How would I edit this function so that I could get every 3rd row, then 5th row, 3rd row, 5th row, etc...

=OFFSET($A$1,(ROW()-1)*3,0)

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
How about this?
Excel Formula:
=LET(m,MOD(ROW(A2:A10),2),FILTER(A2:A10,m=1))

How about this?
Excel Formula:
=LET(m,MOD(ROW(A2:A10),2),FILTER(A2:A10,m=1))
It only returns every 2nd row. Same as if i was using =OFFSET($A$1,(ROW()-1)2,0).

I'd prefer it in the OFFSET function so that it easier to drag around, too

Can you show an example of what you're trying to achieve?

If I understand correctly, you want a formula that you can drag to repeat the 3rd and 5th value.

something inside the OFFSET function that would return every 3rd row, then 5th row, etc

Sorry for the confusion. I don't want it to repeat the 3rd and 5th row, but keep taking every 3rd and 5th row as i drag down

Here's the best I can come up with so far that does not use a helper column and let you drag. Only draw back is you have to reference the first value A1 yourself so it knows where to start.
