I would say oni blade is at least 10a, zodiac is at least that much. The biggest thing is don't sell to private messages and put them up for auction.

Very rare mod, but not a desirable, I would say put it up for sale. I would pay a bit for it.

Up it goes.

Happy to pay quite well for these items. I am also interested in general prenerf stuff so that is more a show me what you have situation.

Priority items:

Q8 or Q9 dual reduction strength req -2 -3 shield

q7 20 hexed sword

q7 15 stance sword

OS Gold Crystalline or Dwarven axe

So close to something epic...

Items of similar type just don't sell often enough to get good price checks anymore on most things. This is a case that the only real way to find the value is to put it up for sale auction style.

2e for paperfan just because that was savage ^

the quest takes place @ Kaineng center. so no, I'm pretty sure it was not inscr Ectoplasmus

A interesting thing i have wondered is if in the few odd quests with mobs like this could they drop an inscribable only skin as OS. Similar to the mausoleum items are my thought.

q8 gold +10 vs cold +30 eternal shield 15a

q7 tact celestial shield +43 enchant +10 slash 20a

q8 gold +10 vs cold +30 eternal shield 12a

q7 tact celestial shield +43 enchant +10 slash 12a

Q9 perfect items 1-20e each, rest merch, and spiritwood is whatever the material trader will pay. All of these items and spirit wood especially is so heavily bot farmed they need to be something special to really have any value.

#1 and #3 are 100% worthless as far as function, but very prenerf more so than normal so probably 1-3a but otherwise agree with coffeeman. I actually own a Q8 +30 single mod eternal just like yours. It was a drop in the prot bond solo farm days of uw.

Cantha map unlock, they unlocked that north area in gw2 and wasn't a fan.

TOPK PVE or UW?

The game still seems to love me even though i am hardly playing right now.

Just got this after about 15 runs.

Bone-in, its what she likes

Carolina reaper or ghost pepper sauce

So there’s one thing I’m still confused on. R8 Gold swords can still drop EXCEPT for the Crystalline, Shadow Blade, Zodiac Sword, & Vertebreaker? As in those swords in R8 are pre-nerf, but say a FDS R8 Gold could still drop? Is that correct?

Q8 gold swords can still drop anywhere that the mobs are lvl 17-21 or the chest are 450g key value. OS q8 gold crystalline can no longer drop,however q8 purple crystalline can still drop from the first kilroy chest in sorrows furnace. Q8 shadow blade can still drop as well although nearly impossible. The shard wolves are level 20 in NM/HM in fow and they drop shadow weapons. So technically a q8 shadow blade or shield can still drop but odds are in insanely low.

Zodiac swords,vertebreaker, and other urgoz/deep exclusives most likely can't drop, however there is a slight chance still that would take research. The hopping vampires in urgoz at the later bridges in normal mode are lvl 10. While that isn't normally the correct level to drop a gold q8 item, prior to the nerf to the ones at the start they could drop gold max weapons. I haven't been able to confirm if they can still drop gold max items.

I got this beauty earlier today on a fow run between classes.

Meat sauce

balsamic vinegar or olive oil?

Paris

Alternating Current or Direct Current?

25e sephis axe

Max damage for inscribable axe in q8, I could see a collector wanting it for 10-20e. It is really impossible to give an accurate price and I would just list it for sale and see where it goes.

Q8 dual vamp 15-1 composite bow max dmg

Q8 20 hexed colossal pick max dmg

Q8 dual zeal 15-1 iron wing flatbow max dmg

I am curious what they are worth now a days. They are kind of odd less traded items if anyone has an idea.

15a ironwing

500e ironwing

Q8 Iron wing 250e

Eternal 150e

While I hate the skin, it is a neat postnerf q8 wand example i got the other day doing a NF mission.

I got to thinking after my q8/16 blue magma/eternal hunting that can the same be had for shadow shields? I know the only probable spot would be the quest drakes on a plain but not sure the 1-2 obsidian drakes can even drop shadow shields.

Required 8 giant slayer hammer 14^50 -> 3a

Was that a chest or enemy drop?

Q8 Platinum Longbow: 15/-5 -> 5a

Q8 blue Fellblade -> 2a

I think I will be moving onto some Q8 exploration for inscription items as a break from OS frustration of non perfects. What are some NF based ones that are questionable whether they still drop besides the colossal scimitars? One that peaked my interest was a Q8 sephis sword but i think that may be EOTN.

I took a good 7 year break from gw, and those that remember me I was a hardcore solo farmer from some of my old builds. I was the guy that figured out touch ranger could solo pretty much all of uw and also the uw spirit spam build. So farming is my major outlet for this game and I am very precise with it as I like nice things. The following are my observations, note my sample size as one person isn't sufficient but maybe others can chime in with experience.

Chest running Q8 gear:

Elonian chests and canthan chests have given me the highest yield of any method. Picking a route that is comfortable to do a ton of times is paramount but more importantly try to avoid chests that can drop armors. If the chest drops armors expect to get armors more than anything else. Farming "good" q8 items directly is a losing battle. If you just want a purple q8 focus that is single mod run a couple hundred of the above mentioned chests. You may even get a gold focus here and there. Maguuma chests have yet to yield a q8 for me but I haven't ran them extensively. I have also done a few hundred kilroy keyless chests runs with 3 crystalline sword drops amongst other nice items,however only 2 q8 focus so far. So I would not go that route.

Farming Mobs for Q8 gear:

The ideal levels are 17-21, I noticed the better odds come from the higher level mobs on this spectrum. What I have observed that is interesting is that mob dropped q8 items tend to more often be dual modded and closer to perfect. I know this is anecdotal but it is my observations.

NF Q8 inscr:

I don't have much to say here as I don't really mess with NF chests or farming too much.

Things to look for in a potential farm:

The correct level of course, but something I figured out based on the ghost slaves dead sword farming as they are one of the only mobs that is level 20 in HM is that the factor is the mob spawns after level load. I have found a few other situations this occurs that produces the correct mob level, however the only easily farmable one is that of the dead sword farm so far. That is where everyone else comes in to find obscure quests that might require a character born of a specific expansion and class. I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't other quests out there that can yield q8 items "easier" than normal mode mobs.

In summary this is just some food for thought and happy to discuss farming these gems.

I won't give a direct price since I am actively bidding on the item, however price checks vs reality can be harsh. I have a good 50 items that can get the priceless/xxx arm treatment. The reality is one who actually has the funds, willing to spend those funds, desired skin, actual rarity, and usefulness.

A bit of history on q8 deadbows for you. The skin itself has always been very common and after the introduction of HM they are one of the most farmed skin. What made them rare initially was the fact they could only come from higher level keyless chests for max damage q8 or as mob drops from very few enemies when the game was prophecies only. Hell's precipice portal wraiths being one of the main location although necrid horsemen who at the time were very unfarmable could drop them along with some oddities such as lord timot a lvl 21 undead in a krytan quest. The only real reason they have ever retained such high value is rarity as the time frame in which they could drop was still very limited.

My final thought and probably why your not getting price checks are because most of the people bidding on it are the same ones who price checked the last one so a conflict of interest. It is an item that the only way to actually get a legit price evaluation is put it up for auction and see where it goes.

30a dead bow

It was almost epic.
