no. max q8 golds happen in the 32-35g region and the end chest omits this entirely. shame for that. we know tge purple q8 staves from regular hm chests, no implication to other q8 items in there. sadly.

the highest one I would know can happen would be 723g on a max value realm of torment treasure chest drop, with a max roll on identifying and a isv insc applied. highest I had seen was 620 I believe.

Dropping one like this has so low odds compared to any other 20/20, better to ask red to do the math haha :p
I'll try...

first up some general stuff:
the prof specific core foci like flame artifact can only drop with attribute specific mods tied to their profession - 3-4 attris per profession
not all attris are available as attri specific mod on os items (no hsr estorage for example)
the anniversary foci can come in all combinations (like req fire, hsr blood, hct heal) - 16 attris for the mods if I'm not mistaken
the anniversary skin foci are about 1/10 as rare as any core skin modelID
from here we can make an approach:
a matching 20/20 anniversary foc will be somewhere like 10 × 16/4 × 16/4 = 160 times as rare as a core skin. means statistically on one matching aniiv foc like that come 160 core foci like that.
Now all this assumes you only farm a specific place that drops both (chests in echo forest hm for example) and you compare the chance of one specific anniv foc to one specific core skin foc.
sticking with the echo forest chest however you would have 70 core skin foc modelIDs in the pool, with an accumulated weight of 61.2 (jug, paper fan and paper lantern being rarer), and 35 anniv foc modelIDs. that means the expect would be a 3.5/61.2 aka 1:17.5 ratio for the anniv foc vs core skin ration instead of the 1:10, which would put us at a 1:280 rate for matching 20/20s. and I was conservative on the chance for the anniv foc, bc the 16/4 ratio assumes attris on professions that have 4 possible attris as hct mods... and I did neglect that there are attris on anniv foci that can't be matching since the respective hct/hsr mod does not exist os - like ES. this is getting a little too manual of adding numbers, I think we are good for a ballpark at this point - likely 1:400 would be fine.
and then you could also calculate the chances for other sources and then weigh them by the amount they are being farmed to see how much you'd expect them in the pool of dropped items globally, but that is impossible since we do not know who farms what how much. but I can tell: you will not get an anniv foc on a charr sword storm in nolani, nor a core skin foc on a mountain troll, nor a monk foc on a charr flame wielder... you know the mechanics (in parts

you can likely get 1-10a for it

not max, not insc, not rare

indeed it os somewhat special - there is exactly one mob ingame dropping it - the solitary colossus - and among the possibilities this is lowest possible for a blue shield. this does however not tell if there is an interest in it on the market, but I'd also not merch

-
thanks! but no... no max ar for req -> merch

these quirks I have usually seen sell in the low double dirgit arm range. pur for auction and add a realistic b/o after a week or so

it is not that they changed that.
what happened is the following: they made the unid values of the items be fixed value (as on all dungeon end chest), but they made it dependent on party level with thelowest resulting fixed unid value be 10g. now they also fixed a level dependent gold item rate that was non zero for the lowest of level. this leads to gold items at 10g unid, which is lower than the 12g unid for regular item drops. 10g allows for q3, but not q2 and the min stat for 10g is lower than for 12g for most wep types, which is why all the reqs 3-6 will have new min stats from maz chest. hope this makes sense.

New min dmg range for gold q3 staff. From Maz chest loot in pre-searing dungeon.
I do see itis technically a new min... but all weapon types will have a new min stat for our tables in gold rarity from that chest since it does work fundamentally different than reegular drops. question is - do we add them in the table? generally we do not even list min dmg for rarity in the table -should we?
-

but not exclusively from z-chest because i am 100% sure i've gotten them somewhere in EotN.
good catch! dungeon endchests do also drop these (at least some. I am unaware if all...
-
gold insc has dropped since introduction of zchest and does now also drop in both new dungeons in pre and post
gold os has dropped in the first days of the new dungeon in pre only in the end chest
purple insc is new since the introduction of the pre dungeon and now drop on those two end chests.
purple os is same situation as gold os.
so technically 2 new prenerf thingies in regards to ball hammers.

rarest and most expencive are two different things also... asking for still dropping stuff or the prenerfery?
one that definitely is the rarest and one of the most expencive is definitely that q8 15% undcond axe. not that it would be for sale... also unique and damn expencive are the henchmen tonics. but there is plenty other things that really are unique but yet not near as valueable. and then ofc there is things that are damn rare, can still drop, but bone has ever been dropped yet. and those that I think of wouldn't come close to the value of those items mentioned before. like the q3 equine aegis for example. it is just that there is not as much use or interest to them. with the amount of botting being done it would definitely not be out of the odds to see one, if it were pursued. but there is no reason to do it since... yeah not as pricey.

yeah - possibly more even. esp if a bid war ensues! put for auction and see

dusk blade should get you 20-50e, mammoth 5-10e, rest I'd merch
-
aight - 5 more shields to reach the monumental milestone of 50% completion on the "all possible mod combos (no matter req, max, rarity, pre/post or name)"
I'll pay a least of 1a for any new combination till there - help me out!
linked here in the OP are tables of exactly what I need (not 100% updated - 23 shields are not in there yet but I intended to save the update for when I reach the 50%)
-
def 1&2 1a/each
-
-
"the 20/20"? youmean a sundering modded one? that does not affect price at all. the mod can be changed and costs 1e or less. what makes it valueable is q8 max damage, skin and the perfect inherent (unchangeable) 15^50 mod.
-
these sell into 1500a+ put for auction and wait. definitely an echovald in those stats will only be a fraction of the price. like 50a maybe
-
yeah... better run the dungeon for a chance for a gold max q8 crysta - that would definitely be crackers!
-
-
accept post payment for pre ball hammer? if so: bo 1a
(I can go first) -
pre axes 1a/each (if post payments accepted)
-
booo! take that dislike yoo!

but ye... seeing it's on a mel... no way I can get my hands on it anyways - but to anyone out there...
-
10 ar is fucked up. no gold shield can regularly drop that low. that means maybe we are going to see q2 golds?!
