While I do my own research independantly, I don't need to screenshot items, I just put down the stats, making screenshots only in rare cases when an item exceeds my expectations, or just impresses me in some way, but just happened to come by a scythe you don't have here:

I'm 100% sure there's NO difference, there's just ONE item generation algorithm in GW, it just uses different parameters when generating specific parts of an item (for example different parameters determine if it should generate inherent mods or inscription, or which set of possible mods to select from). Item's base stats and requirements are dependant only on one parameter - the item's level.

If the item has no attribute (no req) or it's a staff coming from before the update (no matter the req), the mods that read an attribute from it will display as "item's attribute" instead, those mods do nothing - they're just blanks on that item.

Ok, first, I've got a picture of an r8 insc. bow 14-26 until we get the 14-27 picture. This dropped last night in NM DoA.

EDIT - Oops, had the insc. one already! And I merched the inherent one I got thinking it was that one we had an example pic of already.

EDIT - Dec. 15, 2010 - It seems I've hit a cap or glitch with guru attachments, so I'm editing all my posts here with photobucket-hosted versions of these pics instead

EDIT - Feb. 12, 2012 - fixing thumb links to direct instead of photobucket album

Now, to reply to the last few posts as needed ...

Thanks for the pics! I agree, it's marvelously weird! I'm not sure it really belongs in the main list, though, as that's not proof that, say, a gold one could drop.

On a side note to back up that claim there xD I know these are uber rare
No, I don't expect a difference. Yawgmoth is sure there's no difference, and I certainly believe he's got the experience to back up his certainty. I simply figured why not keep the list with room for inherent and inscribable reports - in the end, we'll have pictures to prove there's no difference!

Yes, very rare! But without it ID'ed, I can't tell if that's an inherent or inscribable "Tower Shield" Raven Wing left us a nice pic of inherent source r0 8ar shield later on, so no worries this time. But in the future, please ID them for the screenshots? Or just remember to tell us where it dropped when you post it?

Not that it really matters but those r0 inherent and inscriptable hammers are not labeled correctly.. Compiling info is a pita. Thx for doing it.
"Not labeled correctly" ... what do you mean? I've got your r0 hammer listed as an "inscribable source" r0 - was it from inherent source areas?

And yeah, it is ... but not as big a pita as reading through the thread each time I found something I thought might be a new record. That's what finally drove me to compile an up-to-date list. And you're welcome!

FWIW, I hope anyone feels free to double-check the OP and let me know if they see any problems (broken links, missed reports, mis-listings, typos, etc.) I'm nowhere near so good at this that I'd never make a mistake. I do try to spot errors, but the way that OP gets updated I'm sure it would be easy to miss some.



Ok, next I'll work on rolling all the recent reports into the OP.

Thanks for all the submissions folks! Keep 'em coming!

Im making trips to certain places where I believe there can be good drops to fill out the lower positions in the lists. Then if there is a promising drop i check the list and then drag u map down so it shows in the screenie besides the drop on ground. For most of them it doesnt matter if they are ID or not.Or would you like me to change that?
BTW I guess some trips in snowman dungeon nm would yield more stuff to put in

If you're up for staging such shots, please feel free! As long as you tell/show us where it dropped, we'll know if it's from inscribable or inherent source areas. So you needn't take a second shot after IDing.

I don't suspect anyone is intentionally faking these reports, but I do know how easy it can be to misremember a number or make a typo, etc. That's why, ideally, I'd like to get example pictures of the item tags for every record. If we get claims of something without a picture, I list the best record by claim and the best record by picture until we get a picture to match both.

I'm not likely to stand firm on "screenshot or it didn't happen," unless someone is claiming something really extrodinary ... like max r7 dropping today, or an r2 12 ar shield.

I've got reports listed in the OP as "claims" or "pics" just to help folks with quick-reference see if they need to bother taking a pic and uploading it here when they get a high stat for low req drop.

Ok, a couple drops from last night.

The staff dropped in NM Iron Mines of Moladune; the daggers in HM Rhea's Crater.

The daggers are r8 7-15 until we get the 7-16 picture.

The staff is r7 16/9/10-18.

I'm not listing the staff in OP, as it doesn't break any records. However, I thought Yawg and others might like to see it for comparison with the other r7 staff reports. It looks like there is no hard link between HSR, En, and Dmg on staff stats. So now, for r7 Staffs, we've seen at least ...

* 16/10/11-20 (pic from Yawgmoth)
* 17/8/9-17 (pic from LicensedLuny)
* 16/9/10-18 from this pic.
and
* 16/9/11-19 as inscribable.

