New "Collection"

[RentisB]

Going through some of the datamines I'm seeing new abilities for all DoH/DoL classes that let you add ore/fish/logs as well as things you craft to your "Collectibles" as well as some achievements for Collecting X amount of items.

Does anyone dare thing this will be similar to GW2 Collection or more like a time wasting checklist similar to the sightseeing log and such?

For those unfamiliar in Guild Wars 2, every new item you picked up(would be crafted in this case) went into your collection that you could later use as glamours basically, and you could also store all of your crafting mats there to use whenever you needed them.

Am I being too optimistic here? Especially after the retainer junk they're trying to pull.

Collectability is actually discussed in the patch notes. It's a form of currency to be used for gathering and crafting jobs.

Ahh nevermind then, oh well.

We'll find out soon enough.

Ya it's mentioned around the "scrips" basically what you do is used a "collectible" skill for your DOL or DOH class and the item which you are asked to obtain becomes a collectible and you have the ability to make it more of a collectible which seems to suggest the amount of scrips you get from the item is based on how collectible you can make the item.
