Some sweet hammers there, EK!
Had to run real fast to make sure I have those Cloudeds...you got my pulse up for a few seconds, thank for that.
Thanks also for the kind words - life is good and Kromp is Kromp, ya know??
Thumbing thru this thread now and then is a blast
Maybe I'll paste together a pic one of these days...not all the hammers, but some highlights
Kromp is Kromp
KROMP IS KROMP
Here are some hammers. There are more, including my 5th r8 15>50 Clouded Maul (customized and in active duty) and every known r8 15>50. These are the highlights for your enjoyment (and my own).
Note: the War Hammers I've selected are the Ascalon/Matchstick skin.
i'm speechless.
been a while since this thread seen stuff like this.
oh wow..I did not know you got the q8 15^50 dwarfen hammer.and q9 15^50. and that q8 15^50 swamp club,even tho I'm not a swamp club person that is jaw dropping.
So much elite.....
Thanks for sharing this with everyone, these are weapons we just don't get to see ingame anymore.
With so many nice items posted lately i'll post someting too 
Thanks EK for new shield!

Not gonna lie, I had completely forgotten that req7 Hammers ever existed. My mind = blown.
So many beautiful items.
Inspired by Kabong's posting of 20 highlights from his vault (and badgered by Kabong himself), here are some highlights from mine. Enjoy!

I’ll tell you a little story.
Many years ago I had seen screenshots of these legendary items but had never met the owners. I had already decided to become a collector, inspired by Enchanted Krystal, and I made it my mission to track these items down and get to know their owners. The notion of locating and preserving the finest and rarest relics our beautiful game has bestowed upon the world was powerful motivation for me. I wanted to be a part of that. So I set about building a collection which I hoped would get me noticed by [PhD], the little guild run by Kromp and Kabong with the sole purpose of dominating the antiquity collectors’ sector of the community. My respect for those two and their collections was my main driving force to build something noteworthy along the same ideas.
Well, to cut a long story short, they noticed me, and invited me to join that little guild, and of course I accepted - my goal was achieved. But they didn’t stop there. They promoted me to officer as well. I’m immensely proud to be associated with those two and to know that my collections rest in the same vaults as the god-like items just posted by Kromp and Kabong completes my Guildwars journey. There is no finer collection in existence than these. Even today these items inspire me to be a better collector - to aspire to greater things in this game. To own and preserve items like these is an honour, and to do so in accordance with the ancient ways of honestly acquiring them is the stuff of folklore.
oh lord. What can I say... that's what I love about the game: those items that are so rare that even with that many players and that many years into the game they are truly unique. And that there are items that can still drop, which would be the first of their kind. The mystery and fascination in the hunt for those treasures and those vaults of collectors that are like museums - presenting the finest uniqueness in the guild wars universe still baffle me and keep me into the game - even after all the years. This game is one of the best games out there due to the design of the drop system!
Those q7 15^50 twin hammer, cleaver, short sword, the q8 15% uncond axe... that trolls magmas, q8 20/20 prenerf staves... those are highlights in this national museum of gw history - a glimpse at the titans of an ancient age, presenting a level of perfection that can no longer be achieved by mere mortals.
Thanks to all those legends who posted and let us enter the secret vaults revealing a glimpse at the crown jewels of guild wars! Showing us how a collection can truly be perfect.
Respect.
Props to Kromp for not custoing any of those beauties!
In a recent unexpected act of generosity Tyrant made one subset of mine complete: all +10 +30s vs dmg-types. (I know 2 of them are still higher req than 9 - I´m working on it!)
Thank you SO much! - and to everyone else, who is continuously contributing! I´m 15% complete on os, on insc I´d say around 50%... way to go :O
Awesome stuff as always Krompy boy, now gimme that req8 +5e Fleshy Hornbow, its kin wants it to join them!
On another note: Finally got a new addition to my bow collection after what, 5-6 years? Thank you so much Zen! Only 3 more to go.. 
Also throwing in some motivation for you to hand over that bow to me (looking at you Captain Krompdown) 
All I'm missing is a core skin Hornbow!!
Kabong So awesome, that Ascalon War Ham will forever be my favorite weapon in the game! So many amazing items! Captain Krompdown same thing, soooo awesome.
Red Fireball Glad I could help! Such a cool set of shields all together!
Glad I could find such a good home for that Eternal Ikki.
Epic stuff Kromp, Red, & Coffee!!
These are true one-of-a-kind items that we just don't get to see anymore....
One of the fondest memories I have from this game is shooting the breeze in Kamadan with Kabong & Surge, reminiscing & laughing about how we will still be here when/if the servers ever close. Let's hope they never will.
Unbelievable stuff on display.
The items, the history, the stories, the generosity, the persisting drive to collect despite twindling odds and/or exploding prices, the perfect things, the scimitar I never thought could look so good, the purple shield with lots of 1s next to it...
Pretty awesome. Thanks everybody.
Perfect Magmas are hot right now, right?
(New)

Right now??? Pffft, they are ALWAYS hot. Great work.
Emma, those are beautiful shields. I also especially like the fire, death, and (of course) strength shields from your larger collection. Really gorgeous.
Coffee...man, I tried to sell you that fleshy back in the day when I sold you those other req 8 +5e bows...and the dead bows...and the rest of my bows (iirc, Kiki got a good number of them, too). The fleshy was my baby then (which is why it was so tough for me to sell) and it's my baby now. I think it might be the sweetest bow in the game, all things considered (yup, it's my baby). Feel free to stop by the guild hall whenever you'd like to visit us 
Kromp may like fire stength and death, but I'll piss on my blisters in honor of the water one.
+1 water magic +30 healths.
Look, I can't argue with a perfect magmas that weighs so much. They are my not-so-guilty pleasure.
I remember the day that Q13 Stance Magmas dropped out of a chest for me. I fell out of my chair, looked at it again, fell out of my chair again. Nice to see it preserved!

I can't imagine having something like that drop. That shield was always on my list of dream items. I know I didn't get the shield directly from you, but thank you for sending it on its way to me
I got more than I expected and sent it on its way. Glad to see it made it you successfully!
those shields - stop posting proph skinned strength shields - I´m drooling
but I can´t help it either...
Thanks so much to the previous owner for letting them go - I will cherish them for the rest of my life - I think those are actually two of my best ones.
okay ikki correctly reminded me of my q8 +30 -2 set... that has to be mentioned in the list of the crown jewels of my collection 
Since we posting q13 magmas
Let’s see now...
Magmas shield... Check.
r13. Check.
Perfect. Check.
And a couple of others for good measure. This game is fun!
Now the real stuff is coming out 
Mag heaven! These are beautiful!
Those Mags took me forever to assemble....fun times tho. Glad you love them so much Max.
Fun fact, I paid 888e for the Q8 back-in-the-day, which was a LOT back then.
My internet drops for a few days and I miss all this stuff.
All I can say is I’m floored. So beautiful to see so much passion remaining for this game.
Thanks Kromp and Kabong for being active again and sharing. Kabong catching you online the other day brought a seriously big smile to my face. Also Kromp I still can’t even believe that Dragon staff is real sometimes. Definitely one of my dream items.
I still remember talking to you about Dragon staffs probably close to 8 years ago, on your Necro (named “With a Whimper,” after The Hollow Men, the T.S. Eliot poem, If I recall correctly.) Instant respect from that day.
Just being all nostalgic I suppose...
Miss everyone a lot.
Yuko
