my quest to farm a max damage Q8

shinigami00 · January 2, 2026 at 10:22 AM

Hi, (sorry if it's the wrong place to post)

I've always dreamed of getting a Q8 OS drop. I've owned some before, but never gotten a drop, and I really want to experience that moment—the drop, the identification.

I've read a lot here and I've started chest farming in Normal mode in Pongmei.

I was wondering if you had any other places to recommend for my Q8 OS quest?

I also wanted to know if there are still incredible items that drop these days, or are all the items we see in xxxA items that were dropped decades ago?

like can i have a chance to drop a q8 max damage celestial if i am in the right place? or it's only pre nerf items?

Thanks

You can only drop Q8 swords, shields, and focus items now. These drop from lvl 18-21 mobs in either NM or HM. Chests that can drop Q8 are kournan, canthan, elonian & Maguma. You can drop Q8 celestial shields or swords still from canthan chests around mantids/vermin/nahpui quarter NM, and maybe a few other spots.

The chances are very low and normally its faster to farm other stuff and buy q8s with arms.

but if no one try farming them, then you can't buy it with your arms

Missing Daughter quest is known to drop q8.

I did it 500-700 times but never got one.
