I got one that was 1 off max from one of those thorn stalker things that are around Druids overlook, it was a very nice gold one but 1 off max This was recently and I am guessing that they drop elsewhere and max.

Agree. I've plenty drop but the only max gold to drop for me in six months of the game was fromthe minotaurs outside Augry.

In fact, before that happened, an in-game friend told me of a max gold with almost perfect stats that fell for him there. Since - at that time - I'd farmed the area for a long time without seeing a brute drop, I secretly wondered if he was being truthful.

Then, a week or so later, when the brute dropped for me there, his case was proved. In the two months or so since then I haven't had another max gold brute drop.

Nice!! But yeah i also have to confirm that Undead seem 2 drop them alot ... i guess farming around Kryta and Maguuma will give you the best chances

That is impossible. Max damage weapons can only be dropped by level 24 monsters. A level 16 hellhound would drop a 6-19 axe.

not true, i am pretty sure 17+ lvl monsters can drop max swords, as i've gotten a max gold gladius on a lvl 17 scale blighter outside of Gates of Kryta once, although i dont really know about a lvl 16 monster

and besides the lvl 21 griffins outside augury drops max dmg weapons like candy

Add this to the myriad of things that the "strategy guide" is completely wrong about. Anyone that has made it through the game can testify that creatures below level 24 drop max damage weapons, albeit less frequently then their lower damage counterparts.

That is just such bullshit. Aside from that drop, I also recently acquired 2 max damage sephis axes for sale HERE. One from the VERY SAME HELLHOUND IN THE GATES OF KRYTA! The other was from a LEVEL 17 smoke phantom outside beetletun. Kryta is the ONLY place i farm, and I regularly get max drops there, so shut your face before you speak next time.
