Quick question -

Have any of you heard of/seen r7 max gold bows?

I know Swords exist, and apparently axes as well, and shields do, but I have not heard of any bows.

Not sure, but probably (though incredibly rare). I got a gold (non-max) r7 spear about 6 months ago, so chances are any weapon can drop as a r7.

r7 drops are possible for all weapons, offhands and shields, but they are EXTREMELY rare (especially gold weapons)

No R7 Gold, Max Damage and Max Modded Bows. End of story. You can try to prove me wrong, but you will fail.

Can you prove your own statement? No you can't there for your reasoning is garbage. Come back with better reasoning.


I am sure there are bows out there on accounts that have not been logged on in ages. It is possible to get r7 max everything as someone stated but the odds of it happening are slim to none.

The same could be said of your own statements.

I haven't seen any req 7 bows being traded.

I've seen a perfect r7 bow being sold once in the three years I've been playing, it was a Composite Bow skin.

They do exist, or at least did at one time. Anyone who had one was lucky as a lotto winner, and anyone that still does is even more lucky.

Yeah, it exists, but I'm sure it's quite rare, just like a perfect mod, except even rarer than that. Notice how the r12 bows and other weapons are common, as they want to make it harder to deal good damage with a weapon you just find instead of one that you get from a boss (which in most cases is harder), or something like that...

Could be a D-oh!

But, it was a gold r7, and the only thing that made it not a "perfect" spear was the inscription was only a +14% "strength & honor". And since the question was about gold max weapons...

I don't farm, so I don't know, but isn't it rare (or incredibly rare) to get a r7 gold drop? (Even if its not max?)

R7 is more rare on a non max gold then say a blue non max, but, an R7 for a non max weapon has a pretty good chance. As a non max weapon would be used by a lower level character that can't quite put 9, 10, 11 attributes points in at that point in the game.

Does that make any sense? That is the best I can explain it

LOL - thanks, I appreciate the information. I know that it can drop fairly easily on a white weapon drop. But, so far, after 2 years of play, this was the first (and so far only) r7 gold I've found. I was all excited about it because it was my understanding that gold r7's were incredibly rare. Then someone told me that its only max gold r7's that are extremely rare, and I wasn't sure if mine was or not. It looks to be, aside from the inscription, which can be changed of course to a perfect mod.

Anyhow, I was just trying to let the OP know that - theoretically - a r7 gold max bow is possible, even if highly unlikely.

Are you saying you have a max inscribable r7 bow?

Pics or it didn't happen.

Let me put it this way.
Considering that there are R7 items of various items surgests that there must have been R7 gold max bows around.
However, the chance of anyone finding one and posting a picture are very limited.
A couple of months ago a legendary sword dropped from an dungeon chest for a guildie of mine.
I asked what req it was and the reply: "dunno, salvaged it because it had a high-salvage mod on it". I think 95% of the GW players do the same.
They will either salvage or merch the item.

One question on this.
Does 'max' mean the item must have perfect mods or are we just talking max damage?

I've seen no evidence of the bows, nor have any names of possible owners, past or present been mentioned.

I'm talking about a gold lettered, max-damage, Requirement 7 bow. I don't care about non-max golds, or other items. Hell, I don't even care about if it has a damage modifier on it.

I don't care about speculation, either. Sorry to sound rude but pretty much none of the answers thus far have been helpful, except for Savio's statements.

Does anyone have evidence or verifiable reference to an r7 max gold bow? I've had some very rare items pass through my hands, and I've seen and heard of many more rare items, but I've never heard of a max r7 bow

Let me offer 10e to anyone who can show evidence of a max dam gold r7 bow with any max modifier.

I searched for this three years ago and have not seen one or heard of one eva.

To say someone may have merched it? >__< No cause it did not drop and even if no one would merch a r7 max gold bow.

You may as well say that max req 0 bows exist, it doesn't matter if nobody actually has any. If they existed, one would have eventually found its way to the market.

This thread indicates that nobody has found req 7 wands, daggers, or bows.

What if their is one on an inactive account? How is it supposed to get itself on the market? What if a req7 bow was accidently merchanted? Just because one wasn't on the market doesn't mean that their weren't any. I am the first to admit that I do not know if they actually exist or not all I am saying that it is possible that they did or still do exist. We do have req7 staffs/sword/axes and other items, what makes you think that a req7 bow isn't possible? Anyways, I'm off for tonight, gotta head out.

In said thread you wrote: "If you can prove it, great; if you can't, stop posting."

Where's your proof? And that thread indicate's nothing, just that the several of a million people who play Guild Wars had not seen one.

Hmmm I hope I don't get banned for arguing with mod

I don't see where I ever stated that they weren't possible. I make no statement except that nobody has any proof they exist. Snow Bunny isn't asking for rumors or speculation, and I will close this thread if those are the only responses he gets.

I'm pretty damned sure that my buddy DFJ has one thats 12^50, but i don't know if thats what you're seeking seeing as you said "maxed", it's max dmg, but, mod, not so much, i'll see if i can get him back on gw to show it to me a trade so i can SS it, he hasn't played for reals for like, almost a year, he just recently got into playing very rarely again recently, i'll see if i can hit him up on xfire.

when it comes to inscri, r8 inscris aren't very uncommon, but a 7 would be, well, lets just say, rivaling anything else available in the game in price, if you ask me.

Used to know a big power trader by the name of E S E who was in my and dfj guild that used to have the saying "r9 burns ese's eyes", dude had a r7 of like everything, and r8's, but alot more r7s, lots of r7 dual modded staves and wands so, contrary to popular beliefe wands and staves can drop r7 as well.
