Guild Wars 2

I have been working on my legendary crafting and I bought all of the tier 1 collections. I have been just getting the items as I go the areas in normal play (not actively farming these collections).

My question is that after we get the items needed for these collections, can we get rid of them or will the items be needed for the tier 2/tier 3 collections or for anything else? All of these collection items are filling up my bank. 4 of my 18 characters are now being used as extra bank space.

This question also applies to non legendary collections like the books for Zinn’s Prize Student, the Specialization Collections (eg Mistward Pauldrons), and every other collection.

Can I dispose of the collection items after I get them and they show up in my collection?

I am requesting mod response just to be certain.

Once an item is in your collection (as in it’s lit up on the collection menu) you don’t need to hold onto it.

A lot of collections are intended to be long-term goals and/or things you complete gradually while playing (Trash Collector and the ones for collecting armor and weapon skins for example). It would be extremely impractical if you had to hold onto the items until you have all of them.

Edit: If you’re really going to insist on a mod response you’re going to be waiting over 24 hours at absolute minimum because it’s 8:40am on Sunday morning where they are, so no one will even look at this until tomorrow morning. You should also be aware that they very rarely answer questions like this and are even less likely to answer ones that demand that they do.
