Hello, everyone! 
After reading several other Collection posts, I decided to share my own little Collection/Story.
As a heads up, do not expect to see anything too exciting here. Also, I will try to keep this as short as possible. (It's still going to be long :P)
So, I have been a Guild Wars player since 2006 when I was quite a young lad. Growing up playing this game, I had no sense of what was 'valuable'. (I sold my Mini Varesh first week of NightFall release....)
What I focused primarily on was doing PvE content with my friends. (Which I do not regret one bit!)
My life has always been rather hectic, and so my ability to play Guild Wars over the years was quite sporadic. (Mainly due to moving 30+ times)
Now that I am an adult, and my life has been primarily stable for the last 6 years, I have been able to get back to the things I love. (Guild Wars Especially!!!)
Firstly, I was intrigued by Chest Running.....that is when my new love/addiction was born! After learning the basics, and some essential routes, I found myself experiencing the love of this game like I felt as a teenager all over again! Hours just melting into minutes as I tell myself "This is the last run, then it's bed time" knowing full well I am locked in for another hour.
Thankfully, through the amazing community that Guild Wars has always had, and actually through this very website I was able to meet the ever known Mr Clean, who not only has been friendly and accommodating to a n00b chest runner, but has been a big factor in me having the faith that I could still become a Collector, and getting it done! Big shout out to you, Clean!
To be truthful, up until this 20th Anniversary Event, my 'Net Worth' in-game, was roughly around 5 Armbraces. But, thanks to all the hype, I made a good chunk of money (in my eyes) thanks to the new Weapon Mods and a SUPER LUCKY Glacial Blades drop!! (q11 but still got over 10a!)
Keep in mind, even today my entire account has a total value of XXa, I have yet to breach the XXXa threshold so I am sure any of you big ballers out there with the fat stacks won't find much to see here. xD
So here I am, super late to the Collector game, but I am going to give it my all! I am going to list below the goals that I have in mind and one day hope to achieve. Hopefully through hard work and persistence, I can update my collection, and therefor this thread as I do so!
Primary Goals
- Minimum of 1 PreNerf Req8 Sword or Axe (Max Dmg), and 1 PreNerf Req8 Shield (16AR) (Prophecies skin)
- Req8 OS Fellblade (15^50 or +5e)
Other Goals
- More Max Stats Req8 Martials/Shields from Prophecies/Factions (OS or Insc)
- Enough Req8 Main/Offhands for my Heroes on my Main Character (OS or Insc)
Dream Goals
- Req 7 OS Fellblade (15^50 +5e)
- Req7/8 OS Exalted Aegis (Any Perf Dual Mod)
- Unded Mini Varesh (to right the wrong :P)
I will also reply to this Thread with a message containing my current collection of of this day: 6/28/2025
P.S. If you read through this entire post, thank you! It means a lot to me!
