"Yuko Asakura: Origens" out now in theathers near you!

That is one hell of a story. After I met you yesterday I, naturally, dove deep into this thread, digging up your collection. And what a joy was that, so much "hot" stuff . You acquired some amazing pieces over the course of time. I'm really glad I could sell you that replacement Bo Staff. I hope it can fill the void the original left.
Most amazing of this story is of course the Wayward. You pc'd and sold it in 2009 and now seven years later, it is back. Now with your name on it, never to be lost again. You started your story with it and ended with it. Amazing!


Max,

I'm really glad I could help with that amazing Shield Of The Wing. I think a shout out to my friend and our fellow guru, Ele Kid, is in place here. He is the one who told me about this shield and set the chain of events in motion. I'm really glad we could help!


Tooburns,

Man those shields are amazing. Nothing more need to be said.

Yuko. This is why we do what we do. I sometimes refer to stories sung about around campfires by enthusiastic wide-eyed youngsters hearing the legends for the first time. Your story is the epitome of these campfire tales. It's not just about owning and preserving these items, it's the journey that gets us here and the people we meet along the way. I salute you.

Burns.... You made my eyes bleed. You're showing us all how it's done. I salute you too.

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.

Max

You are welcome for the -1/stance sotw Max, Glad I could help contribute to your fine collection

Yeah, I'm his guild leader, I showed Ele Kid/Koen the shield and got him to get a solid pricecheck for it, and luckily enough he knew you, who forwarded me to Max, Glad it was a happy ending for all parties :P

I love it when a plan comes together. Much back-slapping and glass-raising is in order for a job well done. Thanks again for sending it my way. It fits in my display cabinet very nicely. I had a free shelf for it.

Thought I´d put an update on here - picked up some (very) nice ones recently, can´t show all in pics here anymore - took quite a while to screen and edit these already :'/ Total collection is covering ~250 shields so far!

HUGE shoutout to all friends, guildies and any other sellers, who helped me get these pieces. In case you find any that would improve or expand my collection - let me know

So happy to see many of said friends posting their own collections, seeing them grow as well - all living from the exchange I like so much on here! Only problems occur when there are two collections covering an intersecting set that includes unique items. E.g. tooburns: that Defender... damn, I´d love to have such, but I see it in your collection and it fits perfectly in there... as well :P could you just make a copy for me? anyone?

Well considering my part here: my weps - some of my personal favorites as perf stat items and ofc I spent those 10g/ea as well for a little extra - could someone please finally implement the +20%arm custo for shields...? (Oh I sneaked in a shield here already - couldn´t find any category worth containing it...)



And the shields - tried to put them in categories, some sets that are close to getting completed - put those in order already Hope you like them!

The +10 vs. <creature> with DMG reduction



The +10 vs. <Dmg category> with DMG reduction



The +10 vs. <any> with Health mod



The +1/20 <attribute> with max second mod (HP or DMG reduction)
--- okay I made an exception on the 20% for the q8 one - hope you can forgive :> ---



The Standerd ones - DMG reduction with matching or unconditional HP mod



Thanks for helping
cheers, Red

Fantastic Red!

Such an impressive, dedicated collection is really something to see. You should put up some of the Lanterns you have left too though!

Love the Chaos Axe and Longsword too. : )

Amazing collection Red. To think you have ~250 shields of the skin. That's just insane. I am only missing a picture of your Warrior's new look..... Keep up the good work. Maybe next time we'll see all the shields you'll have by then, all 300, 350, 500, 1000...... or when ever you think it's enough.

Me too. That scythe is one of my favorite skins and Red has it uninscr...... but not any kind uninscr. No no no, of course it has to be r9 15^50..... I'm so incredibly jealous.

"Enogh to post" I suggest - for collection - there is 16 chars 65 invslots each, ~29hero off hand slots + the characters´ own off hand slot each, 9 Xunlai Panels 20 slots each available to me, that´d be 1700 items - now this would be the end of my collection latest - then the replacing process would have to kick in^^

I actually also have an OS 15^50 mausoleum scythe. But mine is q10 so you got me beat. I also have an OS 15% enchanted and 15% stance. I just keep them for myself to admire .

