I also seem to recall a fair number of q8 Ele Swords (Raptor farm?) kicking around.

You are correct, there are Q8 Ele Swords, they still drop today, but not from Raptors, their levels are not within the range (Raptors are 24 and Raptor Nestlings are 15). There are a few other ways they can drop, I believe the lvl 20 Questzals are a possibility.

Regarding the Colossals, I should say that as far as I know, when one dropped earlier this year, there was a lot of discussion of which exist and only 3 could be accounted for, doesn't mean that maybe someone has one in a vault, but it in the end, it just shows how rare they are.

Great topic, one of my favorites, all awesome points above.

A few things to add from a statistic level based on some personal tracking that others may or may not find interesting.

I have always been an avid Chest Runner, however I have started to track all of my chest drops for the last 17 months.

I do track both HM and NM chest drops. Out of the total of 15k chests I have tracked during this time, I have now logged 10,355 NM chests (woohoo to this milestone hehe), I only run NM chests that have Q8 chances, including Canthan, Elonian, Kournan, and Maguuma chests. I have received a total of 53 Q8 Max items from these 10k chests. This is where my general rules of thumb of "1 Q8 out of 200 NM chests" comes from. What should be no surprise to anyone is that 50 of those were focuses, 3 were shields, 0 Swords.

I will also do some solo farming for foes 17-21, will occasionally get a q8, but very few between. The one advantage of this though is that you are not blowing through lockpicks

Edit: In light of the reference to the Dead Sword Farm as there are Level 20s in HM, the other known farm with this similar feature (level 20s in HM) is the Moddock Crevice Mission which has been known to be farmed for q8 colossal scimitar even though there is only 3 known to exist. But this doesn't stop some people from farming there, lots of armor though. If you sit in the outpost, you will likely see some repetitive farmers going straight for 24 hrs straight (yup, we all know what those are).

I feel your pain!

One thing that Anet has done over the last year is introduce a Chat Filter process using an INI file that you can maintain.

I understand that it isn't a 100% solution, even though it requires maintenance on your part, it still helps a lot.

Here is an article on this site if you haven't seen it already

Chat Filter - Filter out gold spammers.

Within the INI file, there has been a variety of suggestions on how to set up this file. This is what mine looks like so you can add to it with different text. It is character specific so you have to be careful of zeros, symbols, spaces, etc.

Quote from Katie Pitts

Wroth's Holy Rod is a good one

Just for clarification for anyone not aware, this would be only the prenerf version, not the current day drop version.

The valuable one is:

Holy damage: 11-22 (Requires 9 Smiting Prayers)Halves skill recharge of Protection Prayers spells (Chance:20%)Halves casting time of Protection Prayers spells (Chance:20%)

In light of Max's question "But the most important question is are you looking to buy, or are you valuing to sell?", I am going to automatically assume this is to buy as 4 of these items do not possibly come in OS other than Mauso's, and those wouldn't be Q8.

15^50 ancient recurve bow

15^50 sturdy recurve bow

15^50 azure recurve bow

15^50 skull recurve bow

I just wanted to put this out there as you will never find these as they are not possible drops.

"Agent Chevy" originated when I first played Battlefield 1942 online when that came out in 2002. I kept this name throughout all games that followed. The Chevy reference is the obvious part, related to my passion for Chevy's. At that time, I had 3 Chevy vehicles, now have 2, one of them being the same 1973 Nova Muscle Car I had back at that time.

OH my, they both scare me! Not even sure what imitation of either would be. Since undercooked real chicken is scary as well, I will go with imitation beef.

Merch Both. Not Max dmg for current day Q8 and no inherent on the Great Axe.

Destroyer Weapons

Deldrimor or Imperial Weapons?

Not too shabby for my first chest today.

Being that DMG 11-21 with HSR 18% is current day max for Q8 Gold Staff, it's heartbreaking that the HCT Healing isn't 1 more %, but I will give it a home.

I do like the idea of showcasing newer drops, however I think this is currently already being done in the "How did Guild Wars Treat you Today?" thread. At least that's where I tend to post any drops that are worthy of sharing it's existence as a new item introduced into the game, but on the other hand, it's also the same thread where other things (bad drops, good purchases, accomplishments in game) are also posted so it is a mixture of stuff.
