After 3 years my biggest GW dream has come true! Thanks so much to Sensei Pawning, for awakening from his long slumber to come & make it all possible.

Here is my complete FDS collection. Thank-you to all my GW friends that have helped form this ancient collection.

Congrats EK. That is the finest collection of the Fiery Dragon Sword ever assembled. I know how long you were chasing Mr Jock for the final 15^50, and patiently waiting for him to wake up.

And with those shields you have shown us some of the oldest and awesomest stuff around.

You may engage smug mode now.

But only because I can't stand the look of the Fds. Although if those stats were on longswords or another classic sword skin then I really would be...

Still a magnificent set of flaming dead dragon heads that look like they've been on display over someone's fireplace for too long, and someone has stuck a couple of bent hot pokers in their mouths....

But you know.... Each to their own

Well, that's pretty cool. Nicely done EK...... Now my actual reaction:

That set is so unbelievably cool, I have no words.

Hail EK

Edit: Bestest is kinda being pushed in the shadows by EK. So here some respect for him: Those cele shields make an epic set, altho not as cool as your r7 swords

Ugh EK. You have no idea how much I've wanted that sword. If I never bought that island guardian, I would have bought the FDS out in a heart beat. I was waiting for that sword to come to market too. But it was after the ig and I knew I had no chance. I was sad.

Everything happens for a reason though. So massive congratulations for that. If you ever customize that sword, it will break my heart. Just saying.

That being said - can I... See it in game some time )))).

yeah all the amazing r7's and r8's are impressive, but I don't really have much to say about them either. I just hunt down nonmax stuff instead because I prefer to have the option to get them firsthand. I definitely don't envy having to sit in kamadan all day praying some old accounts become active again

Kinda want to do a special type of update on this ''collection''.

This is something I personally wanted for a long time along with Tooburns, EK & Stuey, but failed at our last attempt to get it done.
However when a new chance appeared, i'v sought common friends too join me on this real estate investment plan with success!

[PhD] and [ァアァ] have been very special guilds too me in the past and present, with great people in it with hearts of gold, and... piles of gold!
This should reflect on their guild capes being embroided with gold threads, but never was ment to be.

Today, I want too welcome a new guild in collaboration with [PhD]&[ァアァ] thats definately worth its weight in Gold



Ps : Shoutout too Buzan for being a bro moderator, Toobs n Emma for co-investing, and ofcourse everyone else that's in either of these two guilds being awesome as fk!

Our own cozy little gold home. Glad we could go splitsies on this Zeph. Always wanted to own a gold trim and now I do, well 1/3rd . It's good enough. I rather share this guild with you and tooburns, than owning my own.

A small update:



One of the advantages of having a network of friends who look out for each other is that from time to time I am PM'd about new developments by these friends who have located items for me. This week, it happened twice.

I logged in to afk in our guildhall three days ago, and within a minute, three of my guildies told me that there was a r12 -2-2 Aegis for sale in Kamadan.

But I want to specially thank Emma for locating the SoTW from one of her friend's contacts, putting me in contact and staying away from the proceedings until the shield was acquired. It has quickly become one of my favourite shields because -1/stance is SO DAMN rare.

Listen up friends, I have a story to tell--

A long, long time ago I was a Ranger player. I liked bows, and spent the first 100k I ever earned on a Q9 Stormbow (how tacky, I know). I had an Ele from factions, but I never played her. In High School I started to get back into Guild Wars a bit. I began to play my Ele, and I liked her. I got a cool, shiny BDS, and soon she was my main.

Then, I bought an idiosyncratic item. To be specific it was a Q8 Fire Wayward Wand, 14 E-1 / 10% HSR.

It was cool! An oldschool Q8 Caster wand? A rare and cool skin no less. I don't remember what I payed for it, but roughly seven years ago I did post an ask thread on Guru wondering about a Price Check.

You can see that and an image of me with the wand here:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/p...996&highlight=

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/a...4&d=1232143654

I eventually sold it for 50k or so (a month or two later) to a person I met in-game, named Aris, and thought nothing of it.

I didn't know it back then, but that one item kindled a fire in me; a burning, ravenous desire. Before I knew it, I wanted to become a collector.

I started small, but I knew I needed to fund my collection. I began to run people through missions and VQs to get capital, and quickly became one of the best at the time (at least in my opinion). I started making money pretty quickly, and I was ready to make my first real purchase.

A trader I met named Pleikki sold me a Q10 20 20 Platinum Fire Staff (which, before botting, to my knowledge, was close to one of a kind). I met Z-Split and Brave Kubanan and bought my three next items; a Q9 20 20 Fire Celestial Staff, a Q9 Fire 20 / +5e^50 Wayward Wand, a Q9 Fire 15-1 / 20 HCT Fire Celestial Scepter.

Before I knew this modest collection began to grow. I began to trade more, and customize the things I really loved (following a hacking of my other account that lost a very precious Bo staff). As the years went by, I acquired a number of Fire Wands, Staves, Offhands (not to mention some shields and swords)!

I've come a long, long way since then. I've made friends I haven't and won't forget; seen and owned items I never thought I would, and attempt to make myself a legacy among people I think are legends of this game.

I own or have owned a 20 20 Fire Staff of every skin other than Dragon (including, interestingly enough 3x Q9 Zodiacs and Q10 Platinums and 2x Q9 Celes).

I have 10 different Q8 Fire Wands (20/x or 10/X), including two matching 10/+5e Zodiacs and a 20 / 9 Dragon's Breath.

I have a number of prenerf Q8 10 10 or 10 19 Fire Staves (and one Air!)

I have countless Q9 Fire Wands, only missing a perfect 20/X Platinum Wand.

I have a number of fantastic offhands, including a perfect Q9 20 HSR Fire / AR+5 Paper Fan.

I have had some close to unique items--a triple mod fire wand, a prenerf Q8 Dead skin Fire Staff, a Q8 +5e Celestial Sword, a Q7 FDS (which I sold)
.

On top of all these, I can add two more items:

A Perfect Q10 20 / 20 Fire Wand (one of the few I've ever seen):



And (after years since I lost mine) a 20 20 Fire Bo Staff:



But, more than that, today is a special day. A day where a collection comes full circle, and nearly so close to actual completion.

I just got back the item that started it all; the item that, years ago, kindled in me that burning passion for this wonderful game--my useless and imperfect, but still so beautiful Q8 Wayward Wand.

And this time, its not going anywhere.



Thank you to Aris for helping me get this item back (not to mention the 20 20 Fire Wand, Paper Fan, Q8 Zodiac Scepters and many other items). Thank you to all the people who have become true and endearing friends. The memories I have playing this game are something I actively cherish, and the Guild Wars community is one that is so truly rewarding.

Thanks to everyone whose helped me make this collection, which started as a silly dream, into a reality.

Best, as always, and I apologize for all the fire puns,

[PhD] Yuko
