Req 8/7 Items
SweFighter
Ok people I have never ever got a Q8/7 req Item ingame. And They go for so much money. So I wonder if there is any special place for farming them. And do you do this farm in NM or Hm?. And if you are a Q8/7 farmer where do you farm?
LordScro
Q7/8 can drop anywhere in both NM or HM. It's foolish to try and farm for them as they rarely drop, especially Q7
FoxBat
I'd settle for inscribable q8 armor15 shields. There has to be a place to farm those.

Fixed. Req. 7 AR 15 inscribable shields exist. Req. 8 inscribables can drop max. The Raptor Nestlings(HM) dropped a Req. 7 15 AR shield for me during the St. Patty's weekend. I've merched many Req. 8 15 AR shields because they're one point off in both directions for any usefulness to me.
SweFighter
So what can a Q7 15 AR be worth u think?
MisterB
Check Ventari. Depends on attribute. Strength = merch food.

I can't think why I'd want to only run 7 in Strength, apart from some niche farming build, maybe. Perhaps someone who can would be more interested in such a shield.

req 8 max weapons/offhands still drop, albeit very rarely.
req 7 max weapons/offhands don't drop anymore (some people will disagree with this)

Use the edit button instead of posting several times in a row - Marty Warriors want max Str shields. People (paragons, possibly some caster professions) want req 7 AL 15 shields because they would put 7 into a shield attribute but couldn't afford the 8th point without compromising something. Strength is unwanted because Wars can only put points into that.

Assume that most tactics shields with req 8 or lower are put on casters, most often monks (I'd say 95% of the time) - tactics skill tree offers some nice defensive stances.
Ive personally never used a tactics shield on my warrior.

I think the way the 'breakpoints' work, r8/16 and r6/14 tactics shields are the only valuable ones (r7/15 in a few cases, perhaps - 5-10k). At least that's what I remember from playing w/ attribute points. 
I got a few r6/14's, and a few r8/16's (inscribable, of course).
I don't know how many r8/16 non-insc and r8/15 insc shields I've vendored (lots - took 40 hours raptor farm just to get an r8/16 insc)...

Mr.Kotte
I've gotten quite a few 16AL r8's from DoA SC's. None gold though 
SweFighter
So there is rly no diffrent if u "farm" in HM or NM to get them?

nope no difference, they drop anywhere, but your best bet for attempting to farm them, is any of the "noob" islands, beginning of factions and nightfall, and in HM so that it's worthwhile atleast, you will not get any nice skins, but you will get LOTS of low Q items, some are sometimes max, but low q's drop more often in these areas than anywhere else. i have a q8 max fellblade and i have no idea where i got it, it dropped for me when i first started playing the game on my first character almost 4 years ago. And because i was noob, i customized it!! lol. wish i never did that, anyway, good luck

I think really the best place to get r8 max stuff is from enemies in the lvl18-24 range. I remember getting a few q8 max gold shield from the dead sword farm (lvl20 enemies). They were bad skins though. Basically though, find aa enemy type that drops a skin you want etc, and hope theres a grouop of them in that lvl range. They'll be rare though, so dont expect one every few runs :P

i got a req 8 eternal ow 14^50 drop for me once, over 1000 hours of playing, 4 years, and thats the only gold q8 ive ever gotten. sum ppl think that q8s come from nm more. i dont know...

That's nice there is such a generous person.
Even nicer that you're smart enough not to merch those. When u were newbie and only lvl7.

ive picked up a few r8 items in the snowman dungeon, mostly blue and nothing of too much interest so far. though the majority of what i see drop are shields in that area. apologies if somebody already said anything about this before i posted (im a lazy read at times 
)

go NM chestrun at vermins,here i got r8 max celestial shield 5-6 mounth ago..

I've gotten a few r8 Healing Ankh's out of DoA, and a bunch of other R8's just doing Vanquishes.
distilledwill
Recently dropped for me, ive a few others too. I have a r8 Eagle Defender which is pretty nice.
I can't really say where I got it, just generally fighting (and actually, kinda better in NM as you hit the fine line between a r8 15al and a r8 16al.
snodaard
got a r8 gold eagle defender during Vanquishing noob island. out of a threasure chest

I've received almost all my items of these in HM. From the Cathedral of Flames run in HM -
15/7 Command Skull Shield (two of them actually)
+12e/8 Death Grim Cesta
+12e/8 Domination Majestic Focus
From the Spectral Vaettirs (on my Obsidian Flesh ele, not keg farming) in HM -
+12e/8 Illusion Inscribed Chakram
Finally, from the Kournan mobs outside the castle thing in the Rilohn Refuge mission in NM -
max q8 Fiery Gladius, the animated skin
Honestly it's just random, I wouldn't know where to tell you to farm.

I got a q7 tactics 15 AR rare Great Conch when I accidentally forgot to switch to NM when I farmed the raptors during one of the events. Great Couch drops quite a bit during raptor runs so if you really want to try for a q7 15 AR, then NM raptor runs is the way to go.
Despite the hideous look, I was happy with the shield, as stated above, it is a very nice shield (stat wise) in PvP. Namely for monks. When I PvP with my monk and am using a stance such as Balanced / Discipline / Bonetti's or whatever, attribute distribution allows me to fit in 8 points in tactics. Since it is a q7 tactics shield, my monk has an additional 15 armor instead of 8 (max shield without meeting requirement gives half armor bonus). Now why not use a q8 shield instead? Two reasons:
- If you someone inflicts weakness on you, you'll have 7 in tactics, thus no longer meeting the shield requirement if you were using a q8 shield.
- I am not sure if there's a nice attribute distribution for 7 in tactics but 8 in tactics was a nice breakpoint for some stances before the nerf anyway.
Hope this helped.

It has been confirmed that Q7 maxed weapons and shields no longer drop, I believe. They did in the beginning but were very rare. In a later update the minimum requirement was upped by one so to speak. Now, Q8 maxed weapons and shields are possible, but are usually light blue ones. I have gotten several of them, and they do still drop but quite rarely.
My most rare q7 drop is this shield I got in the good old days on a Hydra farm run in the desert.
Defender (gold)
Armor 16: (Requires 7 strength)
Health +44 (while Enchanted)
Received physical damage -3 (while hexed)
I donated to Retcute But Deadly. She has a very impressive collection on her website. I think she also has my old Q8 eternal shield inthere somewhere.

When you farms raptors, a lot of 16 armor r8 tactics inscribable blue conches drop. I've dumped a ton of them for around 10k each. Alway look carefully at blue shields from EotN and Nightfall for 16 armor r8 - they are often times inscribable.
Yesterday, I just opened a chest in NM Factions mission Nahpui Quarter, and out dropped a gold 'large' spiked shield, 16 armor r8 strength. I've stashed it away, unidentified! Also, about 2 years ago, the same 16 armor r8 'large' spiked shield dropped for me in EotN (forget details, back when I was starting out)...

I've found the floor in DoA after a full DwG run to be one of the best places to farm these.
I've had a q8 conch from warband hm, and 7s/8s from raptors in both nm and hm while getting my warrior's asura rank from 3-9 (so a few runs..).
People rarely check their blues, so thats about the best thing you can "exploit" in my opinion.
