    I farmed at least double of your farm, never god q8 shield or sword out of them, just one q8 foci. Farmed certain quests also a loot, never got single q8 out of them. Their skin pool isn't so limited but they Dont tend to drop q8.

    Neutral_CH Thanks for the info!

    Indeed it makes sense that a reset is in place, either a gradual or a hard one. I think we should also differentiate between drops from mobs, from NM/HM chests, and from dungeon end chests.

    The mechanics of the source code might be similar for all of those, but there could be different scaling factors e.g.

    Damir I admit I had never heard about the xp scrolls thing in SCs/casual dungeons. Do you have any kind of data about it, in the spirit of Pyro's data?

    Not really, just info's from people that farmed dungeons for years. And ofc you won't see public some thing. People tend to keep some infos for themselves or share only in certain groups. But if you search for it, I believe you will find something on net. And people who used to bot SoO and bog, used these scrolls in there. And thats for a reason. I suppose exp scrolls are the way to mimick low level character, since they get more exp while leveling so actually game maybe seee them as lower level, who knows, but people believe it works.

    Interesting, I am currently filling books to cheese my survivor title, so I will have a bit more than 1,337,500 "untaxed XP" as you say. Before and after I turn them in I will do some farming and keep drop notes. I am thinking Gates of Kryta or Raptor farm, since I am doing this on my Warrior and I know how to do those farms already. If this theory is true, then it would seem that speedbooking and turning those books in before doing dungeons would net you better drops from the end chest, right?

    That should be right. Need excessive testing. But I know people are using triple exp scrolls in SoO for years, and they know why they use them. So there is something.

    I will tell you something from way back. Then nerfed drop rates cuz of speed clear. People who do whole dung and get more exp get better drops then people who do SC. Try using triple exp scrolls and do normal run and see the drops.🫡

    Damir I remember seeing you in an old thread on anti-farming code. Did you ever do any more testing with storybooks for your theory that there's a hidden XP value that dictates when you're more likely to get golds?

    Yeah I did, 4 times. And I noticed increase in drop quality, by quality I mean gold item drop, not actually better mods etc. But that was time consuming and need more tests to prove it. But yes I believe that xp is a huge factor. The not "taxed" xp.

    Have you considered writing threads on here about your research? a wiki user page is not particularly easy to find, furthermore people may not even know to search for things like that in the first place.

    you mention these things so casually, yet this might be complete news to many people

    My research is very niche and I think doesn't need to be searchable. I just wanted a place to park the info, to which I can point as an introduction when I meet someone who is interested. I think a wiki is a better place for that, than a trading forum (and if any wiki user cares to verify my info, it can easily be copied to the main pages). The "research" section on this forum is not healthy anyway, it's basically a few people answering questions from players who don't have any info of their own to offer, and a lot of questions that would benefit botting (which, unlike most traders/collectors, I am vehemently against).

    If you like a topic and make the effort to dive into it, you will meet like-minded players. There are so many things in GW that are complete news to many people (also to me). That's one of the reasons I love this game.

    Care to explain how to use that infinite enchantment duration glitch?

    I think that lucky aura has big impact on item drops. Or I'm just imaginating things.

    Hello :)

    Today few Q0 staves I've had in my collection for quite some time. Even though they’re completely useless, I absolutely love them! 😊

    I’ve never really checked if there are other gold Q0 items witch different skins.

    I assume they cannot be obtained any more?😂

  • Can HM Drop Req8 Gold?

    Quote from Damir

    I know, got many q8 through the years, still like to do it. But I'm hooked now to OS q3 shields farming lol.

    I also love Q3 farming, and in all honesty, it "feels" as though getting a max Q3 gold item other than a shield (Q3 shields are very rare but will always be max) is just as rare if not more than Q8s. Now I am sure this will get some debates, but if you consider the minimal places with level 12 foes and number of people that farm them, the chances are pretty dang low.

    Yeah beside tengu farm there are really almost no spots left. There are few mobs/bosses around but that's huge time waste.

  • Q8 outcast shield.

    Damn, could be there a way to get q7 drops again? For instance some forgoten quests etc? But I assume they removed it completely from the loot tables. But I wonder did they made some mob level like 10- 11 and 21-22 on purpose to reduce low req gold items drops (lvl 10-11) and reduce q8 drops lvl (21-22) etc. it cannot be that they did that on purpose. Maybe we got ****** by random chance. Cannot believe they diged that deep to prevent desirable low q gold items drop. Must be coincidence. I'm talking about propercies.
