Also saw this just today.. White 15-21 fellblade (req. 8)

Just like you Pleikki, I just dropped a Q8 12 E Purple Paper Lantern
This happened while Chestrunning in Normal Mode from Maatu's Keep to Tanglewood Crops.
I got a screenshot of the drop if you'd like. It's not perfect anyways, but it does drop indeed.

Well... go try chestruns @ Xaquang Skyway
Got dropped like 15-20 paper fans, laterns, jugs there......
Just got one ~1 Week ago...
@topic:
why do you all post those blue/white req7/8's or any gold req8's that are like 10points away from max?
Those weapons don't have to do a lot with this topic imo.... because:
If a weapon can drop with req8 blue it doesnt mean that it can drop req8 gold too...
for example while farming @ Cho's Estate HM i had like 4 or 5 req8/15 blue Bladed Shields.... but i never got any gold (no matter what req)...
During my 20k chests in last few years i didnt even get 1 req8 gold max from a HM chest so im pretty sure HM chests dont drop any req8's...
I had a lot of req7/8 purples from nm canthan chests... but no gold.
I had like 3 or 4 req8 gold max items before HM was introduced...

If a weapon class can drop with a certain Base Stat AND Requirement as a white or blue it can also drop with those exact same Base Stat+Requirement combination as a purple or gold.
Note: This rule is not about SKIN but weapon class (Sword/Shield/Staff/Axe/etc...)
Note2: Whites/Blues and Purples/Golds with exact stat+req combinations may require different drop sources (different level).
Exception: The only exception is the very low level items which simply cannot drop as purples or golds at all, for example a 10-13 (req.2) sword is almost surely too low to drop as a gold at all. But since we're mostly interested in req.6-8 items it shouldn't matter.
Conclusion: Screenshotting a white/blue drop of a given BASE_STATS+REQ combination is enough of a proof that a gold version CAN technically still drop aswell. (except very low level items)
Just don't post lots of stuff that are worse than what's already well known and confirmed.

but not even 1 gold shield (no matter what skin) with those mods.... only r9+ if gold...
So i personally would NOT say that a white/blue req8 drop shows that a gold can drop with req8 there too - but well i dont want to start a fight about that...
I might farm again later today and post some SS's of the blue req8/15/16's

It's all about the level. Level of the items themselves, which is based on the level of the drop source but for golds it gets increased by a fixed +4 modifier (there's also at least one random +increase modifier)
Find HM Mobs with level as low as possible if you want the best chances for interesting low req golds.

@Yawgmoth:
Yes, sure... I think that "low" level enemys can still drop req8. I did never say something else...
But you said if there and there drop req8 white or blue items they can also drop as a gold r8... and thats wrong imo. Because like you said it depends on the level.... and white/blue req8's drop nearly everywhere, but golds only from foes with a special level (imo 17-20 @cantha, tyria.... elona/eotn even with higher levels)...
And if I'm not totally wrong all enemys @ Cho's HM are lvl 22+.... and only because they drop white/blue req8's that doesnt mean that they can drop gold req8's too =)
Thats what I think!
Or better said... that's what i will always think as long as nobody can prove the opposite (with a screenshot). =)
I'd ofc try to prove my statement too but It's hard to find any evidence that items CAN'T drop^^

I even added note it would most likely be a different (lower) level mob or chest needed for that gold drop.

Hi just had a r7 celestial longbow drop whilst farming vermin its a 14-25 dam +15% -10armor while attacking 
i was looking on the requirement thread and that seems to be the max dam a r7 bow will drop now. Is this the case?
oh and like a idiot i didnt take a screenie until id picked it up sorry

I was only talking about HM Cho's...
And the problem is you won't find any foes with a level lower than 23 @ HM Shing Jea, do you?
That's why i'd like to see a screenshot of a gold max r8 @ Shing Jea...
And with what I said I only meant:
"It's useless to post some r8 blue paper fan from level 23+ naga cause that doesnt prove anything.... cause you will first have to find any lower level enemy that also can drop that skin"....
@following spirit:
14-25 is far away from max dmg so your bow is..... hmm crap? =)

k thanks system, at least i know i can merch.
Just to clarify then R7 bows still drop max 15-28, or if they dont drop, anything that isnt max is worthless. I.e r8 bows 15-28 is the lowest u can go and have max damage.
So its only shields that are can have a max reduction and still be collectable/valuable i.e r7 15arm.
sorry to be a pain just new to this r7/r8 stuff even though ive had Gw for 5yrs
editJust read your other post system thanks for info in p.c

also some nonmax low req swords/axes with +5nrg could be worth something if the skin is good...

Hi while i was farming for nick, at perdition rock i had a white acursed icon nrg+12 req8 , forgot to take a screenie also a 15-21 q8 fellblade (blue)<--- took a screenie of this if you need to see it, This was on normal mode.

max blue spiked targe req8 tactics, i got this 10 hours ago doing the sunjang mission, nm. it dropped from warrior construct, or whatever it is called, the warrior boss at the end of the misson. ill post a screen later
irundroks
About 15 mins ago I went vermin farmin just for fun, and i saw a chest so i opened it. And I got this q8 cockatrice. But, the inherent mod turned out to be hct blood magic 19%, so I guess it's not worth anything. No idea if this helps or not, since it is 10-20 and 18%. Still, not bad for vermin farming.

Q8 Celestial Axe 6-28 15% in stance, came from Nahpui Quarter while in mission as a drop
Q8 Earth Wand 11-22 E+5 while health above 50%, dont remember where i got it

req.6 / 11 energy focus items aren't especially rare, I have found multiple myself, they're comparable to 15/7 shields in rarity BUT they have lower item_level so they have to be dropped from lower level sources to get similar droprate on them, or even get them at all.

Today in Haiju Lagoon, got a 7/15 gold shield from a lvl16 Dragon Lily.

QUESTION. ive been farming the vermin (admitedly nothing good has dropped for me yet) but the original OP said that the vermin were a old r7/r8 farm, Is there anywhere in prophicies that used to be a good farming place (other than maguma area),and may well be? or is it just pot luck.
Pleikki
well in props hydras in desert and other things in desert..
also as said before in this topic that some areas in jungle were good.
For r8 pretty much anything, Trolls ettins etc.
