I wish Shaya ... but the amount of farming could only be done by a bot in order to get a somewhat plausible set of data - and not a single one but more like a hundred. the VERY ROUGH outlier on the expected ratio is 1 in 4000 swords, which at a sword drop rate in the 5% region is 1:80000 in g/p drops from chests as in my quote. so in order to get a statistically relevant amount (after 100 I'd be halfway satisfied, my statistics prof said 300000 occurences for reliable statistics - but let's be very conservative. so a max q8 sword gold or purple would drop every 50days from a chest when running 24/7. that would be 14years to get the 100 I'd aim for. so I will not dive into this endeavour since I am VERY far from 24/7 chestrunning. I have like 5h ingame time per month XD
so I do have the same statistics evaluated for swords, but the sample size of positives for swords is 0 for me. so they are very more rough guesses than shield or foci rates. or what kind of statistics did you want?
if anyone has anything to contribute - I'd be very willing to evaluate data!
To my way of thinking if its 1:50000 or 1:500000 the numbers mean the same thing, really fucking rare. Beyond that the numbers really have no meaning in practical terms of trying to drop one. Each lockpick or kill is a lottery ticket in this scenario.
+ you got the "what it IDs to" factor (Doesn't apply to inscri obviously). At least half of every Q8 OS sword you ever ID will be a off max mod and worth very little anyway

outcasts were nerfed to drop in q8 with the big update recalibrating the req drop mechanism.
Is there a date / patch note for this?

Turns out I collected baby Sunqua sets. Not really intentionally it kind of happened by accident, spawning out of other collections

Just to confirm even further the Deathands can 100% certain drop Outcast shields.
Q8 from lvl 21 seems ridiculously unlikely at this stage. How many more years of 0 observation of this drop are we going to have before we just declare its not a thing (until proven otherwise
).Related question: Do we know the details of when / how Q8 Outcast was nerfed? I'm assuming around the same time Q7 was removed but maybe not? Lower level Outcast foes once upon a time?

It was inscribable as well

Thanks to raben for the perfect shield match for a sword I've had for ages. It's gone very well

the bug with the deathbane mod leading to martial items that should have had a insc slot ending without one has been fixed some years ago. today only staves still present this behaviour. so BDS can still drop without insc slot, but crysta not. this is my status
To my knowledge, the bug only made them much more common to drop, but clean drops werent exclusive to deathbane.
Ive bought many cleans from zchest and random drops etc over the years and ppl selling have Several times claimed it was recent drop. So i belive they still drop just extreamly rarely.
100% agree with this. I have personally pulled non staff cleans from zchest when I got max rank a year or so ago. Was purposely looking for examples to prove you can get a "OS looking" gold ball hammer. Never got one but did get a couple examples. I'd have to search screenshots but I recall not keeping them because they were annoyingly core skins that can drop OS clean elsewhere so was nothing special as couldn't be identified as "zchest cleans".
-
it is prenerf as in means of it being impossible to drop anymore
Why can't zchest drop one of these today? It drops Q9 Cry and on occasion a wep without an inscription?
-
In Q9 there is no way to definitively tell if it's pre or post nerf

Had the wand for a few years, finally found an offhand for it
-
Finally got round to getting survivor on a monk toon. Left it in GoM over night came back in the morning and was still going so left it to see how long it could last.
Couple days later was still going (and on the same berserker scroll). Was going away so had to stop it but was mad to think the team did almost 43 million damage