Bummer, sorry! I don't mind if the screenshots come after they've been picked up and id'ed, no. Unless it's something really unbelievable (like, say, a max r7 axe drop) I doubt anyone will take issue with such shots. Please do be careful to let us know where it dropped, so we know if it's inherent or inscribable source.

This dropped today from farming the Copper coins for Nick (Factions noob island during the Siege at Tsumei Village). Its one off from the OP in terms of wanding maximum damage from the claim, but more importantly it shows a single mod (50% of the max possible stats).

I guess you can use that as a place holder until the claim is backed up by someone posting a pic of a 7-11 damage r0 Wand .



EDIT:

Also found this r2 Axe from the same run. Its the same damage as listed in your PO, but it has a damage modifier if your also looking at the damage modifiers on each level;

Oh well, I rarely bother with screenshoting what I believe to be common drops (have seen a bunch of those and I think req.8 bow can drop a 1 point higher, either 14-28 or 15-27 but it will be far more rare), but happened to get this today



posting because screenshots are important here.

I also see the OP has very low stats for req.7 sword. I have reported a 14-20 req.7 back on the first page, if the info is not enough, I have recorded more: It was a gold drop from a level 17 mob in Prophecies, merch value 26g while still unident (stats after id not recorded but unimportant). Dropped this year.

Thanks! When I was first trying to sort through this and get a list compiled in a reply (before they used mod-power-magic to make me the OP,) there were quite a few posts where I simply couldn't be sure if people were claiming pre/post NF drops and/or inherent or inscription. I just left those out, hoping once we had more details in the compiled list folks would help us out by including such specifics. So there are probably still some claims or pics from the first couple pages of this thread which I've never listed for lack of knowing quite where to list them.

I know you're sure there's no difference between inherent and inscribable stuff. It's not that I don't believe you - not at all! I simply don't see the reason to miss this opportunity to prove the theory with screenshots, that's all.



So, thanks to everyone for the reports!!! (especially thanks to Yawg ... as I can tell the way I'm doing this and my stress of screenshots bugs you at least a little bit. I'm glad it's not so annoying that you refuse to contribute!)

Keep 'em coming folks!

here a list of max for req0 weps inh source: presearing.com (2nd box from bottom)

I just got some no req 4-7 daggers while farming for Nick, so we can add them to the "Inherent Sources" section. 14 vs hexed woot! The pictures are the same daggers. I just did before/after identifying for fun.

And for those who are curious, they came from a chest. Retained that lockpick too (good thing).

Trying to keep these from filling up HDD as I wander about.

Some drops from Nov. 12, 2010, two while farming copper coins for Nick and one while completing zBounty from the other day.

r8 "inscribable" bow 14-27
(It dropped in Kourna from one of those plant paragon things.)

r0 inherent wand 7-11
r0 inherent focus +6
(I think both those came from Shing Jea Chests rather than foes, but I'm not postive. gogo easy lucky points!)



EDIT - Dec. 15, 2010 - It seems I've hit a cap or glitch with guru attachments, so I'm editing all my posts here with photobucket-hosted versions of these pics instead ...
I also got an r8 14-27 bow in NM Stygian Veil the other day which actually has an inscription slot, so that picture is here now, too.

I think I've mentioned it before but will repeat: The 40g chests (Ascalon, Shing Jea, Istan) are by far the BEST source for highest no req items.

So if someone's going for the Lucky title, watch the drops, we need especially:
*Hammer (the PreSearing list has MANY errors, for example 8-12wand/staff can't have no req, and I remember reading about better Hammers found in Pre, but long ago and didn't save screenshots)
*Daggers (I expect a 4-8 might be possible, not sure though)
*Scythe (guesstimating a 6-19 or even 6-20 might be possible)

Ok, first, I found an r8 14-26 Spear and took a picture.


Second, I've been wondering about staffs. Does anyone know if purple or blue staffs dropped as loot (not counting collector/crafter versions) can have max 20/10/11-22 stats? It seems like all the purple and blue r9+ staffs I get these days are always well below max base stats. Other gear's max stats don't seem to be affected by text color, but I'm wondering if staffs are a different case. (Yawg must know. Hopefully, he'll tell us.)

EDIT - Thanks very much to fallenangel for the pic of an inscribable max purple staff and to Yawgmoth for the pic of an inherent max purple staff and the info on the max cap for blues and whites! Those answer my question perfectly, thank you!
/EDIT

Given the concern over inaccuracies in the presearing tables, I'm not going to list those tables as claims in the OP here. I hope there are no hard feelings.

Yes, they can. Here's a screen of one I got today:

I think it's safe to say that you won't find it in a req 8 or lower, but req 9 upwards, definitely possible, at least for inscribable ones.
