Collecting the Collecter's Items (Fun to Do)

I've always liked the collecters. Lets you hunt down a certain creature and you can have an item for cheap. However a few that catch my eye were the ones which aren't Avaible in PvP.

They Incuded:

The -50 HP Grim Cesta

Soul Reaping Grim Cesta

Energy Storage Scoll

Fact Casting Inscribed Chakram







Halloween Items

However I have some I'm still after:

HoD Sword

But I notice my list is small I would like you guys to help me think of cool items that AREN'T avaible in PvP. You Could use the Energy Storage Scoll and get a E/Mo smiter with a Offhand and smiting rod.

I will update with new Items I'm after and ones I have gotten feel free to join me

There are a lot of collectors in the Ascalon area with weapons that have really wierd stats. Go check out some of those. They may add something interesting to your collection.

Thanks I'll look into it

Yeah, theres a Holy Staff with a weird skin as a reward for a quest somewhere in Ascalon.

the skin looks like yakslapper and is available from doing one of the quests from that ambassador guy

Also the Fiery Flame Spitter that used to have 15% recharge on all skills (10% now).

And the fake +55hp axe.

And the +5 permanent Fire Wand.

wat fake +55hp axe?

I love this one: collector in Droknar's Forge offers:

Deadly Cesta
Improves skill recharge using soul reaping skills (Chance: 20%)

The catch: there are 0 soul reaping skills...

i'm searching for the axe that has build in 20% enchantments last longer, some guy here is selling one for 90 ectos, little does he know, hes in some state of halucination, he also put another 20% enchantment last longer,

spent hours looking for the quest item, collectors, google, no luck yet.. still looking though

i got an air wand with 10:10 armor penetration

lol guess u can find anything in ascalon

You're joking right..? Damn I want this thing.. I'd kill for it.

I've been looking for that anyone know where it is?

I think if you walk out of Nolani, its at the collector right outside the door.

Ah, the 5+ energy wand, my best friend since lvl10
In Dragons Gullet, there is collector giving a shocking plasma blade, I don't remember the skin, but you might wanna check it out. I have never seen anywhere else at least

Got the Wand its a fine Addition to my collection

I'm also after the smiting prayer focus in ascalon but do you know if there is a better one



then that?

would need to see a screen shot of that one.

This is one of the other unique items you could craft in Denravi besides the infamous Denravi sword. All of the artifacts you could get there had the same stats, 10 energy and +5 armor. I can't remember the stats for the axe, bow and hammer in Denravi though.


This is a bow with a native +5 energy bonus which was a collector item just outside Sardelac Sanitarium. It's been replaced with a far less interesting bow.


Staff which gives +3 more energy than any other staff (as long as you keep your health above 80% that is), it hasn't been removed (yet?) and you can get it as reward for the Fires the in East quest.

The collector's items change!

I liked the stats on that firewand, and, going for one myself, I saw this [on my lvl 13 R/N -- remaking my ranger :'(]



I go back on my lvl 20 R/* and find the Damage -10% [2 times] version..

I now have both in my inventory, and I can barrage spam the charr in nolani real quick like again and fetch you another of this alternate version, @ poster of this topic

I'm going to HoD right now....

Another variant: the Critical Hit -10% in this variant can be replaced by 'Miss Chance: 10%'

hmmm strange I like the wand still

Nope, I'm afraid he's not hallcuinating. This thing is real, and it exploded into a fad over the weekend. There's a post about it over at GWOnline here: http://forums.gwonline.net/showthread.php?t=379577.

Well, you can't kill for it, because it doesn't drop . But you can pay about 50 ectos or so for one at LA 1. If that's out of your price range, you can get a 36-39%-longer one for much cheaper.

Or you can make one yourself by buying the parts: quest reward for Scavengers of Ascalon (3rd quest from Warmaster Tydus) + 2 enchanting axe grips. You'll probably see this axe (usually referred to as the "SoA axe" or "clean unmodded enchanting axe") being sold for around 15k. The reason this works is that this item starts with 2 built-in suffixes, Health +25 and Damage +15% vs. Charr. If you add any axe grip, it replaces the Damage +15% vs. Charr. Then if you add a second one, it replaces the Health +25. Adding two 20%-ench grips DOES work. (I made one of them myself and tested the timing, and yes, enchantments do in fact last 40% longer).

However, be careful. I got another axe and added a +29 health grip to make it Health +54 and then added another +29 health grip, and it reverted to Health +29! Adding a Defense +5 grip to make it Health +25 Defense +5 works fine though (and that's a nice setup for a trapper ranger to easily get within melee range to trap).

I am shocked that ANet has yet to do anything about this item, as it's devastatingly unbalancing for PVP. For example, Mo/E's can now have easy permanent Obsidian Flesh. I don't PVP, but it certainly makes my protector monk a lot more powerful in PVE. 19-second Aegis FTW . Even though I'm enjoying it selfishly myself, I'm hoping for the sake of the game as a whole that ANet acts swiftly and removes it. Because of this one item, GW has now (at least temporarily) entered the ubiquitous class of "gear is everything" MMORPG's. Well, not really, because skill is still most of it. But I bet this enchanting axe is powerful enough to give a serious advantage in PVP. And I bet whoever wins the upcoming tournament will have a team full of them.

unless they simply make them unequipable in arenas.

calm down already

Well that ax is gone but good thing I didn't get it

I prefer "collector" items such as this:
