Almost all of my chars use collectors items, except for the few green ones that actually work with my builds. Collector's weapons are underestimated.

[green weaps are not only about looks but also about status/showing off/bragging rights.]

And that's important in a game? lol

Collector's weapons and items are absolutely fantastic IF it comes in the exact flavor you want/need. Many people don't want a +45/-2 shield but want a -2/-3 or a -2/-2 shield, which you cannot find except in the gold persuasion.

Collector's weapons are really great though, I love my collector's monk headpieces - the exact same thing as the droknar's ones, except no need to get 25 parchment and pay 1.5k.

Green's are the same sort of thing - if you can get one that is the exact thing you need, its fantastic, often an easy +30*2 life mod or something similar which would cost you some big bucks on its own. But the same thing here, often times it is still not exactly what you need, and can only get exactly what you need by finding someone who will sell you a gold item with the exact bonuses that you want.

Most of us that collect perfect gold items know quite well of the value of collector items as well. And many of the collectors do customize the very best of their collection too.

t kind of sucks when you see a guildie with a perfect req. 7 axe or sword that you will never be able to get because it's customized.

We've got a thread of our collections in our guild forums. Hard looking at some of the stuff I'll never own.

Very true. I use collector's items myself. The major problem is that finding the mods still depends on pure luck or doing a great deal of "searching for them." Heaven forfend I should buy them. There should be collectors for weapons mods as well, or the existing collectors could provide them.

The Yoink's impression is correct.. perfect mods can't 'spawn' on purple weapons. (10/7 sundering is the highest you'll get out of a purple weapon, unless the magic guild wars fairies changed something behind my back)

but yeah, collector items rock, and there are some that I prefer over greens and golds.. (villnar's claw/glove, the claw sucks, grab a 20% recharge on curses collector truncheon :P)
