I can say: lvl10 won´t drop gold (reason see below)

Anyway, having the boss status certainly won't make a monster able to drop golds (or purples) if a normal monster of the same level cannot.
I can confirm 100% sure: lvl7 will drop purple (not too rare from those), whereas lvl5 won´t - do some charrruns in the northlands and u´ll find out

well generally tutorial is pretty interesting for such research, because any item in there is from there and high items were kept there. Thus the items considered max in pre are 99.999999% maximum for lvl 10 foes to drop (just because highest lvl mobs in pre dropping items is lvl 10. So highest dmg from q10 foes is 7-19 on axe, 12-16 on sword, 10-16 on staves (whereas a single 10-17 staff is known in tutorial...), 15-25 on hammers, 12 arm on shields, 12-20 on bows, 10-16 on wands and 9ene on focus. for lvl 8 it´s 11 arm on shields and not too sure on the others. lvl 7 and lvl 8 foes still can drop q0 tho (because there are purple req0 weps in tutorial and some of those were confirmed or witnessed by me to drop from lvl8 warriors there)

So in conclusion: foe dropping purple won´t make it possible to drop gold!
my expected ranges for highest rarity:
white: lvl 0 (dunno if white or blue)
blue: lvl 1-5
purple: lvl 6-10
gold: lvl 11-40

I realize this is getting away from original thread topic, thus I´d consider opening another thread listing dmg and req ranges as well as rarity ranges on foes of certain lvl. This thread here should probs stay clear of this direction of drop research.

Do you know if this was from a level 11 Bog Scale? If so that adds the confirmed level 11 drop. So I don't have to go and try to farm another one.

This was in Tears of the Fallen, so the skales were level 17-18. Believe this was from a level 17 Blighter.

Guess you put the wrong picture then, that wand is neither gold nor canthan.

Btw, here are some more min stats items, not many since I've been playing very little lately.

Q8 Blue hammer 13-21
Q11 Blue hammer 16-30
Q8 White spear 11-18
Q12 Gold daggers 7-15
Q5 Purple shield 8 AR
Q3 Blue staff 12/6/7-10
Q4 Blue staff 12/6/6-10
Q6 Blue staff 12/6/7-10

Hi.... i have maybe many items in my collection that might fill loads of the pre-NF gaps... (although they wont give u a upper and lower limit each tho)
i merged them all on a screen...

Not sure which of them are intresting for you, just screened anything thats nonmax ^^

Staff req2 15/7/8-13 - exceeds/hits current max of each base stat seperately



Staff req5 16/8/10-18 - new highest DMG for q5



Axe q13 6-27 new minimum for q13 (just took notice of this in Sale thread)

working on a collection of lowest dmg items I can get, too lazy to post a screen whenever a new one drops, collection going well, will post entire collection in few weeks (busy in rl atm)

Just an idea about how to make the OP a lot smaller: how about assembling all stats in a table with different reqs in different rows and different weapons in different columns? and making the reference link directly behind the DMG listed, like so: (column: staff; line: req2) entry: 15/7/8-13? (I think it´s irrelevant who posted the pic to anyone using the thread - and if it was not one could just click the link and be amazed )
I think such would make things a lot easier, because u could assemble the whole data on one screensize. I know it would be a lot of work the first time, but I´m positively sure it would ease actually using the thread for reference a lot - will readily assist at doing such!

Thanks a lot, Luny, for keeping this up to date

Interesting idea, Thanks! I've not yet messed with the newfangled table bbCode we have here, but I can try to figure something out.

I always kept the names in there simply figuring some folks might be more inclined to help if they got some kind of credit for finding new records, and with the existing format it didn't really take up any extra room to have them there. I suppose it's a worthy sacrifice to drop them in the interest of making the OP a faster quick-reference.

I think you copied the wrong link? That's selling a max damage r9 axe with an inherent mod when I go look. And there's nothing about the axe in question to say for sure it dropped postNF either.

The question is do they still drop in gold, like since NF's release? If you have inscribable stuff, that's a pretty strong argument for what can still drop in gold in the current system (although assigned gold loot on the ground seems to me an even stronger argument.) But seeing inherent gold items in the trade window doesn't really answer the question asked here.

(Just a few days ago, Fred showed me a gold r0 staff in trade. It's not news that such things could drop once and can still exist in game. We're wondering what the game can still produce.)

