Collecting for fun and profit

This guide lists all collectable drops (or trophies) in the game with which it is possible to make a profit above the merchant value.

Why collect?
Most people only worry about saving trophies when they are in need of a specific item that they can obtain from a collector; otherwise, the only good thing to do with them is to sell them off to the nearest merchant. However, there are a number of trophies for which it is actually more profitable to trade them to a collector.

The following tables list all known trophies that can be traded for a profit, along with info on the collectors for each one. The "Profit" column shows how much profit you can make by trading to this collector:


 * When two collectors for the same trophy require different quantities of that item, use the Unit Profit to determine which is more profitable.
 * With only a few exceptions (noted below the tables), all reward items offered by a collector will have the same value.
 * Trophies marked with [[Image:Yes.png|16px]] are highly profitable, having either a Total Profit > 75 or a Unit Profit > 25.
