Probably an item you get when you enter Costume Brawl during Halloween
If that's the case, you can still get it during the event

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. Yep.
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:

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:
Preparation
Get the Everlasting Legionnaire Tonic.
It can't be traded between players, so you have to get it during Wayfarer's Reverie (comes every August).
Method
- Target a stationary non-player character (NPC) or object (such as a signpost) as far away as possible.
- Click spacebar to walk towards the target.
- After you start moving, use the tonic, and do not change your trajectory.
You will start holding the Fiery Dragon Sword as soon as you use the tonic, but will only change into a Charr when you stop moving.
This creates an effect of running across the town holding the sword.
(you can use the tonic again for the same effect: you change back even when using it for the second time while running)Have fun! Hope you enjoyed it!

Swords, I've always been fond of them. A beautiful sword is literally the first thing I searched for in this wonderous game.
When I stumbled upon a Long Sword (such beauty I might add), I thought: "Well, this must be the longest sword in the game, right?"
The question has left me wondering ever since.
Which sword is the longest?
Although length is not as important as the sword's overall design (and there is an abundance of well-designed weapons, long or short), I finally did some research, and compared some of the swords I had. I'm sure there are quite a few missing, yet I hope that I've captured at least the few swords that rivals the Long Sword in length.
Now let's feast our eyes on some beautiful swords! The following pictures were captured in the same pose (it's a one-take, with absolutely no character movement) while under the effect of a Ghostly Hero tonic. Therefore the sizes of the swords in these pictures are comparable. The swords are arranged according to the horizontal length from the handle to the tip. Some swords may seem larger due to the curve, or the longer "tails" (the design at the rear of the handle). It took a while comparing them one-on-one, and some of them are really close in terms of length.
(The enormous ones)
(The medium ones)
(The medium-short and cute ones)
The names of the swords, from long to short
(The enormous ones)
Wyvern Blade
Sephis Sword (a needle-like tip makes it slightly longer)
Obsidian Edge (surprise! it's almost exactly as long as the Emerald Blade)
Emerald Blade
Dead Sword (also a surprise for me)
Long Sword
Turai's Sword (I'm amazed it didn't make the top 5)
Runic Blade
Greater Sage Blade
Fellblade
Wingblade Sword
Colossal Scimitar
(The medium ones)
Fiery Dragon Sword (flames not included)
Gothic Sword
Platinum Broadsword
Crystalline Sword (actually, it's a quest reward from pre-searing)
Brute Sword
Jade Sword
Forked Sword
Plagueborn Sword
Oni Blade
Shadow Blade
Fiery Embersteel Blade
(The medium-short and cute ones)
Emerald Edge
Elemental Sword
Sage Blade
Katana
Shinobi Blade
Broadsword
Vertebreaker
Lesser Sage Blade
Dadao Sword
Fiery Gladius
Jitte
Golden Phoenix Blade (has a long and beautiful tail)
Short Sword (collector folks like to call these "Long Swords")
So there you have it folks! What do you think? Is the Wyvern Blade the longest of them all? Did I accidentally miss a few very long swords?
As a little bonus, I went to test the length of Turai's Sword compared to the Eternal Blade (standing on the same spot as a Ghostly Hero NPC). Here it is:
And that's all for now. Thanks for reading. I hoped that I at least entertained you.

Hello, I've recently done a GWAMM (my first in 15 years). In my opinion, try to have fun and don't rush it, cause it will take quite some time. Also, take a look at the wiki GWAMM guide and HOM guide.
1. Yes. I see you've maxed out devotion (miniatures). Fellowship can be done rather quickly (play challenge missions or buy some hero armors). Valor is probably next, as you only need one Tormented weapon to complete it (costs an armbrace, or get the once-per-account Reverie gift). Resilience will be costly, especially the obsidian armor, but you can complete the collection across different characters, so get all your characters elite armors of your liking and you're done.
2. Yes, it takes the longest to max out Honor. You can do GWAMM on the way as they're mostly the same thing. For the PVP statue get Zaishen rank 3. Complete the elite areas in normal mode for a few statues (FoW and Sorrow's Furnace should be easy. DoA should be doable if you know the drill. Underworld, Urgoz, and Deep will be hard if playing solo, but not impossible. To make them easier and more fun, find a guild or some friends to do it together).
3. For GWAMM, the following is my list: (finishing medium should give you GWAMM and 50 in HoM)
- Easy: Asura, Norn, Deldrimor, Vanguard, Sunspear, Lightbringer, Party, Sweet, Drunkard, Survivor, Guardian, Zaishen (rank 3), non-title statues
- Medium (a bit time-consuming): Skill Hunter, Legendary Defender of Ascalon, Master of the North, Cartographer, Vanquisher
- Hard (avoid unless interested): All account-wide titles, with Lucky (rank 2) and Unlucky (rank 2) being the easier ones
4. The trick is to have fun and enjoy the game. When you feel frustrated, do something else. Use Texmod for easy cartography (it's on the wiki). Doing everything with cartography may save time. I used this hero team to complete most of my GWAMM. You can also PM me (here on legacy or in-game) if you need any help.
5. Estimation: a few months to a few years. (depending on your play time of course)
