What is the weapon?

I sometimes toss random crap on a hero with PwK like a spare caster spear plus a resto focus with hct or hsr since PwK is an item *spell* and i think hct/hsr works on it.
Yep HCT / HSR will give some small benefit under normal conditions. You also have a scenario when PwK is rupted and until its recharged the wep mods they holding are relevant to the rest of the bar. I always give the BiP an ench wep of some kind for such times.

at least to our knowledge they do not drop. but there were noticeable differences in circumstances: no hm around, FAR more players, farms for lvl20 and below mobs. Combining this with the fact that max q7s of the mentioned weapon types were crazy rare even back in the day (unlike shield sword foc, which were rather regular drops) I might not discard the possibility entirely. plus I remember a developer being quoted that all weapon types would still drop max q8 (butthat is a vague memory plus I wouldn't take it for granted)
might be they are just 1000times less likely than a max q8 sword...
Agreed. You cannot say much about drops in this game with 100% certainty because everything we know is observation + vague patch notes intertwined with stealth nerfs. BUT after all this time of never seeing a max Q8 Axe if it technically can the drop chance would be so infinitesimally small as to be irrelevant. IMO best chance would be not that its possible everywhere with a 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance but there is some obscure quest foe that's almost never killed somewhere that by mistake or other reason held the possibility to do so with just the standard 0.000000001% chance lol. We do keep altering what we thought was possible with new info, for the longest time lvl 17-21 was the accepted range for dropping max Q8 and that been redefined. Also other items have moved in and out of the accepted "prenerf" list. However aside from such mad as yet unproven pipedreams max Q8 axes don't drop anymore

Worth mentioning that most Necro healers use "Protective was Kaolai" which means whatever weapon you have equipped is almost completely irrelevant as heroes maintain it constantly.

...Ok only 2 titles are from this toon and others are account wide but its a milestone nonetheless
- Grabbed a Dom Wayward after finishing Factions
- Started HM EOTN missions
- Using "Light of Deldrimor" while doing some dungeons got me good amount of gold, lockpicks and rare materials from hidden treasures
- Farmed Warden Horns and exchanged for Lotus staffs for several heroes
- Upgraded main heroes to +41hp runes
- Farmed this weeks nick hoping to get some summoning stones from gifts, worked out ok
- Got my first green drop from Oolas chest, unlikely ill be using it though
- Got a 20% "Forget Me Not" which can use when I find a nice offhand (Although maybe not cause I still like having a shield tbh)
Plan going forward is:
- Slowly upgrade heroes with better runes and weps when I can
- Work through Proph NM missions
- Do as many daily Zaishen activities as I can for rewards and stacking up gold coins for bigger bags
- Nick farm each week for goodies
- Don't die
-
I would also merch this one, with a sad look on my face though

Update on progress:
- Finished EOTN, handed book in for dwarven
- Finished Factions (11/13)
- Made a few consets, mostly to save space as materials started to pile up
- Capped SoS, ST and Icy Veins
- Grabbed Xandra from fighting tournament
- Spend most of my gold unlocking skills for heroes
- Completed a couple ZBs- Walked to a few more towns in Prophies, about to head down to Sanctum Cay and start missions.
Only two noteworthy drops. Ecto from wondering around UW after finishing the Charged Blackness ZB. Also did an Arachni's and got a black dye at the end which would be nice but its only worth 1g these days

Decided to do a softer version of the traditional ironman mostly because I really dislike prophecies and didn't want to start there. Make the target GWAMM with no deaths. Already did this once on a Para but wasn't Ironman. Didn't have all the parameters figured out when I started so kinda made it up as I went along.
Ended up with this:
- No storage / material Storage
- no dying (obviously
)- No other players in party (Includes teaming up with other ironman players) - Wanted to do this solo
- No Player to player trading
- No /bonus
- No mercenary heroes
- Heroes to only use skills player has unlocked and ignoring account unlocks
- Summoning stones and consumables allowed but have to be obtained within the rules. (Not used any yet)
-
Skill tomes allowed but have to be obtained within the rules. (Not used any yet)Realised this is completely pointless. No tomes, everything needs to be unlocked / capped.- Can use all traders including from Guild hall
- Can do content in any order / start in any campaign.
Went for Mesmer in Nightfall after not really thinking it though cause didn't really know where I was going with it, in hindsight would have probably gone ranger.
Progress so far:
Nightfall Finished with a few missions to redo for masters. Didn't have to many problems apart from capping Energy Surge from Yammiron, Ether Lord which turned out to be a lot harder than I presumed with such limited heros and gear. (Caused a death on the first attempt of this, wasn't happy)
EOTN almost done just waiting to do Destruction Depths. Went to EOTN at lvl 10 as you would expect to grab much needed heroes and XP and soon discovered my team was getting smashed so went back to Nightfall until I was better prepared.
Factions I'm up to Altrumm Ruins, no issues so far..
Prophies I've been to LA and walked to a few close by towns, will soon being heading down to Droks through the snake.
Overall I've been playing pretty cautious, killing additional problem agro first, flagging heroes and microing skill for the more challenging fights. Without pcons and a perma +300hp from Feel No Pain as I had previously its easy to take a few big hits and you in danger of losing that survivor. Has been a few dashes to guild hall already.
Currently using this wepset and meeting the req on shield for extra armor. Spear is from NF treasure and shield was a drop from eotn. Also found somewhat of a high energy set in this cane.
Did lots of secondary quests early on for gold, XP and fun. That extra time in low level areas yielded some cool drops:
Not all that useful to me but was nice to see anyway. Few gold drops so far and nothing much worth mentioning, did get a longbow for pulling and Koss has a choice of swords....
Would encourage others to try this version of "ironman", I'm really enjoying it. Has the fun of resource management that Ironman brings, the challenge of working for everything you need and the scary parts of not dying without the horrible prophecies with hench bit
Will do a quick run down of hero builds and gear at some point soon.

Heh how did I never see this thread?! I'm one of the weird ones who prefer style 1 by a landslide over style 2. I usually try to swap my style 2s for 1s whenever I can. It just looks better to me and that "gap" does not bother me at all.
They the weird (and wrong) ones. Style 1 is the way. Anybody who disagrees frankly is a dangerous maniac who is likely a danger to themselves and others. tis all bout dat gap

Doesn't that only spawn during the "Demon Assassin" Quest? I assume you had that active... if not... you better kill it quick and hope that the brand new "Ghostly Shield" drops
Slayer had already been killed and yet he reappeared in the body of a Coldfire

On a side note.. is it possible for these chests to even drop max damage Q8 golds there? The foes were level 18 Jungle trolls I believe.. I thought I read somewhere that to get Q8 the foes need to be like level 17-21 or something like that. Can anyone confirm?
Can confirm.

Oh White Reavers actually drop insc? You learn something new every day hehe
Edit: Is it from the eotn quest that spawns white mantle that it is a possible drop as inscribable? Or have I had the wrong idea about them only dropping from White Mantle for the entirety of my time in GW?
