    Lightbulb Trophy Stash

    Create a storage page per character in the bank or guild hall for the named items characters collect. This would solve a large part of the storage space problem for longer lived characters and also add some interest for those players who would want to complete their collections. Only add one space per named item to discourage hoarding all drops and have a couple ways to sort search. This would make the search for your old items after TR easier and give the game some new interest and objectives.

    Treating them like Trophies is not the way to go. People run raids over and over and over, to the point that they're so good at it, it's just a grind. How is it a trophy when it's always a roll of the dice on whether or not you actually get something?

    This is a decent enough idea, maybe something like the way that the "Cookie Jar" currently works, with each "named" item having a specific spot, perhaps sell different styles, like "Weapons" "Armor" "Jewelry" "Clothing" "Epic" etc.

    And then a Player who gets a named item can put it in the jar, and it would not need to be only high end stuff, the low level stuff could be there, like, Piledriver, or even super low level stuff like Kneeza's Baubel because some players really get into collecting that kind of stuff and there is simply not enough room in their inventory for it all.

    Especially the low level stuff they want to keep because it is named, or what have you, but because it is quickly passed up item they and up throwing it away, even if they would rather be able to put in a box and keep as a memento from their adventuring.

    So good idea.. I'd buy it.

    Isn't most of this game a roll of the dice? Trophies/Museum/Collection/AllMyCoolStuff it could be called different things. It would be a place to put the interesting stuff we pull as we grind through the content.

    I don't know if I would put something I won in a game of chance up as a trophy. Trophies are earned, not the product of a long grind. It is insanity that we grind these raids and hope for a different item each time.

    I definitely would love for the TR cache to get some sort of sorting system, even the shared bank, and personal bank. They did it with our inventories, so why can't they do it to those?

    It is something we acquired, after all we had to run and beat the quests to get the item, so we earned it.

    End rewards should also be in the trophy hall, like Piledriver (End of Sorrowdusk Chain) or "Visor of the Flesh Render Guards" (Tangleroot End reward), these are trophies in their own way, or if nothing else a mark of accomplishment.

    a Head of Good Fortune only comes from the Reavers Fate raid, so you need to have beaten the raid to get the item, Simple as that, and that is not a roll of the dice, but player skill and effort. And while a head of Good Fortune is not Grind Worthy, if I had a Trophy Stash, or "Collection Chest" I would gladly put mine in it.

    Just one more thing for players to have fun with. so it's a good thing for the game overall.

    Exactly, I think it would add another dimension or point of interest in the game and I would have a place to put my Jorgundal's collar that I can't seem to part with even though its obsolete It might add life to some content and give life to others

    Post trophy hall

    agreed, many players have low-mid level raid gear that we currently do not use(other than for tring ). Constantly have our inventory slots/bank slots full of bound items(raid loot,end rewards,etc) gets annoying after awhile, +1 for this idea.

    Exactly, items we may have outgrown yet still want to keep, but always suffer under shrinking storage space.

    Or IF we TR it gives us a place to put away our items after they served us in the lower levels and then pull out the items we leveled into.

    But since it would only be for Named Items, you could not stash your GS in the Trophy Box, nor could you put your Alchemcial, Crafted, or other items, so it's limited and you could only put one in, so you can't horde items like having 6 heads of good fortune in the box. 1 and your done.

    So good overall idea

    Like I said, they could sell sets, like just Weapons (for those of us who just like weapons) or maybe just armors, etc, or have a huge one that holds everything in the game, sorted by location IE: Sorrow Dusk, Tangleroot, Giant Hold, Etc.

    Good idea overall, the more I think about it, the more I like it.
