No6. 200e please

I do have a q8 storm artifact gold singlemod and a shield you might potentially like... 45wE 1/20air...

Hit me up ingame

that sounds like a lot of fun - I'd be interested in some of the real old prophecies chestruns I might have forgotten about... or those for tower shields or defenders, if you know of any that have a high chance for this particular skin

But you could also make a thread of this, or you'd probably repeat certain things many times.

See you ingame soon

Side note: I can make a +1 on this guys trustworthiness! If I'd ever have the problem of having too much money to deal in one trade - I'd readily trust him on that.

I fear they are worth less: the q8 wands will get some interest due to pre nerf, but not for use since df hct/hsr is useless pretty much. Still they are dualmod q8 wands - I'd see them at 10-20a/ea. The foc is sadly one off, still should get few arms, but not above 5. The last one is pretty hard to tell, since perf matching in a collector perspective, yet entirely useless and high req. I'd still aim for few arms here. But I as well might be entirely off - better wait on few more opinions

absolutely agree with hgt - it is an insanely rare skin at perf mods it'll get you a stack of arms, I suppose. Only an auction will tell more precisely.

My advice: don't sell it, esp not for maxing zrank - there is nothing you could get that'd compare to this (not even the zrank emote, go to kammy - many ppl have it, but I have never seen a kappa anywhere like this.)

thanks for the offers and ingame additions!

This is a bump

Quote from Agent Chevy

Hey Red, Started going through my low level collection and found this beauty, will make a new max dmg Q6 Axe...

There may be a higher one out there since this is now the same max dmg as Q5 but until I find it

Awesome! I think 21 is the highest upper limit for dmgrange with a lowend of 7 and thus almost all reqs (not q4 I suppose since the unid range for those doesn't extend to the unid values for 7-21s) that can drop with 7-xx can drop with 7-21. We'll see

Do you remember where it came from?

1. Yes - lvl 17-21, highest chance at lvl 20, lvl 21 so far is only theory based on my research how drops work, chance there would be insanely rare, but likely possible.

2. Yes they drop in nm and hm alike.

3. Yes lvl 20mobs in HM can drop max q8, problem is there is barely any lvl 20mobs in hm, but the mentioned in moddock can drop.

4. Yes they can drop from chests near corsair mobs. Barbarous shore is a good address for them - I had a couple in nm and hm already, but none max q8 in nm (hm can't drop q8 from chests.)

5. They are known to drop from other sources as well, such as dungeon end chests, also apparently certain mobs in eotn can drop them. Read the wiki discussion page on the skin - user entries of observed drops are usually correct and helpful. - my own researches don't extend to which mob drops which skin yet since an insane amount of data would be necessary for all the skins and mobs...

Hope it helps a bit

I'll try, wait for other replies however

1. 30e rare wanted skin, perf

2. 20e rare wanted skin, not so desired dmg mod

3. 30e+ rare desired skin, perf mods, could go higher

4. 15e core skin perf

5. 20e good skin rare mod, useledd (more if you find a collector)

6. 10-15e dualvamp onehand for pvp, unwanted by collectors since q10

7. Merch-10e high req, rather useless, still rare skin and dualmaxmod, not sure

8. Unsure around 10e good mods, high req, don't know much about skin

9. Unsure around 15e good mods, high req, don't know much about skin

10. 50-100e perf mods, good skin, unfortunately str, but still

11. Merch-10e if you find collector (hello ) max mods, unwanted combination

12. Rare good insc low req daggs in gold, but I do not know price

13. No clue, but quite a bit, good skin, desired, desired attr expect a couple hundred ecto (rather in the lower range however)

Hope it helps - but wait for more

No. 3,12,13 would be easier sales, the others are rather difficult

5a SWS, 15a forked pls C:

so close... I remember a q8 18/10/11-21 20hct fire staff of myself... I still enjoyed it

bumpers

sun and moon shield is worth something, the earth staff rather not so much - 5-10e if you find a buyer

tower shield 2e pls

<--- so jealous of those two shields: crude and tall. Huge GZ on those (and all the other stuff :P)

mod combination is unwanted + nonmax armor = merch sadly.

EDIT removed the inappropriate bits from PC thread, sry cosy - switched to pm

***mod edit--and the moderator would tell you to take this to pm and not in price check as this is for price checking ONLY---mod edit***

yet another bump C:

Quote from Mavygr

Those who are familiar with presearing will appreciate the awesomeness of this drop...

That is absolutely correct! Highest dmg for white axe, lowest req for such axe, best skin of an axe and on top of all: highest goldvalue occuring in pre - huge GZ!

just for comparison: every 25th foc from lvl 20 source is max q8 and every 75th shield. That means again for 99% certainty you have a q8 max one you'd have to farm 112 foci or 350 shields respectively. The times depend on the spot you are farming by their drop rates. Assuming similar drop rates and times at a virtual location as for swords at moddock that'd be 5 days for foc and 16 days for shield (roughly). But usually foci drop more often than swords...

The chestrunning alternative would give better chance for max q8s as per time, but also terribly higher chance of purples - for one of any rarity you'd have to run somewhere around 80.000 chests for statistically having one max sword, 370.000 for a 99% certainty, and for getting a gold one those numbers are roughly 5times higher - 430.000 and 2.000.000 to be precise. A good chestrun yields 1chest/min meaning for the 99% at a gold max sword you'd be running 4 years constantly - compared to that the hm farming seems a little better even

Okay HM drops aren't all gold either, but there's maybe 20-30% purples, extending the calculated 3years to maybe 4years. But still equal to chestrunning nm. If the rates actually are lower though - times and sword drop rates (which I fear - the above estimation was rather optimistic) it could well be that HM farming is less effective.

Just wanted to put those numbers for anyone who'd attempt getting one

Nice topic!

I can say from my statistics that nm and hm drops work exactly the same, but the intersection set of levels is rather low - esp regarding the fact that technically everything above and including lvl 24 works exactly the same (they have cut the upper limits for drops or we'd have a situation as in pre, where there are a hand full of pre max dmg hammers after many years into the game). Regarding the q8 topic the question is even more difficult since regular mobs start at lvl 22 in hm, which cannot drop any q8. So as you properly pointed there is only a hand full of quests that spawn lvl 20 foes.

That being said - I didn't farm any of those particular foes nor did I record a q8 gold/prpl item elsewhere in hm.

But I am 100% convinced that lvl 20 in hm works just like lvl 20 in nm and thus can drop q8. I'll leave a little statistics here:

The chance for a q8 max sword is around 1 in 5500 gold/purple sword drops. That means after having farmed 5500 gold/prpl swords you can expect to statistically have one to be max q8. The chance you have actually had one drop by then is around 63% (1-1/e for any mathematicians). If you'd want to have 99% certainty that'd mean you'd have to farm for 25000 g/p swords. So if I assume a sword drop rate such that you get a sword in 5% of the runs (is that approximately correct?) And a run taking 3min (I think that is rather optimistic including rezone etc - what would you put?) You'd have to farm that single spot for 3years. 24h a day 7days a week all year.

For foci those numbers are significantly smaller, if trying to prove hm can drop max q8 by actually dropping one I'd search for a mob that meets the criteria but drops foci (no clue if such exists).

Other than that: since nf was introduced nothing regarding dmg ranges and reqs of drops changed, so the dead swords insc q8 that exist would prove the point just as the independent drop of gold q8 items and max dmg items from the same mobs do. But I understand your curiosity to actually see one dropping and will look into proper quests myself when I find time - I mean a higher rare item drop rate is intriguing as well as farming for that one drop...

bump - thanks for ingame additions

20e hex iri pls

I'll take b/o 15e on defender pls

plat wand death q13 20/10 40e pls

Quote from Rurik_shoepolisher

atleast i try

Thanks a lot for the offer - I encourage everyone to take an example and at least try

I do have this version in q9 and max mods already, so I don't need - sry.

This is a bump
