Collectors Newb question - Guild Wars Forums

pedirn · Jun 12, 2009, 05:07 PM // 17:07

Hello,
Just wondering if anybody had a listing/spreadsheet of all of the collectors, what they collect, and where they are located in GW? I would do a forum search, but I seem to not have access to do so.

Thanks!

Should cover most things you need.

Unless, of course, you want to look things up by stats instead of having to check every single page to see if it's got something you want...

Thanks for the replys so far. I saw that wiki listing, but it's not quite what I was looking for. I remember playing GW for a short time over a year ago and I would get frustrated because I could not remember who collected what and I would just usually end up vendoring stuff that I probably traded for something better.

What I would really like (if somebody has one) is a listing or spreadsheet that lists the collector's name, location, and what they are collecting all in one place. I know I could google what I've collected and find a collector like that, but I'm lazy (

) and would like to have it right there beside me. Maybe if there isn't one, I'll create one myself...

I don't think there's a list with every collectable tagged to the collector. Most of the time it's the other way around: you are in need of a certain kind of weapon, and you start hunting the needed trophies.

If looking for specific weapon or such, Sjeng's Collector Finder should do the job.

I myself have been reading page after page of the wiki, looking for collector skins I like. So far none of them are that good, with a few exceptions. Normally I just vender all collector items, unless I need a fast weapon for a hero. Although some collectors offer non weapon items like honeycombs. Those are the collectors you should farm for.

Ok, this doesn't address the request for a list of all trophy items like pedirn mentioned a few posts above, but I have to respond to the following ...

That's when you go here.

That's a link off the main page - the one that says "Collector Weapons." Each link has a page with a table of collector rewards that are linked to that profession's primary attribute. The tables tell you all the stats of the weapons. It's great for when I go shopping for a new collector weapon.

If the wiki lists are no use then you need to do what I do with GW and that's keep a note pad.

Just write everything down as you play
