Lv 20, so they can drop new skins in max. best i have atm is this
Those mobs have a shitty droprate, and the boss too.
-
Gold version definitely possible from level 20. White or Blue can drop from higher levels.
This is the closest I have gotten so far, shows promise
-
you can drop max white and blue q8s from any HM mob - any level. so yes they can but it doesnt have anything to do with that mob

Purple lesser Etched sword from normal mode chest in fmaw, do new skin golds drop normal mode chests? or just the former pvp skins that drop foes also nm

NM chests have dropped bonus items skins, namely in: Southern Shiverpeaks, Realm of Torment, and Depths of Tyria. (No NM chest drops were reported in Factions so far.) On the other hand, HM chests seem to drop new items in all areas.
PVP skins have a different drop pattern than bonus item skins, as they seem more regional. It's interesting that Etched was found in a dungeon. All previous reports of Etched were in Norn areas. Perhaps dungeons in the area are also considered a Norn area in some way? Need more data to find out.

100+ golds from Corsairs in Moddok HM, nothing new. They drop a lot of armor though, not sure if that would affect the drop rate.

It might be possible that low req can drop from low level foes in "high level areas". Someone correct me if I'm wrong but for enemies that can be seen wielding weapons, the only golds they can drop are those weapons? It could be possible that in proph/fac/nf these foes can't drop the new items because they weren't implemented in this context due to technical issues or simply laziness, since only eotn drops the new items in non-gold quality. This would explain why Slave spirits don't drop anything new even though they're in a high-level area.
Edit: nvm this seems unlikely given that Dragon mosses don't seem to drop anything... I really don't know at this point. That lone Rock beetle seems to be an anomaly.
Edit2: for some reason I thought Mosses were lvl 20 so the above might still be possible. Still, the fact Mosses don't seem to drop anything is odd on its own.

More I farm, and more I guess when you farm a quest like "the halcyon job", "a new escort", the Undeads in désolation etc etc are still on the same loot table.
I farmed many of those quests, many many runs and I never had a single new skin (except from chests in the areas).
WoC works differently for sure, dunno why that's the only farmable quest which drop new skins.
Is anyone else can confirm that, or the opposite maybe?
I don't have any other farmable quest in mind, and I also tried "protect the halcyon" and still new skins (but it's the quest I tried the less).

WoC may be the exception because it's supposed to be hard (even though the quest that's farmed is bugged so it's relatively easy to farm). Still, I don't see any general rule regarding the new drops yet. It just feels like they smashed their head against the keyboard when making drop tables.

the first post is up to date!
also added a section for finding low-req, hope it helps
❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ Finding Low-Req Items ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅
This section summarizes the information concerning possible q8 or lower drops.
❅ Tip: When foes with levels ≤ 20 drop a gold item, check the unidentified gold value. A value of ≤ 35 indicates q8 possibility. For more information, see this amazing thread by Red Fireball.

I don't think you should add Moddok Corsairs to the locations with no drops. I only got about 20 gold weapons there because they drop so much armor for some reason. We probably need a larger sample.

Thanks! I've put a note next to it.
Really hope they do drop
