Centaur Hooves as Trophies
For good luck of course. You don’t think that rabbits have cornered the luck market, do you?
I’m just waiting for them to implement ’Skritt Scat" as a junk item.

The hooves are a material component required by my female Elementalist to cast a speed boost spell and say “I can outrun a Centaur!”
As soon as a spell is added that improves hearing, she’ll search out those Inquest ears and say “I can out-listen an Asura!”
Please don’t ask what she would say if she was required to go out and collect a piece of Skritt.

No, Kormir knows but she’s not telling.
. . . but if I had to hazard a guess I’d have to say it’s [Redacted] leftover from [Redacted] and hopefully we can all forget about it lest the [Redacted] happen again.

I am more curious why they aren’t a cooking item. Mix them with bones and water and you have gelatin. And then there is pickled feet…

Gelatin is made with sinews, not hooves. I think you’re thinking of glue.

Kormir: “No matter how much I look at it, I can’t tell what it is.”
Player: “You’re a kitten, Kormir.”
Heh. As to the hooves, it may be that we’re not taking them from the centaurs directly. It’s possible that they collect them from their fallen as a keepsake or luck charm, or a way to carry their spirits with them into battle. Creepy? Perhaps, but I can see them doing it.

Maybe it’s humans taking trophies like in the past when they would take charr hides, or centaur manes, or gargoyle skulls . . .

Actually, it’s all human females who “can outrun a centaur”, and maybe even the males. (Been a while since I heard their swiftness quote.)
At least hooves don’t just come off centaurs. Any hoofed animal, like the dolyaks, deer, and goats drop them, too. Maybe they make for a decent hoof stew?

I would really, REALLY hope not.
These are sentient creatures, and while we may be at war with them, there should be limits on how nasty we will be. Honestly, we’ve seen that they can even be potential allies (Dry Top, the (missing?) historian centaur in LA).
As bad as it is to think that humans might be doing that, what about the sylvari? I simply can’t imagine any grove sylvari cutting off a centaur’s hooves as trophies.

The centaurs decapitate their victims and use their skulls as decorations. >.> Taking their hooves seems tamer by comparison. (Although I guess to a centaur, removing their feet would be a grave insult to them.)
“You don’t think I could., wait, that wouldn’t be right would it?”
+1 to anyone who knows what in game convo this came from, and what it was about, lol.

Oh, I recall that conversation. And yes, it’s just a bit absolutely WRONG for him to be thinking that.
I don’t remember who or where in the game it’s said, but someone mentions that the krait sometimes cripple/break the legs of prisoners they take underwater, to make it harder for them to escape before they’re sacrificed. The comment is then made that it must be nightmarish for the centaurs that they capture.

Because Evon Gnashblade is secretly in the the glue market.

Really, the only other thing I can think of is an underground glue market needed to produce all the copies of “Koss on Koss”. After all, glue does take up a relatively important part of the binding process and magic can only do so much . . .

Hee hee I remember another game I used to play were the drops were all sorts of sick things with examples being:
heads
hearts
eyeballs
livers
legs
arms
The list goes on and on, at least it’s not that bad here. :P The images for these things were gruesome looking too, usually with a lot of blood all over them.
Since when did this business of being a hero become being a business?
What do you think all those nobles in Divinity’s Reach use to stamp their letters?
That’s right! They carve their family sigil into the bottom of centaur hooves!
Feed humanity’s upper classes. Sell those hooves!

In Guild Wars 1 we got these as drops: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Putrid_Cyst
Putrid Cysts. Could you imagine killing something and deciding the thing you wanted to take as a trophy was a cyst? Yuck.

I didn’t know. Maybe the stuff inside looks like custard.

Imo all the in-game dialogue encouraging every player to “kill everything on four legs” etc is pretty messed up, since it seems the centaurs were the first stewards of the land and trying to protect what is theirs from the invading humans… And why is Ventari’s appearance so beautiful compared to the rest? If it were just the characters in the game who were pro-genocide, that’s world building. But when the game itself is pushing it, it’s uncomfortable.
My first playthrough the 100% “kill every centaur on sight and dont think about it” lore wigged me out and turned me off, despite how much I liked most everything else.
