As sort of a corollary to the "OMG! not another one" thread, I thought I'd ask about those drops you rarely get.
For me, it would have to be Guardian Mosses.
When Factions came out and I made a 'sin, I was excited to come across the collector in Pongmei Valley (by the gate to Boreas) offering 15^50 daggers in exchange for 2 Mosses. How hard could that be to get? The fact that he only wanted 2, rather than the standard 5, should have been the tip-off.
Well, to date, I have gotten a grand total (including the two I eventually traded for the daggers) of eleven. I've actually gotten (several) more black dyes than I have these Mosses.
What's your elusive drop?

Destroyer Cores :P
Actually, I've been players 19 months and only ever got 1 black dye (in Sacnoth Valley) which I very unlucky.
And I've never got a super vigor rune, ever

i could never get an ecto for the longest time but meh they are not the most common item out there
kazjun
Stone carvings. I've gotten more green drops from the bosses than stone carvings from the mob he's with.
Malice Black
Tough one.
I've got enough cash to not need to worry about something not dropping. If I wanted destroyer cores, I'd just offer a highly inflated price and have all I need within an hour.
Only item I've ever really farmed is shards, mainly because everyone sells to the merchant, so trying to find people selling more then a few at a time is a bastard. In the end (after hours of WTB) I just made the merchant richer.

I have only gotten 1 black dye and I've been playing almost 2 years now (next month makes 2 years).

greens...any greens.

DarkGanni
ANYTHING that's new from gwen, Just to think when I opened Duncan's Chest in slaver's exile I got A BLAZING WIND WAND!!! very pro, I think it would be about time something drops thats nice and worth something
Saphatorael
DarkGanni, my first 3 green items that dropped for me (including Duncan's Chest), were Soul Reaping-attributed. I do not have a necro. So far, no other greens have dropped (though I got Kerrsh's Staff through some quests)
Aaaaaanyways, my unlucky items would be... bricks of mud, and clay bricks ... never had them drop for me

In the grand scope of things, I would say Obsidian Shards. Don't get me wrong, I've only been to FoW a total of 5 times, but 2 of those 5 trips were spent clearing it (got bored, never went back). Never got a single shard, period. Meanwhile, a friend of mine went with us on one of those clearing trips and got 5. Go fig.
Arcane_Penguin
until GWEN came out I've never had a green, been playing for 14 months, although now with GWEN i've gotten 38 greens (nonweekend)

^^ Soulless - lol, ya, that would be my 2nd pick; I needed 5 for some off-hand or other and it took me forever (well, several days) to get them.
^^ kazjun - I hear that; I have less than 20 of those, same with moon shells and a couple of others. Warden Horns, on the other hand - 3 stacks.
^^ Malice - so I discovered, thanks for fixing that.

Moloch Vein
Any "new" skin gold item.
Cebe
Azure Crests would have to be up there for me, along with Truffles.
But really, if there's a collector who has something you want, Sod's Law states that your chances of obtaining the required drop will fall drastically.

Zho book!
For me the funny thing is that I always get drops that I don't need or I have no use for them, especially materials for collectors items!
Destroyer cores, I always get some and the chests give me items that require 13 with absurd attributes when they are not purple!
Lastly I get gold hammers most of the time........! I should make a hammer warrior. :P
I would really like to get a good item...... at least once!

lol heh i spent about 2k trying to get Zho's Book, before it was available, i met her in virtually every tournament, and i played a lot, as soon as i needed it didnt get her for love nor money, since she eventually turned up she has reverted to being in every tournament again that i do.
personnaly i woudl say a rare drop for me is Amber, i havent had one piece drop for me, but i have had loads of jade drop.
I've been to muck about in the underword about 4 times and had two ecto's drop without even gettign anywhere lol. and i have had about 10 shards drop in FoW, only been there about 4 times too, so these arent rare drops for me,
Black dye i must have had about 20 since starting 17 months ago, superior vigors are about 4 drops
i've had two platinum longbows, a celestial sword, a platinum wand, and the odd other rarish skin but never one with perfect attributes
one day i will get my monk to survivor level 3 and actually start to farm for decent weapons and drops but not yet lol

legendary4321
i got my first gold goldleaf defender,and it was req 8.I just dyed it black and put it on my monk!!!
Kahlindra
Giant horn/tusks from the grey giants, needed for the Last of the Breed quest. Even with 4 characters in Desolation, and plenty of time spent up there opening chests and capping elites, I've only ever had 1, which sits in my storage looking forlorn.
Tutis Evito
Greens, I have all 4 GW and never ever ever had a green
Diddy bow
lockpicks for me ¬¬
cosyfiep
I will have to say black dye, superior vigor (got my first one last week in 2 years of playing), white dye, rubies and sapphires.....
I have gotten one of (each of) them in 2 years (ok white dye hasnt been out that long but you get the idea).

Sup Vigs are "rare" for me, just got 2 in a nearly 2 year playtime.
Onarik Amrak
Yeah, I'd have to say Superior Vigor is definitely on the all time rare list...
Government Flu
Well, what can I say? The drops I rarely get are either much sought after skins, or much sought after skins with perfect stats. I've gotten my fair share of golden gothic swords, for example. But they've never been perfect. Everything else, I've pretty much gotten. Just not anything ever worth 100k+. :P
lyra_song
a GOLD raven staff with decent stats.
I've only had ONE drop in 2 years of playing.
a platinum sword.
platinum sickles.
and a gold Ornate Shield.

Sup vigor. I've never had 1 drop for me in my playing time over the last 27 months. I've only had a black dye drop for me once and never gotten a ruby, but I did get sapphire in UW drop for me once, and since GW:EN I've had two diamonds drop.
R!ghteous Ind!gnation
Good Storm Bows and/or Eternal Shields.... and i spend alot of time in the UW
onerabbit
Outcast shield, ran 3000+ jade chests and only gotten one.
Zahr Dalsk
Green items. If I hadn't seen them from other players I would have thought the only way to get a green item is from endgame rewards, because bosses NEVER drop them for me.

Yup, in 2+ years of playing I have never had a Sup Vig drop. I think in another few months, I'll add white dye to my "too rare to be true" list.
I tried to pay attention to collector drops, but to me they are just nice stackable bits of money when I farm.

The ones I need. Not for money. The ones I actually need for MY characters and heroes.
Phaern Majes
Triple profession staffs. I don't know if they can drop anymore but I remember getting the gold staffs that were req. 13 protection prayers, +1 to blood magic 19% chance, halves domination casting time 9%. Or some such staff. Wish I had kept one.
Yichi
The winning lottery ticket dropping into my pocket.
Oh you ment Guildwars related... umm.... I have never seen in game, a Gold Bo Staff drop. Ever.
