So much evenness.

You need to balance it out by acquiring my decidedly odd r7 skeleton shield with -1/stance and -20% disease.

Very nice collection you have there. I was going to say that even the gold amounts are all even.... but looking back at the last 20 posts.... all gold items seem to have an even merch sales price which have been posted in this thread (recently at least... didnt have the time to go back through the whole thread).

EDIT: Thanks for the info Max... thats good to know... but damn... I was hoping to sell this completely legit shield

Yep, all gold values are even. That was how we caught out a photoshopper a few years ago for posting (fake) awesome items here.

/edit
It was Hyori, and he has deleted his fake pics anyway. It was around page 38 onwards, which it seems is coincidentally just after I started collecting.

/edit
Kromp will be in contact about that massively awesome shield of manliness in due course.

It's because purple and gold items have their value multiplied by two and four respectively.

Now I know why you wanted the crystalline so much.

There are a lot of superlatives thrown around in this thread, perhaps a bit too easily. However, this set is pure awesome. There aren't the words to express just what a magnificent job Stuey has done folks.

What we have here ladies and gentlemen is a set of absolute perfection, comprised of the rarest weapons known to exist. To assemble three of the finest items like this is simply jaw-dropping.

This is Guildwars history right here, and this set will be sung about around campfires for generations as the tales and legends of collectors are told and re-told.

Stuey, I salute you.

Very nice! I have to compliment your taste...but when it comes to manly standing, it's all been done before (on p.8 of this very thread):

Nobody forgot, Captain. Nobody forgot. The world is a better place today for displaying all this awesomeness.

However, to assemble a set like Stuey has here in today's collecting climate is every bit as much of an achievement as when you assembled yours old chap. Remember the hoops you had to jump through a year or so ago to acquire the serpent axe? (Or was it the dwarven axe? I can't remember...)

Yes, the same sword. I traded it away as part of the deal for the unconditional axe. Before then, it had been in my collection (unknown to just about everyone) for years. The person who traded me the axe quit the game soon after and sold off the items I traded him at ridiculously low prices. The sword went Jock and then was then shuffled around among the usual crowd. That is how it got to Tooburns and now to Stuey.

...and that's Jason, not my man Burnsy

@Max: I haven't jumped through hoops for years...that image (which contains both of the axes you mentioned) was from (believe it or not) 2011. Time flies.

Ah right. Y'see, this is what happens when we get old.... The hoops I was referring to was fairly recently, and I remember you had to assemble a pile of armbraces for something... I was fortunate enough to be fairly loaded at the time, and was able to assist you in this by relieving you of some dual reduction shields....

But just as I walked into this room a few minutes ago, and can't remember why I came in, I have forgotten what the item you were hoop-jumping for was....

But there was definitely hoop jumping involved

What I most like about my new path in this game is that I get to see all of these amazing collections and I know what they mean. Every time I think I've seen it all I get blown away again. Amazing set Stuey and thanks for reposting those links Captain.

I think the hoop jumping Max recalls was for the r10 Dwarven you bought off of me, Cap'n.

While buying all the braces on his game play schedule would have required significant hoop-weaving acrobatics, we decided instead to just go outside of town a couple times and play dodgeball with stacks of ectos.

Ah, yeah, there were hoops jumped for sure...but judging by the dates on my old PMs with Gregor, that was 2 years ago already.

They say that time passes more quickly for us as we age. It must seem like a blink of an eye for you. I know it does for me. I'm afraid there's nothing for us to do, old friend, but sip some brandy and enjoy our inevitable senescence.

Maybe install some extra handrails around the guild hall.



Man those look like some easy-grab grips right there.

I immediately told Plekki in game that while it's a nice set, I was sure it wasn't the first and there was probably more that could beat it. Especially if someone like Akh showed a piece of his collection. Or Malice Black displayed his....

Alas I also had many many nice items in my collection I sold over the years. Many I regret selling but that's part of it all. Also had an opportunity to purchase many others that I wish I had purchased. Like the r7 spiked twin hammer - bacon and I both found the seller in Droks selling for an absurdly low price. While very tempting, we both felt we had to inform the seller that he could obtain much more, even in those days. He STILL sold it cheaper than we told him, and I would have gladly paid what he asked for it but sadly I did not get the chance.

Either way, thanks all for the compliments - and very nice collection there Kromp.

Not sure if he still has screens - but I know he sold his collection. All gone.


Malice was a character that is for sure. lol Miss the days he was in our guild. Extra Bacon had a pretty decent collection as well Hairy.


I am still very curious about Billiards collection - but alas he has yet to show it all.

TBH I havent been playing for two years and only just now got back, Should have made the WTB post before I left and just picked up the swords when they popped up, would probably have been finished by now.
Trying to find a good core chestrunning/farming area.. If anyone got any tips or areas to share id really appreciate it.

That longsword collection was one of my main inspirations to begin collecting, Olle. My favourite skin of all. It's made more special by the time and love you have given to it. Huge respect for sticking with it. Hats off to the dedication.

And I love that r7.

That is a very very pro set. Congratulations on getting them, they suit you.
And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous.
