Guild Wars 2

Hi guys hoping someone can help me here I am a little confused/worried ! So I am at the first stage of legendary crafting for twilight, I have most of the trophies collected or so it says when I look at the the twilight collection in the hero tab but I don’t actually have any of the physical items in my inventory or bank except one (Malchor’s Demise). When looking at the collection it shows all the ones I’ve done the events and fractals for and got the notifications for colored in as opposed to grey’d out. Am I supposed to have the physical items or no ? If so is there a reason as to why I haven’t got them ? Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Generally speaking, you usually don’t need to keep the physical items. Frequently, the item will even say (paraphrase) “only needed for a collection” (although, due to ANet Consistency™, some junk items do not say that nor do they have a sell value, so you have to manually delete them).

What I do is shift-click the item (so it appears in chat) and then prepend with /wiki, so it looks like…

/wiki Indigo Mushroom

Then I read up to see if that item needs to be used, crafted, transformed, etc. If the wiki doesn’t offer a use for it, I delete it.

If you accidentally delete an item you need later, you can return to the legendary NPC in LA; he will usually replace it. As a final backup, you can create a support ticket; Customer Service is really good at helping out with stuff like that.

When I did HOPE, there were a bunch of trophies that I did not actually receive, just given credit for. I expect yours is working the same way.

Not every collection item is a physical item. This is one instance of that so there’s nothing for you to worry about.
