would have been an amazing self-drop

AND I do collect clean-value insc stuff
AND my favorite color is blue

Just saw two of them here fore winter. Lora Lanaya and Ghavin.

I've seen mobs with animal names a few times, but this is the first time I saw a gold pile that wants me to attack it so badly

After I killed some foes and re-selected it a few times, it was still red. During that time, other gold piles dropped and were all normal. This pile was then picked up normally.
I actually hoped I could kill it

Thanks for the heads-up!

20e for that Zodiac Axe 400g

because 20 x 20 = 400

thanks!

Blind Was My Fury Thanks! I took the compliment as a challenge, and went ahead and re-cut all the gold grids into perfect cubes they should look nicer now!

And here's another honorable guest to my collection:

name matches the inscription perfectly it's a nice vaettir shield

Wintersday Gift
cause my birthday is near, and I've always thought those gifts were for me

Marvel or DC?! (and I'd love to hear reasons too)

Some of my personal opinions:

1. Leveling suggestions: When you get to lvl 10, do EoTN first (or at least until you get Xandra and Livia, which are very helpful heroes), then proceed to Nightfall, and then Factions or Prophecies. This way you get heroes early on which really speeds up the gameplay. Before getting to EoTN, characters from Factions level up pretty fast by just doing the primary questline, so I would start from there.

2. Progression suggestions: On a new account, the first goal I would set is to beat all campaigns once (preferably on a single character). This way you gain access to hard mode, most skill trainers, and bosses with elite skills. Heroes on other characters can use all skills you've unlocked account-wide, so you will have access to end-game hero builds on your second character immediately, which really helps if you plan to beat the game many times.

3. Build suggestions: At first only a handful of skills will be available, so just try them out. Use the highest damage skills you have and don't worry too much. As you play through the game, you will find which playing style you enjoy the most. Get BiP on a necro hero early on, and you can try out more energy-demanding builds. I actually use the same bar for all the professions (yes even on a warrior)
[Build=OAdTYUP/RaBaX0mMmURE3JCitBA]
I also love "fall back" on heroes to go through the game faster.

4. Help suggestions: Consider joining an active guild (such as Lgit), people are usually friendly and helpful. Helping and showing others around is a very fun part of the game (at least for me)

Just updated my whole collection! New pictures, with four-season themes for the four attributes of shields. Take a look!

Big thanks to some kind people who helped! Still missing some shields but I'm content for the moment. Thank you all!

finished my last character-based title today
such a clean-valued finish too!

Thanks Blind (for tagging me)!

I agree with the above, 10+ arms
probably auction it, maybe more will be interested

(I'll pass on this one though, only looking for insc shields right now)

First time noticing these gigantic floating pillars in Domain of Secrets

It's incredible that GW can amaze me after 17+ years

They're near the portal to Gate of Madness, if anyone wants to check them out

Hello. These are the builds I use with my fairly new character

Gwen (the usual)

[Build=OQlkAkC8gZezO+EkDmemuhQGAnC]

Ogden (or) Dunkoro (UA is very helpful when anyone dies)

[Build=OwUTMwnC5hhcR6i1j7aLJDs8BA]

Vekk (yes, 1 Searing Flames is not so good, this is just for nostalgia. Feel free to swap to Lightning)

[Build=OgljowMpZO74dBdbsiMoF4iaMA]

Olias (a good mix of offense and defense)

[Build=OAhjYghqIPXzyJGrqKNncDzLGA]

Xandra (also a mix of offense and defense)

[Build=OAOjAyhDJPYTr3ZbzBNdmtkLGA]

Hayda (she is just here to look pretty and shout "Fall back!")

[Build=OQWlIwDbZYaoyIDuA5AcqpLD0y2x]

Livia (the usual)

[Build=OANDUshvSyBUB4BKgbhVVaR3VA]

And, my own build (enjoying a Monk at the moment, still exploiting AP as usual)

[Build=OwcT4UP/RaBaX0mMmUR06LCitBA]

I did have to progress / finish EotN for Livia, Hayda, and some PVE skills

early on, I used a generic Any/Me build with MOX, Kahmu, Tahlkora, or even Koss

[Build=OgWjIwDM7MygLQOAna6GCZgWGA]

Most playthrough seemed easy. Hope you find these useful.

hello friends it's been a while

finished this little collection

one of my favorite shield skins

thanks to everyone who helped

Greetings! Welcome to my humble collection of "X00" items.

(where all things have a gold value of X00)

Why X00? When I see these "hundreds" numbers, I feel a satisfying sense of completion. It feels like the game has somehow saved these item for me to savor at a particular moment when I found it. It somehow reminds me of the many moments when I first completed a campaign or a dungeon, or finally got that title I've been grinding for months. It is the moment when hundreds of trials and errors finally pays off. Guild Wars and the many friends I met in-game have given me countless unique moments to savor. And though most friends I don't meet anymore, I am grateful beyond words. In other words, I just like those numbers. Yeah.

Okay, enough with the sentiments. I love shields, and many of my favorite skins come only in inscribable versions. I wanted to collect them, but in a special way. That's how I started this collection. So without further ado:

====== Side Collections ======

Here's me running around in Kamadan with a Fiery Dragon Sword.

And yes, everyone else can see it! (it's not just a client-side glitch)

I discovered this a few days ago, and I'm going to tell you how I did it.

Just in case someone wanted to take guesses, I hid the methods in the following:

Have fun! Hope you enjoyed it!
