I am under tremendous space constraint here added on by the new books. I notice I still keep my old Alpine Seeds, blah blah, from years ago.

I think with the BMP, it is not worth keeping most of these collecter's items anymore right? Except for some of them. So what are the ones that are worth keeping?

I suppose these are worth keeping (let me know if you disagree)

1) Destroyer Cores
2) Glacial Stones
3) Superb Charr Carvings
4) Golden Rinn Relics
5) Diessa Chalice
6) Victory Tokens (yes I still have these left over junks)
7) Lunar Tokens (yes I still have these left over junks)
8) Candy Cane Shards (yes I still have these left over junks)
9) Luxon Totems/Kurzick requisitions
10) Trade Contracts
11) Imperial Commendations
12) Bison Tokens

Any others besides these that are worth keeping?

What do you do with the skill points that your pvp characters have earned?

The carvings are probably the least valuable of the list. Trade them in for a weapon that you'd like to give to one of your heroes.

6-12 can be trashed unless you have 7 trade contracts, turn them into gems, other ones can be trashed unless you actively do CoF/Kill Vaettirs/Destroyers, otherwise sell them

Save if you want the collector items, sell to players if you don't.

VTs still in use. Save those, ditch the Lunars, and save the CCs if you'd like.

9 and 11 are pretty much the same. Keep one type and trade/sell the rest. Trade Contacts are useful for gems, so use those if you're following the gem market. Otherwise, I'd ditch them.

Turn 9 & 11 to booze. Always turn this kind of stuff (Battle Comendations, Monastery Stingie, Kouman Coins, whatever ...) to booze - it stacks and has nice value. Should save quite few spots
Turn 12 to booze too.
Sell or Use Booze.
Turn 10 to any random gems and put to material storage. I'd keep leftovers or sell to players.

I agree with most, however, I use the luxon/kurzick ones to get free salvage kits or id kits....otherwise you can sell them (same with the imperial things).

bison...sell, there are lots of players who 'need' to have the dumb crown.

Keep them if you want to get the item (armor) that they trade for, or sell them to others

Ya never know, they may be useful again in another holiday celebration

Trade these in for items from the appropriate NPC. I always traded these for ID and salvage kits, but check what else is available. Check the wikis for who/where/what. In any case, there's really no reason to "save" them.

Bison Tokens??? Either get Crowns for all of your chars or sell them fast, otherwise you're just plain wasting space. The rest all have their uses, but it realy depends on how badly you need space.

Probably the better question is:

What collector drops are more profitable to hold until a holiday event (to exchange for sweets/booze) comes along instead of just merching them?

Wait till winders day and then find the collectors to give you Festival goodies and then get rid of the rest...

WAIT I had a thought...

Pay 10 bucks at the online store and get a new characture slot so that you can have 70 more spots for stuff once tou get the belt pouch and the boh for it.

This way you keep your stuff and have more storage without saying.. Crudders i could have traded one sup charr carv for a festival item? man I just merchated them

do not sell the trade contacts, turn them into gems but make sure to get rubies, they are worth the most atm and can sell for a fair amount each. the rest of the armor items either sell or get the armor. the rest of the tradable items trade for booze.

You use them for bragging rights. IE, somebody tells you, "Hey, my pvp warrior has 21 skill points!" to which you (or I, as the case may be) reply, "Well, mine has 87, so I win."

That is to say, they don't really do anything at all.
