Guild Wars 2

Basically, i’ve been farming some nodes and depositing the collectibles via the interface in game, however, I returned to my bank and none of the items are there… Furthermore, i’ve been killing enemies and they’ve been sparkling as if they have loot, yet there is none. And i’ve been killing lots of them (sons of svanir).

I quit the game, opened it up again, but it hasn’t changed.
I’m hoping it’s not because I popped a + xp bonus and + speed bonus that somehow I don’t get loot?

To sum up:
My collectibles have gone missing (i’m a noob, maybe they are hiding somewhere obvious?)
And in the last 15 minutes I haven’t been receiving loot from kills (from sparkling bodies).

Any knowledge guys?

Thanks.

Also; if i identify a dye the consequence is that the dye disappears. What is going on?

Collectables storage is in the bank, but in another tab rather than the main storage slots. On the left pane, there is an icon with 4 squares – click on that to open the collectables storage pane.

For dye colours, when does it disappear? Before finding out what the colour is, or when you double-click on the identified colour? If when you double-click on the identified colour, that colour is now permanently unlocked for use on that character. In the “H” hero window, just above the icons for the armour you are wearing is an “eyedropper” icon. Clicking on that allows you to change the colour of your armour using any dye colours you have unlocked on that character.

I’m not sure on the loot – I’m assuming that you have been hitting “f” to loot the bodies. If you have auto-loot turned on, you still need to hit f – but things are then put in your bag immediately when you hit f, and a list of the items are displayed above the mini map temporarily. There has been mention of a bug where the list moves up if you move the minimap from the bottom of the screen to the top – effectively putting that list off the top of the screen. Maybe test by keeping your inventory window open on the side before looting the next body, and see if there’s anything appearing there?

Thank you so so so much Melana.
Everything I had an issue with, you have helped.
You should have seen my reaction when I found the collections in my bank, aha.
I found the dye in my bag.
And it is the mini map thing! I moved it up and darn, you’re right, I can’t see the list.
But yes, it seems as though my looting is working correctly – just tested.

Thank you very much for your help Melana.