*********************************

Pics I took in the past couple weeks or so. Most of them, I got shots on the ground still "Assigned to ..." I was running some of my alt accounts through campaigns, so a few of the pictures I did not take until I noticed them in inventory after the mission, sorry. I am 100% certain they came from the mission and date I listed, though.

It's stuff that beats records in the OP. I didn't check if there are recent replies with better records, but I'll catch such next time I update OP (which I've been putting off because it will require learning to use table tags and several hours of work reformatting the list.)

Thanks for letting us know. But looking at the picture in your PC thread (gold-text 17/9/10-18 r6 staff with inherent 19HCT,) that's no where near the min stats we've found on a purple r6 staff and it's not quite as high as either of the max stats we've found on purple r6 staffs. So I don't think you need to bother including a picture for us here for a record in the OP. You're welcome to if you want to reserve a place on any gold gallery ... but no one has ever stepped up to compile the gallery of golds mentioned originally yet. (I'm not volunteering for that part!) Thanks for looking out, though!

While it sounds like it's possible after all for white/blue staffs to have same stats as purple/gold staffs, I think it's still interesting to track the difference given how rare (or even unheard of) it is to find white/blue with over 17% HSR. It's pretty normal to see the same base stats on both white and blue staffs, and while it's not quite as frequent it there are lots of examples of purple and gold staffs having the same base stats, too.

-----------------------------------------------

On a different subject, here's this axe. r3 5-11 damage



I just bought it (due to the mod, not the axe) from Mobiwan in game. He tells me he got it as a drop yesterday when he was farming outside Piken Square for other curiosities. He gave me permission to post it here and use his name. Thanks again for that!

Just to fill in a gap here's a gold r7 axe. Probably dropped recently, but certainly within the last 19 months.

I quit playing before NF was released and only returned to the game a little over a year ago. All four of the low req items I have dropped for me since I returned. Two of them are from leveling on shing jea island (a r4 sunqua blade and r7 death staff) and are not inscribed. The other 2 (a r7 smiting staff and a r4 death focus) are from NF areas (cant remember where) but ARE inscribed.

It dropped for me about 3 minutes ago in Pongmei Valley HM whilst chestrunning.

In case you're wondering, it was from the Warden group at Tanglewood that always slaughters the poor Canthan Guard.

looks like you don't have a r1 bow at all, so I threw one on here=]

r6 plagueborn maul is a recent gold drop, shouldn't be even a month old yet.

spear is jsut conformation=]

looks like jewled is nothing new, but i already added it to the pic before i saw that=p

plagueborn gold is lower HSR then the current lowest.

scythe is for your min, but I doubt seriously that is is the lowest it can go.

Not having much to do in game anymore, decided to alternate between level 11 bog skales and ettins to see if a gold will drop, and got some drops with slightly lower minimums than on the first page. Granted, I read you were having problems updating the page, so these may not replace any other items that have been posted previously.

A couple more drops with lower minimums than the front page has listed. Also saw no statistics for a gold req 5 staff so added one of those that dropped as well, just as a point of comparison.















Edit: One more with energy less than the minimum listed

Hello Kitty Krewe [HKK] Forever!-ish

My sincere thanks to everyone who keeps watching their drops and posting new records for a groovy list here!

Due to unavoidable other demands on my time recently, now, and likely into at least the near future, I seriously doubt I'll get around to updating the OP with either the new records or the great (imo) idea Red Fireball proposed earlier on this thread about formatting the OP into more of a table instead of a list or with all the new records. I'd gotten as far as figuring that it would have to be more like a list of tables, since having a single table with a row for every req. level and a column for every item type would be too wide and almost certainly require horizontal scrolling on some folks' displays. But breaking it up into three or four tables would cut down on a lot of the necessary vertical scrolling! The odds of me actually getting that done any time soon seem low lately, and it's such a shame if folks lose interest in this project simply because no one is keeping the OP updated.

So if anyone out there (perhaps Red Fireball?) is currently willing and able to take on the role of OP steward for this thread, please feel free to step/speak up! I left some probably now semi-outdated editting tips for how I did OP updates. There should be a link near the end of the OP to those notes. You don't need to be a mod or have edit powers on my posts to take this over. If you can compile an updated list, post it as a reply and ask a Ventari's mod or Guru admin to merge your post with the OP (that's how I got the OP of this thread in the first place.) I give my permission and blessing in advance!
