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.
And when I thought I would have a good start to the new year....
My hopes get crushed

I did not know that but I never salvage Celestial Sigils so I guess I haven't missed out on anything, but now I know if I do, I need to ID first, thanks!
Now I am questioning "what else do I not know", is there a setting to allow rare items to drop and I have it turned off??
LOL wow how did I not know this??? I can't be the only one??
This was my only account that had that unchecked. Thank you Neutral_CH
You can check boxes Wich bag party are displayed in the merchant windows. Pretty useful for me, when let's day your backpack contains only armor and your weapons you don't wanna sell = better overview in merchant windows and less fear of selling a clean beauty to Shatam for a scam price 😁👍
Blind Was My Fury am I blind now, where is the clean at?! 🤔 🫣
After 20 years, I have not known this, but also not finding this check box?
I am curious if anyone else has seen this.
I just realized that on one of oldest accounts (19.5 years old), items within the Belt Pouch do not display in the Merchant Sell window on any of the characters.
It's like it is invisible???
Yes, I have spoken with a variety of players over the years who also farm this location but didn't know that whether you are doing it in HM for more golds or NM for potential Q8 drops (my preference), upon killing all of the Assassins and cleaning out their pockets, even if you are not going to take out Senkai, you run to the bottom of the stairs then run back, a good percentage of the time a chest will pop-up back where the first group of Assassins were. You can also dodge the 2nd wave by running off to the side to let them pass then opening the chest.
Sounds like you were aware of this, maybe someone else reading this will have a lightbulb moment for the next time they approach this farm.
Luxon Clan drops Luxon Wardrobe
The 1,000 Daggers is a Canthan NPC guild with its guild hall on the edge of the Jade Sea, in the northeastern corner of the Boreas Seabed. They have not meddled in Luxon affairs for two hundred years.
During the Halcyon Job, it is shown that this guild is hired by the Kurzicks, and the player must assassinate their leader, Lord Senkai. Afterwards, Captain Rion of the Halcyon, took over Senkai's place as leader.
The question is, do you check for the hidden pop-up chest after clearing the Luxon Assassins? Not everyone is aware of this little trick.
sorry, but q8 felly is out of the options to drop. anywhere
my bad if that is the case, I guess I assumed since insc can drop that an OS still could somewhere.
For example, my records show Fellblades dropping from chests in HM in Undercity, why would they not drop in an NM chest as q8?
Nowhere specific, since it's a core item, it's very hard to farm for it, making them pretty rare, especially q8s.
Felly's certainly can. Essentially any sword, shield or focus skin that can drop from a level 16-20 foe can drop Q8 gold.
Same goes for chests that can drop Q8s (list of those chests can be found here Chests with Q8 Max Drop Possibilities
Is there a specific place best suited for dropping fellblades? Would love to explore build making!
There isn't really any specific farming place for Fellblades, but the Crystal Desert isn't a bad place to consider for options.
Felly's certainly can. Essentially any sword, shield or focus skin that can drop from a level 16-20 foe can drop Q8 gold.
Same goes for chests that can drop Q8s (list of those chests can be found here Chests with Q8 Max Drop Possibilities
statistically more like 10.000.000 runs... but it can happen
lol I was giving a little hope with the 100k but 10M+ is more realistic, but still possible 
Here's what I've been using upon your inspiration. OgcUcZsmxvQ3l/aj1oSXG+GCHIQA
It works to farm the trolls in the early section as well as kill each Redwood in hopes of a chest spawn. The Redwoods are weak to fire, so I chucked a fire mod on the bow alongside the 20% vs plants. NM hits 80-120 with PBS and ZS. I end up running it backwards to hit the trolls early. Thanks for the great info here!
Hoping for more perfect +5e's....
Glad to see my old Chest Running posts are still referenced in some form. I am also a fan of farming Reed Bog when not chest running.
Imagine this... since you got yourself a Short Sword +5e, Reed Bog can drop max gold Q8 swords, this is what dreams are made of
Good luck and do share when you get that max q8 sword, it may take 1 to 100k+ runs but it is possible!

I thought it was appropriate to farm a little pre-searing on Thanksgiving morning and I was thankful for this drop
