If anyone has a Q8 Os BDS or knows anyone who does, please pm Thethird Dervish ingame
Due to the rarity of the item the price tag will be more than I have, this is a guarantee, all that I ask is that you could consider holding on to it for me to buy at a later time, this is an item I've been looking for for quite some time now.

Also, a r8 BDS cannot exist. It is not even a remote possibility from a glitch. The drop tables are coded from 9-13 on the end chest items.

In short, you're chasing a unicorn.

That's what I keep hearing but I've got a mate whos been playing since beta, he himself has a Q9 os bds, and he says his friend has a Q8 os, I have yet to see the q8, but I see no reason for which he would lie about the matter. Problem is that his friend hasn't logged in in over 11 months now :/

I have also heard these rumours. But until it is shown ingame to a trusted guru, I'm afraid it will remain a unicorn.

Screenshots won't do- they can be altered. Has to be seen by a trusted guru who can then verify its existence.

I am sticking with the 'doesn't exist' opinion

Are you sure you are talking about a BDS in both cases and not an OS bone Staff... erm BS (!?!) ?
I can guarantee that not one r8 BDS with max stats (and probably no non-max r8 either) exists as the Dungeon Chests have always been hard coded to only drop r9-13. The same with any OS BDS, as the EotN drops have always been inscribable. There are a few bugged BDS staves out there without an inscription, but they are missing the inherent part where the inscription would be which makes a staff OS.

If you are talking about a regular bone staff (core skin), then there are loads OS and a few r8s do exist.

Afterthought..... If your friend has been playing since beta, I'll bet 10 gold it's a bone staff, not a bone DRAGON staff. The bone staff is as old as Prophecies, and some seriously sexy r8 versions are kept within our vaults at [PhD]. So sexy that they would make your eyes bleed. The BDS was introduced with the Eye of the North expansion.

Remember, there's a 10 gold wager on this, so make it count. I will accept a staggered payment plan at 3% interest if 10 gold is too much.

Aye, that's another possibility, but I think those are factions only? So couldn't hav been present at the beta release.... And now I think of it, do r8 dragon staves exist? R8 max damage staves were removed from the drop tables at the same time as the great pre/post-nerf nerf. (Autocorrect hates the phrase 'pre/post-nerf nerf'). Therefore any r8 max staff is pre-nerf.

Just demonstrating why a trusted guru should get to see a r8 BDS in game to change our opinions. Screenshots are worth nothing, I dare anyone to find something wrong with this BDS, except the obvious r8 part.

I dont think he has HAD it since beta...just that he has been playing that long (and seeing as the bds wasnt even drawn at beta time....)...so it is possible he is thinking of a different staff than a bds, the bone staff or the dragon staff both could be possible alternates to that, and I know that the dragon staff was hard to get for some time (though I got a horrible one myself just last month----even with my bad drop ratio!).
The dragon staff did come out during os so it is quite possible for a req8..and Pleikki says so so I will just agree with him

ooooo nice screenshot emma!

Fair enough I'll defer to the experts on sticks, as sticks were never my thing anyway

This does not exist. Period. It is not real. Your friend is lying. There is no such thing as a q8 BDS. It's not physically possible. Your friend is lying. Sorry. Maybe your friend was trying to grow his epeen

You won't ever be able to prove me wrong because one doesn't exist.

Really this should be the end of the discussion. There is nothing to even discuss. It's not possible. Lol.

You're Going to be looking forever for this item. Because it doesn't exist. Not even infinity money could buy it.

Then you can stop searching. There are no r8 BDS's, never have and never will exist. Closest you can get to r9 OS would be a BDS r9 that dropped without inscription slot (clean). This means you can't add any inscriptions and only add a prefix and a sufix. Would look like the first fake I posted, but then r9. If that doesn't suffice, you can better stop looking

Technically, no. As the bds can never be non-inscribable, you're looking for a clean or bugged bds. Clean. Or Bugged. Not OS. It's important to get this correct, or people won't know what you're looking for.

If you spend all day looking for a citrus fruit with orange skin, segments and pips, and call it a football, you're going to get lots of footballs offered to you, but no oranges.

Might seem picky, but it's just business sense to ask for an orange if you want an orange.

At this point, this kid has gotta be some 12 year old troll.

Mods should really close this thread. He's got his answer (the correct one) probably 10 times yet he's still blabbering.

Honestly based on your responses to us it's hard to tell if you're trolling us. We've all given you the correct answers to your question like 5 times. There is no q8 bds. None. Zero. Zilch. Impossible to find. Maybe math terms will help make it sink in. There is exactly 1/infinity, cos(Pi/2), e^(i*pi)-1, q8 BDS in guild wars.

The only 'os' bds are those crappy missing a mod ones. They only exist in q9+. You can find a q9+ bds insc any day.

That covers every possible bds.

Sorry if it seems critical of you. Not trying to be mean if you are legitimately asking. It's just that we've all given you the answer many times. And to top it off, you're on an account that joined guru in the last 4 days. It's not unreasonable to think you're just trolling at this point.

There's nothing wrong with asking questions . Just listen to the answers. Cause it's been answered about 8 times . To expand on it - there not a single q8 inscribable skin staff in q8 Max damage. Not just bds. Q8 max inscribable swords and shields and focus exist. Q8 old school everything can basically exist. Not everything os comes insc and vice versa.

Anyways, I apologize for calling you out for trolling. But I stand by that it wasn't unreasonable to believe it could have been. I'm not always that cynical ^.^ . Just most of the time.

But yes, all the users here including myself have given you the correct answer to your question.

The correct answer was given in 6th post.

This discussion is pointless IMO, but that's just my 2cents.

Technically it´d be e^(i*pi)+1 q8 BDS ingame, but I doubt anyone else cares^^

so here´s the point: BDS comes from Dungeon Endchests. Dungeon Endchests drop items of unid value 50-57g. in that range gold items can have requirements of 9-13. purple staves could have a requirement of 8 there, but no purples drop from Dungeon Endchests. So BDS=(only gold + 50-57g unid)=q9-13. There can happen drops that´d seem odd, but are totally regular such as 14-28 bows.
So for a "clean" BDS: Some call it "OS"/"oldschool" which is very much misleading as it doesn´t have anything to do with os items, yet the term is used in this context. Technically it is just an old insc-area drop. insc area items could (just like oldschool ones) drop without a modifier, that´d be an inscription and thus lacked the ability to carry an inscription. As this is similar to what can happen with os items and as oldschool is often used as a synonym for non inscribable the term "os BDS" (despite the fact it is technically wrong) got used. So try search for a clean BDS, uninsc BDS or bugged BDS (bugged because the algorithm got changed to prevent many from dropping, as ppl got aannoyed).
and for friends telling their friends do have a certain item: I have seen tons of claims of absurd items and when the said owner was online he was always "too bored", "too busy" to show or couldn´t find it. If we´d believe them there´d be some phenomenal items neither Guru has ever seen nor any of the known people on here have, who have been around for 10years+: q8 insc Scythes, even a reptilian scythe, q8 insc spears - for sure the guy had a voltaic spear even, and sure there are q8 insc daggers, q8 insc staves, q7 post-nerf staves (ofc with a matching 20/20 mod) etc. See it in trade window and it is legit otherwise consider it a hoax.
Someone who has to tell ppl they do have the most awesome item ever ingame would also boost their ego with showing it in case they really have it, otherwise they are just some poor ... who need attention.
