This is my Ranger's primary weapon. It dropped a few weeks after Factions was released, during the Nahpui Quarter mission. So the first post should be updated the say that Req 8 Bows can have a max damage of 28.



This has been my primary weapon since the day it dropped.

hi,

white hammer
last week during nick farm on Haiju Lagoon

purple staff
this weekend while skill capping on Sunjiang District, cant remember where and which creature dropped it, but I think it was from the monk boss mob or the mob that comes near him from SW (not sure if its sw but its path its on the water).

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.)
Purple staves can have the max 20/10/11-22 base stats, however it's pretty rare for them to drop that way. I estimate the chance for a Purple staff dropping from level24+ source to have between 1:100 and 1:200 chance to have all the 3 base stats max'ed. The minimum req. for such a max purple staff is 9.

For those who care about it a screenshot showing those also drop in the inherent lands (this one from UW free chest):



Now Blue and White staves are a different case - they have a hard cap of 17% HSR so you can never get a better one than 17/10/11-22 - this is the "perfect" one and the chance for it (from a lvl24+ source) is around 1:10 or slightly higher.

Thanks to fallenangel and Yawgmoth for the pics of max purple staffs, and thanks again to Yawgmoth for the info on the 17HSR cap on whites and blues!

It's not a new record for r8 staffs here, but I got this white r8 staff earlier after I'd read Yawg's post above. I thought I'd post the picture to share. It has max 10 en and 11-21 damage (the max we've found for r8 so far,) but it is only 17 HSR.


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

ok, here some screens of items from my old screenshot folders and old salethreads of items, but all dropped post nf (started in pre about 1 year ago, all were drops since then, except from that first sword ofc).
Also saw a 6-14 q2 Axe, but don´t have a screen, sry.
some of the staves I posted are just higher than current one in one stat, just for the theory, if generated seperately or combined - I think seperately.

I might misunderstand you, but a q8 purple CAN have 2 maxed, an inscr one that is, it just can't have the max dmg mod
got proof this time


About the wand: since I'm not 100% sure, I will retract my claim. I just remember it being like that, but since that is not enough, I won't use it for this thread, since it would jeopardize the legitimacy.

Wow Awesome staff! Also, theorically from that staff we could think r8 max staffs could drop maybe. as yangmonth explained before. but not sure

I've never said such a staff wouldn't be possible and in fact I've expected something similar to finally appear. And it's an awesome staff indeed, extremelly rare and 99.999% sure it's the best possible (knowing how drop generation works can't absolutely deny the possibility of a q8 20/10/11-22 but if it's possible it'd be a whole new magnitude of rarity higher than this staff)


Another thing, I remember (kept a note of) seeing someone spam a WTS Q8 18/10/11-22 inscribable gold staff in Kamadan but I totally regret not asking him to show it quickly (it was long before this thread existed and my own research was in very early stage then). But since it was just a wts spam it's not worthy of note anywhere unless someone else has seen (screenshotted) that staff or has it.

Lol? I put it up for PC a while back and ppl said it was worthless
I think i still have it somewhere, I'll look into it...
This dropped in DoA NM btw, my guess is that that's the best place to go look for q8 max weaps, a lot of q7/15 shields drop there aswell, as q8/16's..
Too bad I only do DoASC HM nowadays, since NM isn't profitable in any way :P Takes too long, and too little gems :P

Despite being such a rarity I doubt it could have real market value, simply because very very few players realise how rare it is (most would probably say they merch nonmax crap like that all the time) and even fewer would be willing to buy it for a collection (unless inspired by this thread). But even 2 players interested in having it could roll an epic bid war on it

Oh and it's a common misconception that DoA NM is any better than DoA HM for low req drops. In fact there's NO difference there for the q7/15 or q8/16 shields and for a staff like this you would have even better chance in HM! I can guarantee that, and I haven't even played DoA NM or HM a lot.

Orly? Well, I only run with my guild, which is DoASC messpike, HM, but I always keep an eye open for q8/16s or q7/15s, have seen a couple drop, but most were str, so useless.. Since I do it a LOT, I will try to keep track of it in some way, and if I find something else interesting, I'll post it here as soon as possible. Also, a lot of q8/+12 foci drop, and a lot more than compared to the shields.. Still waiting for a goldie drop though, all are blues, no purples either, exept for this staff..

Gold and Purple req.8 drops are impossible in DoA, both NM and HM, with the only exception being purple staves - because of a different item_level parameters in the drop generation system they work a bit differently than other items and they're a possible drop in both NM and HM DoA. Just keep in mind you will find a couple 16/8 (blue) shields easier than any purple req.8 staff there, no matter the stats of the staff (on average it will be a 18/10/10-20 or close)

Red, the pictures you upload are getting compressed somehow. In the past, they've been hard to see, but this most recent one I can't make out details at all. Cropping the images to just the info tags is fine, but please upload full-res cropped shots so we can see what's there. English is great if possible; if not, translate it to English for us in your post, please?

Thank you!

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

And I realized we don't have a max r8 preNF wand shot yet, so ...


Ok, will get to updating the OP now (except for Red's stuff above, as I simply can't tell what that is.)

Cheers folks!

Red's pics are, from top to bottom:

r4 Stilletos dmg 5-10
r5 Shortbow dmg 13-21
r4 Hooked Scythe dmg 10-26
r5 Solemn Spear dmg 11-19
r4 Elegant Scythe dmg 9-25
r1 Sword dmg 8-11
r4 Hammer dmg 14-22
r4 Great Conch armor 12

I have no idea about the translation of the two skin names that aren't in English, but at least I could read the pics.

Hmm, does his picture look normal size to everyone else? I did not consider if it might be a problem on my end because I only ever have trouble with the pics Red posts. Others' pics seem to look full/normal size resolution, but Red's always seem a bit shrunk. And that latest one is so squished that I don't even trust I'm reading it right if I squint.

Anyway, thank you for the better eyes! I would like to get this sorted out with Red's pics for future reports at least.

Can everyone else see Red's pic four posts above this just fine?

Red's pics do seem a little small but a little bit of focus and they aren't to hard to make out...for me at least maybe we both be using the same browser? and it's an issue with that?

It looks squished and fuzzy to me too, I can still make out what they are {barely} but the pics aren't good so it's not just you.