Hello guru's,

My last serious attribute shield collection update was in September. Back then I had just acquired the last attribute I was missing on shields. I have come a long way since then. My collection then existed out ~80 shields, including shields with +xxhp/ench. These I no longer collect and have put them all up for sale.

At this point I have 150 attribute shields. All with the mod combination of +1/xx% +xxhp. I have pre-nerf attribute shields, perfect ones and the worst ones: +1/19% +27hp. They are all part of a bigger goal, which I might never achieve, but we need to strive for something bigger every time, don't we? If my final goal was to own all available attributes I would have been done past September. Now I will chase my beloved attribute shields till they shut down the servers.

As most of you will know by now, the rest will see below, I have all available attributes in +1/20% +30hp. Except Protection Prayers, Divine Favor and Curses. Where I was a happy girl in September just with owning all attributes, I'm now close to a far greater achievement. I want to thank everyone who made this possible and I hope I will soon be able to complete the set and of course upload it here. For now, take a look at ALL my 150 attribute shields:

Mesmer:


Monk:


Necromancer:

After a long time of lurking, and drooling over other peoples collections, I decided to post some of my stoof. I have quite a few sets I like to put together but these are my most active as of recent.

My Flam Fam


Shout-out to Gregor the Mountain on selling me 3 of these including one of the q7's, and Stuey for a few q8's. When I have time maybe I'll take pics of all q9+ but these are the ones that matter.

PS. I'm always building this set. I buy all q9-13 OS with a damage mod I don't have yet, and ANY q7 or q8.

Perfect Enchant Shields


Thanks to TTT for selling me about half of these q11's

Fair warning that my next set is different and I know inscribable stuff is for the most part nonexistent on here, but this is probably my longest collection in the making and I'm pretty proud of it. This set is easily 80+ shields so I'll just post some of my favorites and if there is any interest I can post my full sets. I'm trying to collect every skin available in r5/13, r6/14, r7/15, r8/16 tactics and currently have 12 skins completed, most of which are gold.

Low Req Tactics PvP Shields


Thanks,

Attentions folks. Anyone wanting to learn how to build a collection should learn from Emma. It takes dedication, direction and commitment, and it is very apparent that she has all three. That collection will keep her busy for ever.

And Mr Ecto... I didn't see that one coming. I particularly like the inscribable shields collection. I don't think that has been done before, and it's looking very impressive. Just missing a set of 7/15 and 8/16 darkwings
And those flamberges are coming along nicely.

It's very hard to start and build a meaningful collection these days, but these two show that it's still possible.

Deals were struck. Lost a shield I loved a lot, but got one way more important. One of three missing pieces:



One step closer to one of my biggest goals . Just Divine Favor and Curses left. Big shout out to the two people who made this possible:

Thanks a lot OS T. I hope you enjoy my shield as much as I did. Keep it safe
Thanks so much Chrozinel. I hope you're as happy with your new wands and shields as I am with this protection shield

It's over. I did it.

After years, my Fire Staff collection is complete.

I humbly present to you all the greatest item I have ever owned.

Something sought by many people I consider friends, and some of the best collectors around (Salvatore, Gentleman, Buzan, Julio Dudule, Mai Merenda, Kiki Goes Boom).

The first Q9 20 20 Fire Dragon Staff I've seen since 2008.

This is my crown jewel. I have never before, and will never again, spend this much money on anything in this game.







"When I stood in front of the mighty Celestial Dragon, in the Guild Halls of PhD, his fiery fury shone upon me, and so appeared in my hands a staff unlike any other, forged in the flames of the mighty Canthan dragon."

People might say I overpayed. They might even be right. But I don't care. For this item, no price was too high. Hell, I even re-dyed all my armor to match it.

Special thanks to Buzan, Julio, Max, Gentleman, Emma, Rafke and Keitax for helping me in some way get this item. I'll try my best to pay you guys back in whatever way I can.

Love as always,

[PhD] Yuko
