Best place to farm for q8 bows - Guild Wars Forums

What is the best farms to do for q8 bows?Specifically recurves and longbows. Skins aren't so important but I guess the more valuable the better.

Q8 bows no longer drop anywhere in game since 2007. Only way to obtain one is by trading with another player.

Well in that case where are good places to farm for OS non inscriptable q9 bows?

I was somehow under the impression that q8s still dropped. I don't know why I thought that.

Chest running in factions HM anywhere.

They would tell you max r8's never stopped dropping, which is either an outright lie or simple ignorance of what actually happened when they changed the drop system in '07.

Really? I've gotten THREE max rq8s in the past year from drops. I still have my shield. So I have no clue what you people have been talking about. Note I have extremely good drop rates for not farming so maybe I am just lucky.

Once again q8 shields still do drop I've probably had a couple dozen the past few months including non inscrib but stuff worth selling only a few of them were worth selling.
It's largely accepted as a fact that max q8 items can only be Focus, Swords, and Shields since NF I believe.

If anyone wants to see what's still possible in reqs compared to what was possible click HERE
