Guild Wars 2

What are trophy labelled items like cogs good for? currently my bag is filling up with them and there’s no collection section for them are they just to sell for money? You don’t seem to be able to salvage or craft with most of them? Also if I change servers will I still be able to play with friends on other servers? Obviously WvW would be an issue if on different teams but what about dungeons etc? Thanks for any answers

I believe the trophy items are turn-in items that you collected during an event, but didn’t turn in. Things like irrigation parts or shiney apples or shards of ice. The items that let you help progress the event.

As for the server issue, I think I read something to the effect of “You’ll be able to group with your cross-server friends and play in the overflow zones, but you will not be able to quest on normal server zones. So anything that requires you to be on a server, you won’t get credit for.” I’m not sure exactly what those things are, but they may exist.

I think it’s just junk that you can stockpile and sell to vendors for a few silvers. Sort of like unusual treasures and baubles that you sell off.

I haven’t seen any other use for them, they’re the first to go whenver I need space in my inventory.

I am guessing (cue rampant speculation) that the drops we get now labeled ‘trophy’ will eventually be the sort of thing Collectors (and Nick-like NPCs) will want in trade for goodies- but they aren’t rolling those out en masse, so there’s no use for them…yet.
For now you can get rid of them at any merchant, there’s a ‘Sell Junk’ button at the bottom of the sell tab.
