Collectors

Throughout the world of Guild Wars there are collectors scattered about the landscape, searching for a load of Bleached Shells or Fetid Carapaces, or what have you. Why do we deal with these nincompoops? Free swag, of course. Due to the huge amount of collectors throughout the world, we've seperated them into the following categories:

As you're searching for who-takes-what, keep in mind that collectors ONLY take drops from the geographical region they're in (with exceptions explained below); Jade Mandibles from the Crystal Desert zones are never going to be accepted by a collector in Lion's Arch. If you can't remember where you got a drop from, a helpful hint is that the value of collectable drops usually stay the same throughout one region, with only two known exceptions (though multiple regions might have the same value). Be warned that some drops which match the profile of what you would expect for a collectable might not have a collector at all.

* Note: Charr Carvings and Charr Hides are dropped by Charr who first spawn in the Pre-Searing Ascalon region but also have a dominant presence in Post-Searing Ascalon. Carvings are 3 gold each, Hides are 5 gold, and the only collectors for them are in Post-Searing Ascalon!

Because it is a pain to identify all the drops after being translated, we should collect resources about collectors in other languages:
