Have we had any Chimeric Prism drop locations yet?
Yes, it's documented in the OP.

It seems plausible to me that new stuff may only come from chests there and not the charr. Raptors were sorta like that, even before the new skins get involved - I'm not sure that raptors+boss are capable of dropping starfish foci, saurian scythes - the chests that spawn in the nest definitely can though.
I'm pretty convinced mantids outside nahpui don't drop new skins even in hm.
They probably don't. Probably because they're too low-level in NM.

From all the stats so far, do we know or can we predict that the new weapons can also drop as max dmg q8? As in, same way all the current weapons can (sword can still drop as 15-22, but not axes anymore etc).
For the PvP items, yeah q8 max should be possible, since many have dropped from Raptors at least. Some people have reported level 20 mobs dropping the new items in NF, which would probably mean that q8 is possible, but AFAIK there's no proof.
Edit: nvm, raptors are lvl15 in NM so it shouldn't be possible there.

I don't think you should add Moddok Corsairs to the locations with no drops. I only got about 20 gold weapons there because they drop so much armor for some reason. We probably need a larger sample.

Do non-max leadership shields exist??
Since the anniversary update, new builds with 5 strength-shields are quite funny, such builds could also be created if there were non-max (4 or 5 leadership) shields, but I've never seen any yet. Has someone ever seen one dropping??
Thx if someone knows!
Since only the new shields can drop with leadership requirement, we just don't know yet, but it seems highly unlikely at this point. We've only seen low q in eotn and only for items that can drop in non-gold rarity (I think this includes Stonedge and some other sword, no shields). If low q for the other items was possible we'd surely have seen someone sell them by now.

More I farm, and more I guess when you farm a quest like "the halcyon job", "a new escort", the Undeads in désolation etc etc are still on the same loot table.
I farmed many of those quests, many many runs and I never had a single new skin (except from chests in the areas).
WoC works differently for sure, dunno why that's the only farmable quest which drop new skins.
Is anyone else can confirm that, or the opposite maybe?
I don't have any other farmable quest in mind, and I also tried "protect the halcyon" and still new skins (but it's the quest I tried the less).
WoC may be the exception because it's supposed to be hard (even though the quest that's farmed is bugged so it's relatively easy to farm). Still, I don't see any general rule regarding the new drops yet. It just feels like they smashed their head against the keyboard when making drop tables.

It might be possible that low req can drop from low level foes in "high level areas". Someone correct me if I'm wrong but for enemies that can be seen wielding weapons, the only golds they can drop are those weapons? It could be possible that in proph/fac/nf these foes can't drop the new items because they weren't implemented in this context due to technical issues or simply laziness, since only eotn drops the new items in non-gold quality. This would explain why Slave spirits don't drop anything new even though they're in a high-level area.
Edit: nvm this seems unlikely given that Dragon mosses don't seem to drop anything... I really don't know at this point. That lone Rock beetle seems to be an anomaly.
Edit2: for some reason I thought Mosses were lvl 20 so the above might still be possible. Still, the fact Mosses don't seem to drop anything is odd on its own.

100+ golds from Corsairs in Moddok HM, nothing new. They drop a lot of armor though, not sure if that would affect the drop rate.
-
Got about 90 golds from Slave spirits in HM, nothing new. If a new item did drop from a Rock beetle then either only specific foes can drop them or the drop rate is absurdly low. Gonna try Corsairs in HM Moddok crevice next.

Gentleman Xander give us details! what skin, what mob, favor, waht build, full moon, in what direction were you looking, did you bring any sort of luck totem?
I reflected the moonlight off my waxed butt to ensure all the luck would be concentrated in one moment. Jokes aside, it dropped from a beetle in NF.
If it was a rain beetle in Garden of seborhin it might have been level 24, since both 20 and 24 spawn there apparently.

I ID'd the longbow by mistake, I'm guessing that's gonna affect the price a bit. The longbow is max for its requirement.
Thanks.

Killed thousands of HM minotaur in Elona reach during favor and dozens of Hydra and Desert griffons, nothing. I did get the new items from chests, some of them linked to minotaurs. I don't think I'm gonna bother with Cantha and Elona since based on our data the drops work the same way there.
It seems likely at this point that in proph/fac/nf the new items function much like the Fellblade in proph, in NM only high level foes and chests can drop them, while in low-level areas in HM only locked chests can drop them. Unfortunately this would exclude the possibility of q8 or lower in proph/fac/nf. For whatever reason eotn doesn't follow this rule since we've seen low q golds from raptor nestlings.

Istan chest. First confirmed drop there AFAIK.
-
Here is another thought.
Right now most of the the dagger version of the Glacial Blade seems to be from the 1st chest outside Boreal, which is a snow wurm chest.
Maybe the frost wurm in Frostmaw is the one that drop the sword version.
It has been a long time since I have done Frostmaw, but in SCs do they usually kill the wurms on each level?
Quite a few wurms are killed, especially in the last level.
On an unrelated note, I've killed well over 1000 undead in gates of Kryta HM during favor and none of the new skins dropped. Doing minotaurs in crystal dessert now. Super slow, but I'll report my findings when I'm done.

Anyone know of any decent crystal desert/maguuma HM farms? I'm trying to test if the new items can drop from foes there. I've been trying minotaurs in the beginning of Elona reach but there's not enough of them to be worth it.

On a side note, has anyone tried farming Missing Daughter or Slave Spirits since the update?
Hey.
Yes I tried slave spirits, and still the same loot table atm. I'll try more this farm soon I guess because there's much more important to farm (WoC, Vaettirs, Fenrir, Nolani or Raptors for my top 5)
Did you get anything from Nolani yet?

Hey,
We can also mention that the known farms in Cantha (mantids and dragon moss) got the same loot table as before.
I tried a lot, and ATM I never saw a new skin.
Someone else have the same conclusion?
This is also my experience (mantids and dragon moss), also 0 new skins in hours casually playing normal mode (where ever I tried, inclusive chests). All new skins I got where from WoC and vaettirs...
I also did a lot of non-woc fac farms in factions and gates of kryta, 0 new skins from foes. Weirdly enough, drops have been confirmed in Vabbi from Skree and obviously eotn foes. I wonder if proph/fac is bugged.
