Save, Sell or Salvage - Guild Wars Forums

I have an account, my wife has an account and we now have a storage account. I really thought having a 3rd account for storage would make things easier, WRONG! With all three campaigns plus EotN, the number of trophy drops is stressful. My wife wants to save everything because you never know when it might be the item wanted by Nicholas the Traveler.

I like to save things that exchange for "high" collector armor for when I occaisionally play my storage mules. I like to save things that other players spam WTB because sooner or later in the game, I figure I may want that item, too. I also like to save things that exchange for consumables during previous festival events. Ideally, I want to save things that exchange for max hero weapons.

Several months ago, I went thru mule by mule, checked wiki and sold most of what I had stored to recover space for gold weapons, etc. I probably went from 300 things to less than 50 that I decided not to sell. I think the list of what I checked and sold would be more valueable to me than what I saved.
I feel like I need to go thru and check everything again and make the master list of save, sell or salvage.

My questions are:

Is there a downloadable (safe, virus free) file that lists all the trophy drops? and maybe even what they can be exchanged for? whether to save, sell or salvage them?

What are your must pick up collector drops?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't know if there are any safe, virus-free downloadables, but you could always make a home-grown spreadsheet and keep a copy handy on your Desktop.

Must Pick Up Collector Drops:

Orr Emblems

(Technically, I pick up everything when I'm able to play, lol - then I cross-reference them on Wiki to see if they salvage/sell for anything worth a damn)

You may be looking for this: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Category:Trophies
It is a list of all dropping trophies. Collections of which items can be exchanged at which trader seems to be prepared, but are not filled yet.

If you are saving all drops, because Nicholas may request it in the future, keep in mind that Nicholas seems to visit every explorable area once and seems to request one item per area. There are 121 areas to vanquish, so I guess he will visit all these areas and request 121 different trophies. It is a few less, because sometimes he request rare materials. In the GWW list are 274 trophy items. Some of these don't drop from monsters but are acquired by other means, so I guess a rough estimate is that every other item will be requested by Nicholas.
If you really collect all trophies, you need approx. 6 mule characters with full inventory space. I do this, 5 mules are already full.

The only thing I can suggest is that you look up various items you have on the wikis to see if you think you may want them for something. As far as saving everything because Nicholas the travel may someday want it - personally I don't think it's worth the bother and/or storage space. It's reasonably easy to farm any item Nicholas wants, especially if you have a Perma-sin or 600/smite duo.

I can relate to that, when doing Luxon title I had ammassed a LOT of Guardian Moss, which I merched (+1 to regret title) because I never thought A-Net would have that as a traveller item! Same thing with rot wallow tusks, after the last double vanq. etc. faction weekend I had loads which I again merched. Guess what Nick was collecting the Monday after the event, /doh!
