dryad bows being non max?
i farm baddies
couldnt find a better place to put this so i hope it works
over the last 3 days i have tried to buy about 5 q9 dryad bows, i offer around 120e at the start and they always take it. when i open trade every time the bow is 14-28 and not max. not a big deal i know but the people i try to sell it too might want max and its just not a risk i want to take.
i think its pretty shitty that non max weapons that are exclusive to a dungeon chest are not even max.
i just wanted to share my frustration with the community and hear what you think

If I got non-max rare weapon, I would be so mad and destroy it right away.
Not merch it, not salvage it, not drop it... destroy it!

This happens occasionally with drops like the Dryad Bow, and it seems to happen more often to players that have been farming the same dungeon repeatedly.
If you're offering less than the "market" value of the item, you have to watch out very carefully for players offering non-max items.
More than likely it's one or two bows that are either being sold on alts or that have been passed around.

Do you mean that the mods aren't max? Because 14-28 is max for a bow.
Wait, nvm, it's 15-28. Never mind me here, my brain is fried. Yeah, I can see that being kind of annoying, as well as a bit weird.

On the bright side you can buy it cheaper.

All lv24+ gold/purple Bows, Hammers, Daggers have about ~0.1-0.2% chance to drop 1-off max damage. It's normal.
Bad drops happen, get used to it. I hate crybabies who want ALL their drops to be absolutely perfect. Even the 99.9% chance is not enough... lame.

ive only seen bows drop one off max (happens from z-chest alot) ive never seen anyother weapon drop one off max other than a bow

During many UW runs I have had 7-16 dmg daggers, now I know it's not a big deal as most daggers are cheap. I guess the only fix I can see here is to make weapons drop always max damage from end chests.

The only thing that sucks in my opinion is that arenanet added content for level 20 and experienced players which was required to be purchased to be played and yet non max stuff drops. This is why I never play dungeons unless someone needs me to come along for help, I'll be the nice guy I am and go, I always look forward to getting my 14-21 purple shortsword skin in the end... O.o
After almost 4 years and beating all games I feel I deserve the perfect drops. I'm sure many other can speak for that too.

i agree, if its level 20 content you should get max weapons. the first time i bought one it was 14-28 and i didnt notice, but i still sold it for 143e

It seems to me...
The lower the req required on an item the better chance it is to be non-max damage.
Yes, you can find R9 15-28 bows, but many times they are 14-28. On the flip side, every time I find an R13 it's always max damage.

I've ran Rragar's upwards of 80+ish times and seen 3 drops, 2 being q9 14-28

To be worried about 1 damage is stupid.. if 1 damage means so much to you then u must be doing very little damage to be QQ'ing about 1 extra damage.

You're paying for the best. Therefore, it should be the best.
I would find this annoying as well.

thats like being stuck with the same women for 50 years...
my main problem with this is, why does only the dryad bow come out 14-28, its an end chest. thats pretty bad. actually i have seen a non insc bds that was pretty harsh

Its rare, but non-inscribable weapons can drop in Eye of the North. I don't have any screenshots, but I have had purples and blues drop with no inscription slot. Probably about 4-5 total in my year of playing Eye of the North.

...7-16?
This whole time I thought 7-16 was max on daggers.
I am dissapoint.

Wow, this thread reminded me of my non-max silverwing recurve bow that I had to sell for half the original price... I cried so much on the inside. The fact that anything drops non-max in an end chest is a cruel joke.

It seems kinda like a bug to me. High end chests drop always R9-13 so weapons should be always max dmg and insc. Never seen a Eternal Blade or Draconic aegis lacking 1 dmg/armor ....

I've seen weapon drops that are 1 off on the max, but never only 1 off on the min (hunting for inscribable r7/8's). When the min was 1 off, the max was also at least 1-2 off. This does sound a bit buggy to me. I assume this is dropping in HM as well?
FWIW, 14-28 is 21 avg, 15-28 is 21.5 avg, so ~2.5% lower damage on average...

But in the end, trading is merely an agreement between two parties: the seller, and the buyer. There really isn't a so called "market value", it's just would you want to wait for days on end to sell one item or just get rid of it quickly, at a reasonable price. But a little below the max damage and a cheaper price for a dryad bow isn't too bad if the price margin is high.

I've seen many a non-max weapon come from FoW/UW,Also including a few uninscribable, no rare skins though without max damage.
And Afaik the Old deathsbane bug was fixed, so uninscribable seems random to my knowledge...because I've seen a eternal blade with no inherent mod, and then one with a 14^stance.

q8 can get very rarely max (on focii for example).
q9 is mostly max, but not guaranteed.
q10 and larger is guaranteed max.
As i understand it, item generation code starts with rolling req, deriving inherent mods from it, then independently rolling color and deriving exchangeable mods from it.
Taking height advantage into account and raw damage modifiers (asuran scan and such), 0.5 can grow to solid 2 damage per hit, but of course still staying same percentage of damage and dps.

I keep getting that! Hell I got a 14-20 emerald sword from Kathandrax. I was so pissed off I salvaged it. At least it had a perfect +30 fortitude. Had my first dungeon-only max damage drop yesterday though. r11 clockwork scythe ^^

i got into an argument with someone today. i said that all voltaic spears are max damage and he said hes seen "plenty" that weren't. can anyone share some info?
Hermos
This argument is irrelevant since all Dryad Bows look crap. Lolololo
Honestly though, most people hardly pay attention, just find some moron and sell it to him for 150e. I sold a q10 or something that wasn't max for that, since I was scammed out of an Obsidian Edge for it.
