Ive been looking for something like this. When i get home i will check out the collectors in the area I am in (just came from Pre-Searing).

That was amazingly helpful Luggage. I appreciate it. I wonder if there's a community who wouldn't mind doing that for more areas. I'll try and get that done for the Yak's Bend area, although I'm not the most enthusiastic about exploring so I probably won't find half of em.

Luggage · May 10, 2005, 06:05 PM // 18:05

I think I'll keep it up, it's easy to hit "U" and "Print Screen" every time I hit a armor collector.

For the weapon- and "other stuff"-collectors it's hard to know if it's worth it since they dont list the modifiers, if any.

For example the collector outside Gates of Kryta had +15E -1E regen wands but I would never have known unless I allready had all the Singed Hearts and had to accept a wand to see what he offered. The list just said 5-12 wand...

Is this ever going to get changed?

Sausaletus Rex · May 10, 2005, 06:33 PM // 18:33

Yeah, the items collectors offer often have hidden bonuses or modifiers which aren't mentioned when they offer them. And, yes, the only way of finding most of it out is to trade for the item.

Anyhow, here are some collectors I've found (I haven't bothered to note the ones in Outposts just yet because they'll be easy enough to track down):

Asrial · May 10, 2005, 07:10 PM // 19:10

I'm undergoing a personal project, but others can reap the rewards of it, of getting information about all the collectors I come across.. including getting all the items.

One concern is that the 'special' items properties are random.

Like, for example, if someone (non-ranger) would like to go check something for me...

Dreaz Bowem just outside Ascalon. 3 Fetid Carapaces for...

Inscribed Chakram - Energy +6; requires 5 Domination Magic

However, after purchasing it, I found...

Domination Magic +1 (20% chance while using skills); Health +30

Asrial · May 10, 2005, 07:36 PM // 19:36

Innis the White.. same area, 4 Singed Gargolye Skulls...

The Diessa Icon has an additional of 'Enchantments last 10% longer'.

If someone (non-ranger) would be so kind as to check to make sure this is what they also get on this one too, it'd be a big help.

adam.skinner · May 10, 2005, 09:00 PM // 21:00

I've updated the Zerolives Wiki with a shameless rip of Luggage's work on Armor Collectors.

Asrial · May 11, 2005, 03:15 AM // 03:15

Boo! You guys are no help.

egads · May 11, 2005, 04:54 AM // 04:54

There's a collector in Talus Chute right outside the gates of Droknar's Forge.

The air wand is rather nice, especially since it only takes 10 minutes to get the scalps.

Rayne Morgan · May 11, 2005, 04:31 PM // 16:31

Someone had started a collectors thread in Questions and answers where I posted this. I'm reposting because I think it would be of more value here because people seem to be interested in it here.

Here are the collectors I know of. I left out the belt pouch ones but if anyone wants those too I have them written down. As I advance more in the game I'll add to this list, I just got to Nolani Academy yesterday. Fell free to contact me IG or here with help finding some of the more hidden collectors.

I've got the exact same stats listed for this item. I'm a mesmer so I don't think 'special' items have random properties. It's just a matter of if that person may have class specific armor such as the gloves. When I made my list I just marked which ones came out as blue items. I should have marked which ones I traded for. In the future I will do this.

Asrial · May 11, 2005, 11:35 PM // 23:35

My current project is to get every item from every collector I come across. Long project, but should be useful for newbies up and coming behind us.

Should I post my info here or create a new thread for it since it'll be listing in depth collector inventory and not just locations?

Stupid · May 12, 2005, 03:36 PM // 15:36

When I first started playing the game during the BWEs, I thought the concept of the Collectors was pretty neat. But as I looked at them, I found that the Collector's reward items were pretty uniformly sub-par... I typically already had better or could easily get better equipment through other means.

Now that the game has been released, I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the collectors actualy offer items and equipment that is actually usable. In some cases it far exceeds what could be acquired through more normal means. The stats which the collect claims are often much lower than the actual item. Many of the items are "blue", or have much higher bonuses that you might expect. More importantly, the bonuses seem to be tailored to aid the player in completing the missions in that area.

So, last night I spent a few hours surveying collectors. I only did one region, Old Ascalon, and only used a single character. I was able to get every collector item, save two. I compiled all of this into a pretty user-friendly format. Here is the result of my efforts:

Old Ascalon Guide

I should note that this a Work In Progress. I plan on going back tonight and filling in those last two blanks and also running a couple of different classes aroud to check these five collectors for class-specific items. After that, I'll start looking for collectors in other Ascalon regions. I know there are quite a few of them out there.

Asrial · May 12, 2005, 07:06 PM // 19:06

Since it seems alot of people are doing this, I'll make my project a personal one :P

Just to clarify though, Stupid.

Penelope Hood's Inscribed Chakram and Bone Staff are the two you don't have, as indicated by non-bold/blue, right?

Here's the Inscribed Chakram and Bone Staff for her:

Inscribed Chakram: Energy +6; requires 5 Fast Casting (NOT SEEN: Improves Casting Speed Using Fast Casting Skills (20% chance); Improves Skill Recharge Using Fast Casting Skills (20% chance))

Bone Staff: 3-4 Cold Damage; 2 handed; Energy +4 (all seen)

..and some changes..

Innis the White -> War Hammer of Fortitude is +25% damage vs Charr (this one before the update had '+25 damage vs Charr' (no %) as a standard feature).

Saba Blackstone -> Jeweled Staff is Chaos Damage and has Illusion Magic as the requirement.

Studio Ghibli · May 12, 2005, 07:20 PM // 19:20

Wow.

Nice touch, Stupid.

Yeah. I was a bit dissapointed with the Collector's at first until I noticed a Collector at Piken had a Rinblade.

Since I had an old Rinblade and it provided nice defense, I was thinkin, "Well, let's see what this one does."

And, DAYUM, was I impressed.

Don't get rid of it. The Rinblade @ Piken is now an Ascalon Razor (same stats though).
