I think it would be nice to have a Forsaken Thicket collection once the final wing of the Forsaken Thicket raid is released. It should require you to collect all the weapon skins and miniatures. Maybe even require to account bind a ghostly infusion, the tonic and one of the ascended raid only trinkets.
Reason for this is to give incentive to keep running the raid in the future since it takes many months to collect everything unless you are blessed with RNG luck.
Possible rewards:
100 AP (same as ascended armor collection)
Title: Master of the Forsaken Thicket
Special Glider/backpack skins or a red recoloured ghostly infusion

It’s not possible afaik, so those would likely have to not count
I’m missing like 3 legendary insights and I’ve been fairly lucky with raid drops and I’m still not close to completing this would-be achievement lol. I don’t think it’s a bad idea overall but maybe don’t count white mantle skins because otherwise Matthias alone has 9 drops that cost 600 shards, plus the miniature. You couldn’t buy that with a year’s worth of magnetite. If you also count raid wing 3, which might even have more white mantle skins or some other skin category with a lot of drops, we’re approaching old yakslapper territory with the time commitment lol.
They could make it a recipe like turning it into a 7 AR/5 stat infusion or simply right click “add to collection” like some items have for other collections. It turns the item in question account bound.

Do not forget that you can salvage ascended armors, trinkets and weapons you get from the raid for 60 shards and miniatures for 40 shards. So in reality you will probably get over 200 shards per week once the 3rd raid is released. Plus the lucky drops which directly unlock something for you. Personally I do not mind if it takes on average of a year or so to collect everything. It gives more longevity to the raid.

This is true, but I was saying it would take over a year to get the magnetite for only Matthias. It would be one thing if his drops came from other bosses as well, but they don’t lol. Even being generous with luck and including salvaging extra drops, if there are more white mantle skins (or similar) in wing 3 it would likely take 2+ years to complete this achievement…and you would have to salvage a large portion of your ascended drops to do it. That seems completely unreasonable. It would be much more reasonable to only count the personalized drops from each boss, so for example from Matthias you only need the staff, from Sloth you only need the Hammer and Focus, bandit trio you just need all the minis. This would still likely be over a year time commitment, less if you are willing to salvage raid drops and spent magnetite on only items for the achievement.
I actually really like this idea and thought it would basically be guaranteed when the last wing comes out. And looking at what I have remaining to get isn’t so bad either.
VG: 2 minis, dagger
Gorse: Staff
Sab: Back, rifle
Sloth: Hammer
Trio: 2 minis
Matt: staff, 6 boxes

The game needs long term achievements badly. PvE basically has none of them, even doing all precursor collections only takes like 2 weeks if you have the gold. 1 year does not seem unreasonable at all to me considering you will only spend like 2-3 hours per week inside the raid after you got it on “farm status”.
If you want to see unreasonable look at the 10k win achievement in pvp, you are in for 5k hours of PvP for it.

I would love to see them add a collection such as this once all wings are out. Will provide that extra incentive for people even after they get their shiny legendary armor.
I have pretty bad luck with the miniatures from wing 1, still need 1 vg and 1 sabetha miniature after running the wing so often. Not sure if just bad luck or if the miniatures have different rarities. But since they all cost the same at the shard vendor it is probably just bad luck

Cool idea! The white mantle skin’s number could be an issue, so them can be related to an achievement that says “soulbind 3 white mantle skins”.
For each boss: soulbind 1 weapon skin and and own an accessory. Exception of 3 white mantle skins.
This could be fair enought!

No, it should require everything. Just like every other collection needs everything.
If we would go buy your suggestion many people would have completed it 1 week after 3rd wing comes out, because they already have 3k+ tokens + lots of things from w1+2 collected.
