I'm just wondering if they still drop.. I've heard from many people both versions that they do... and they don't.. I recently heard of an alliance member opening a chest in hard mode factions near the vermin and getting a req 7 Crennelated blade.. but I never knew if that was real or not as I asked to see the blade but never go around to seeing it.. I used to get req 8 drops I know from chest runs.. but Im not sure i've seen any lately.. is it that they "Dont drop at all" Or they do just alot more rare then they used to?
Anyone have any info on if req 8 and 7 items still drop or not at all?
If you got a req 8 drop recently, post it here.. my roomate has a req 8 Inscrib kornan defender he bought from someone once.. so I know req 8 inscr shields exist.. but do req 8 inscr swords , axes spears ect?
I looked for other threads but im blind I cant seem to find any others discussing req 8 and 7 items.
Have you gotten a req 7 or 8 item recently?

I asked this question in the Q&A section a few days ago, and the answer is "yes".
Req 8 inscribable shields/focuses/caster weapons are relatively common and definitely contineu to drop.
Req 8 weapons are a bit more rare, but they definitely exist, especially in blue or purple form. I'm not sure if many of these are from the rarer areas (e.g. Urgoz's Warren, The Deep, The HoH Chest, The Zaishen Chest), but they definitely still drop.

Yesterday I got a Req 8 Inspiration Magic Jeweled Chalice from a monster in Cathedral of Flames. It was inscribable...
Damn, why do things like that only fetch about 100 gp? -.-

What I want to know is whether anyone has seen a req 7 or 8 Scythe or Spear...I've never seen either of those.

Yep, i get r8 max item every so often, but they are all focuses ever since NF ... not a single weapon or shield
pumpkin pie

the truth is here:
max req.7s don't drop anywhere at all since NF release.
max req.8s do drop, they replaced the req.7s.
Basically if an item could drop as req.7 before NF it can now drop as req.8. The reason many people don't find any req.8s nowadays but did find r7s in the past is that they farm different spots or use HardMode.
Req.8s today:
Shields and foci are most common of them, I got some myself.
Swords are rare but still drop, I've seen some r8 inscribables (including a Fellblade, I couldn't believe first as I knew they never dropped as r7, but it's absolutely normal, it just dropped in NF)
Axes and Hammers were uber rare as req.7s, an early update could have removed possibility of their drops entirely, thus I haven't seen any single one post NF req.8
Bows, Staves, Wands, Daggers never dropped as max req.7 so they don't drop req.8 now.
Scythes and Spears were introduced in NF and never had r7 nor r8 max versions.

I bought Inscribed chakram +12 ene req8 (Domination Magic) inscr and gold of course. It dropped few days ago for him. So i think req 8 weaponss till drop. I doubt about req 7 gold weapons still dropping.
Ctb
The only req8 items I've ever gotten are junk caster items, save for a single req8 ivory bow long ago. Otherwise, it's all either non-max or 10+
But, then, I have the most abhorred luck at getting any useful drops at all in this game, so YMMV.

Yeah, I got a few of em a couple of days ago while vanquishing.

I got a nice req7 sword yesterday, shame the damage was 13-17...
Sox
yeah ive gotten a few r8's lately but all caster junk
MirkoTeran
I've got a few req8 offhands while vanquishing GWEN, but no req8 weapons. I also didn't get a single req8 item from last 2000 HM chest I ran so I doubt they even drop from chest anymore.
Brewmaster
My most recent R8 was a illusion magic chimeric eye, inscribable and all that. Otehr than that, I find lots of R8 whites when I'm chopping my way through Tyria.

also incorrect for daggers, as i had gold req8 Kris Daggers... were without inherent mod but still gold and max damage. Got them after NF release

Pfft, I keep finding those r6 swords, they're very very common.
... Oh wait, you mean max damage
. Nope, haven't seen one drop for me ever, at least nothing with any value.

I once got a req8 Shadow Blade.
I think it was my only req8 weapon ever. Too bad the skin sucks

i got a req 8 motive shield recently, insc purp

I kinda don't understand what's the fuss about req 7/8 weapons anyway, my warrior, ranger, assasin and paragon has at least 15 in their weapon attribute always, so it doesn't matter if the weapon is req 13, it still works like a charm .
But about topic: I don't recall getting any req 7/8 gold weapons myself other than Celestial Sword I use as a farming sword with my ele, it's max damage, 19% while hexed, non-inscripable and enchanting 19% which I later replaced with 20%. I got it as a drop not long after Factions release. Just recently when all this fuss about req 8's started I noticed that it's req 8. All other req 7/8's I've got has been either non-max or blue/purple.

I got a nicely modded max armour req 8 command shield recently. I think it was from one of the treasure chests. Unfortunately it was ugly so the mods were ripped off and put on a lovely but purple diamond aegis. My paragon is superficial.

Got a nice Req8 Stormbow about a week back.
Albert Algorn
I have been playing for a year and a half now and have never had a req 7 or 8 drop for me? It's not like I don't do HM or elite areas? So for me these Q7 and 8 items are a rumor... 
GreatBabai
recently got a req8 greater highlander blade (inscribable) from a hard mode snow worms. sadly it was blue colored so i give it to one of my heroes
Jeremy Untouchable

Crom The Pale
Last R8 I got was a Tall Shield, R8 tactics, inscribed but blue. I think Ill hold onto it rather than try and sell it. Seams people rather a gold R8 than a blue R8 though they are identical.
FYI this dropped in GWEN.
