Hey y'all! I Haven't played much in the past ~5-ish years, but I', looking forward on buying a OS Shield and a few questions about OS weapons sparked my mind.
My goal shield is a classic DoA Shield, q9 (or less) tac +45wE -2wE or maybe +10vsDemons.
I'm mostly looking for a Echovald, eventually Outcast or something else..
What do I need to know?
It has to be dual mod right? I can't add either mod afterwards?
Mods are set permanently, is that correct?
I'm a little confused since for swords (if I remember correctly) only the "inscr."-part (e.g. 15^50) is set and you can modifiy the handle for example, is that correct..?
Has either of these ever been sold in q8? Perfectly modded (just curious).
Is the beforementioned "dream shield" considered OS, Prenerf, anything else?
I assume its OS, cuz "no inscr. and factions only skins"?
Prenerf would be q8, or "fancy" mods like 15% more dmg while nothing, right?
Side question:
Which max value/armour weapons can still drop in q8?
OS Shields

Here's a good thread from Red Fireball about stat ranges for your max q8 question: GW gear stat ranges
Old school shields cannot be modified. The +10vsDemon would be considered an old school shield as you cannot get that modifier as an inscription. So yes, that would have to be dual modded from the beginning.
Mods are set permanently on shields if they are old school.
Yes for swords, the "insc" part is a set modifier, but you can add an hilt/pommel.
I am unsure if they have been sold in Q8s. Probably, but I haven't seen one recently. I'm sure someone else could let you know.
Your "dream shield" would be considered OS, not prenerf.
Yes, it would be considered OS since you cannot modify the insc and also because it is a factions skin.
Q8 shields can still be dropped, so they would not be considered prenerf. You can check that chart I linked in the first sentence to see what still drops as Q8 maxed.

Thank you SO MUCH.
That was one of the most precise answers I've ever gotten on the internet.
Tyvm Sir. -
Some shields cant drop q8 tho and are still prenerf, and also demon mods only happen in cantha, so all OS skins cant be demon modded.
Echovald and q9 outcast def possible, i sold q9 tac 10demon/2we outcast few months back for like 200a.
Q8 demon shields have sold, but not on those skins afaik
