Display MoreI felt like the upcoming 20th anniversary would make the perfect occasion to get some of these values fixed.

we do see a general pattern: the min dmg for q1-5 is always the same, which is due to the fact that items with req start dropping at 9g unid for blue and white, and 6g for prp. 9g then yields the reqs 1-5, where q6 just starts at 10g, so on some weapons due rounding the q6 min damage is the same and on some is one higher. purple starts dropping on lvl7, which have a min value of 5g, which is the only place where you can get the q0 purple items and consequently the min q0 in prp on staves will differ from blue/white. the other way round the wep types max dmg occurs at q9-13, where again due to rounding on some weapon types the max damage is also possible on a q8 (foc shield sword). in between the ranges are pretty much linear to the req, which gives us some more candidates for lower/higher possible options as compared to what we have. Also staves and wands should be all identical in all rarities on min/max damages (except the min stats at the start of each rarity, since the higher rarities start dropping at higher level and hence higher min stats... read the table you will see what I mean) On top of that there is a very small set of items that I have been shown that have stats exceeding with a believable claim they dropped recently yet not meeting our standard of making absolutely sure (aka insc item or item still on ground or unid) so those could not be added.
long story short: I would like to award people for new entries with money from my own bank - if anyone felt like it I'd certainly accept donations to fund these or would also accept people refraining to accept their reward - I'd want to set out a prize as motivation to start the hunt.
the bounty hunt will run until end of the ingame anniversary event, starting now. You can earn points:
confirming a predicted min value: 1 point
confirming a predicted max value: 3 points
confirming a new min exceeding the table and the predictions: 3 points
confirming a new max exceeding the table and the prediction: 5 points
spot a missing min prediction: 1 point
spot a missing max prediction: 3 points
by the end the 5 people with most points will be awarded a prize money:
1st 20a
2nd 2a0e
3rd-5th 20ecto
and everyone participating shall recieve on top 20k for every point earned! If I get some donations I might increase the prize money.
so get to work and let's finally make the table somewhat reliable (I still expect a lot of room for further improvements on scythes, daggers and spears especially).

grand total 49 new min entries and 18 new max entries predicted. that is about every 5th of all min entries and 13th of all max entires. That is pathetic after 20years! we shall not embarrass ourselves to the gods - get to work!
If you want advice as to where to go to find them...

min q1-5/max q1 lvl 9/10
min q6 lvl 10/11
min q7/max q2 lvl 12/13
min q8/max q3 lvl 15
min q9/max q4 lvl 17
min q10/max q5 lvl 19
max q6 lvl 20/21
min q11 lvl 21/22
max q7 lvl 22
min q12/max q8-12 lvl 24+
those are the best sources listed (aka highest chance for the drop) for blue and white items.
the range where something is possible usually goes down 3-5 levels from there (e.g. for a max q3 you read lvl15, it is possoble to get in the range lvl11-15.)
Happy hunting!
I'd love to see some activity on here and really improve the table for the 20th anniversary. Happy hunting and enjoy playing like it was the first day, where you had to check if an item was max with your friends
