is the keeper all of that wonderful data. I never got my hands on a copy of the unid gold values found per max item (other than Q8). Red will have a lot of reading to do when he gets back online :)

  • Hello,

    Yes, the Keyless Treasure Chests are the same for NM or HM. The only ones that have been found to drop Q8 Max items up to date is those on the starter island. It looks like this may be the Issnur Isles one?

    So close on that drop, that particular skin has been known do drop in Q8 from treasure so you came close to getting another for the record book.

  • Hey Agent Chevy chevy just dropped a q8 dual winged axe purple from the treasure chest near the corsairs on noob island.

    So yes q8 are possible at least from this treasure chest Fenrir el Gris

    I was in nm but hm doesn't change anything

    Fun fact : i think a colossal scimtar purple could be possible too from these chests as they drop only purp once you have already opened them once. Yet no proof :P

    Nice drop!

    I assume when you say noob island, it was one of the 2 locations in red below.....

    These have been known to drop Q8s. I am aware of both a Q8 Max Adamantine Falchion and Adamantine Shield that were dropped from one of these 2. The rest below with ?'s are the ones that a Q8 has never been reported from and the belief is that the level from these are too high.

  • I've just got this one from "Kourna - Bahdok Caverns - Do Not Touch - ? - Needs Drop Research (proof of Q8)"

    Thanks for sharing. Q8s of other damages may still drop when Max DMG is unable to.

    This is still intriguing to see from a Kourna Treasure. The additional way to verify if a q8 max can drop from a chest if items with a unid value around 30-32 drop (if I am remembering correctly). Red Fireball can verify this statement.

    what about vabbi deso and torment treasures?

    Similar to the Kourna Treasure chests, these have not been proven to drop q8 max items or have a low enough unid value to drop q8 max items.

  • in theory yes - 32-33g items would opt for max q8 item drop chance, but the unid value of treasure chests is odd in various ways, so I wouldn't rely on that here. (1. the unid value ranges don't match a given level as all other chest drops do, 2. the top limit doesn't apply as everywhere else, so you have 80g unid value items, whereas everywhere else it is restricted to 60g)

    just any q8 (not-purple-staff-)drop and any max drop from a chest are proof enough of a q8 max drop chance from said chest. Moira1675 ideally we'd want to see the screen, when the item is still on the ground unidentified, that also shows your position and the chat history so we can actually see it was generated by the do not touch thing. Thanks a lot for looking out - definitely worth further looking now!

  • Sorry, but I didn't make print screen. My position was in the middle of poping angry djins around, so unfortunately I didn't have enough time to take print screen at the moment. And I didn't expect q8 item so couldnt react in time. But I got it from Bahdok Caverns - Do Not Touch, cos I know where I've been and why I should lie about it? So you can choose whether you can believe or not to my words. It doesn't matter to me, just wanted to share the information as probably useful.

  • I've just got this one from "Kourna - Bahdok Caverns - Do Not Touch - ? - Needs Drop Research (proof of Q8)"

    they're still on about this.

    Moira1675 can you specify what item you did get? purple or gold rarity? what weapon type?

    thanks for your input :)

    but q8 non max can drop in places q8 MAX will not drop, which they are not understanding.

  • Looney thanks - I missed that correlation after the time passed in between.

    IF that one is from the chest in question it does indeed mean that the max q8 can drop there - very situational argument... but definitely worth looking more into nf treasures around kourna :)

    Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me too much if the can. kournan chests drop q8 so maybe those treasures do too. The gold value correlation may be off as well due to treasures tending to drop higher than normal values.

  • It would be exciting if they do, as soon as the first proven q8 max drops from one, I will update the list :)

  • thats a nice question, IMO not any, but almost...

    I would really like to make a thread about all possible insc gold skins in each req

    if you have some specific skin in mind, shoot :p

    lot of dungeon skins are out of the equation , but nevertheless we can get many surprises if it is farmed with the right mix of factors

  • Is it still possible to get any q8 gold, insc. Weapons?

    Yes, all Kournan Chests, treasure chests listed on this original thread and foes level 17-20 (some believe 21 but this may be debatable), can drop gold q8 insc weapons, however the only types that still drop max are focus, shields and swords, the rest are reduced DMG for the current day q8 max (axe is 6-27, bow is 14-27, hammer is 18-34, dagger is 7-16, spear is 14-26, scythe is 9-40 and wands/staves are 11/21). Even those have collectors today.

  • Hey wild and maybe stupid question but by now after reading all these threads i think everything is possible.

    1.)
    Do discounted Kurzick / Luxon keys when you buy them for 480g/each at the Luxon/Kurzick Merchant when your Guild controls City. Make chests drop q8 = bring them in q8 range? because 480g pretty close to 450g right?

    2.)
    Does zoning into a 2nd territory in a chest run, increase dropchances in the 2nd territory? I feel like it is like that.

    how much you buy the key for is irrelevant. We just mention key cost as a way to tell the level of the chest, nothing changes that level. If price of the key used changed drops lockpicks would have absolutely horrible drops

  • Hello!

    1) Looney covered this one, for additional context, the chests as well as the Foe Levels that drop Q8s are determined by the Unid Gold Value possibilities for that chest/foe, that is what allows us to know that these specific chests can drop max Q8s as well as level 16-20 foes (16 is more recently discovered, some believe 21 but awaiting sold proof).

    2) Interesting theory, I too like chest running and farming as well in zones that require a travel to get to, I would say there is no exact proof of this, however one theory could be that less people farm and chest run these explorer areas so that the loot table may be affected differently, but again, not proven and likely debatable, but fun concept.

  • any reasonable idea why the staffs work differently?

    my guess it happened with the addition of the universal hsr mod in the big nerf right before nf release. this might have screwed up certain things concerning values, rarities, stat ranges in ways we can only guess about so far. huge samples of prenerf staves could help us verify this theory, but I don't have the motivation to collect those data atm. at least it makes sense in the ways that on prenerf staves the ranges were respected according to the time, whilst later on with an added core stat to the weapon at least the purp ones seem screwed up. such happened to no other wep and no other wep has the issue.
