What are these Blue Collectable items for? I've had 3 in my bag for a week now lol?

I believe they're for specific in-game achievements. I just sell them. I can do all that stuff later on.

Use the first one which removes it from your inventory,and then sell any duplicates is a better approach in my opinion. That way you are making progress towards the achievement only loosing 31 gold a time.

Look in your journal under achievements & collectables.

Scroll through it and find the collectables you have & a checkmark next to it.

That's it. You're done with it. Now you can read up on it to see why it is significant and then sell it.

They are for achievements AND unlocking new dye colors. I would NEVER sell one unless you have already did /use on it and its a duplicate as they are very rare and you can farm certain creatures for their personal collectable drop and not get it for weeks

It's not like there isn't a buy-back function. But yes, they're for ingame achievements (monsters tab I believe) and for unique dyes

If these are the Blue Legerdemain Loot Collectibles, then you can't use them. You also have to sell them to a Fence if they are marked stolen (Red Hand) However, these have a price of 250 gold, where the Monster Trophies have a price of 31 or so gold.

You can put 31 gold priced items in the bank for an alt to use, or you can sell them.Each character can only use them once, so that might be why you can't use them if they are a monster trophy. Look in your Journal, under Achievements to find the list of what you have and what you don't.

Like all collectables they are for collecting.

Damn...I've had about 10 of them that I sold after hours of not finding use for them. How exactly do you use them to unlock dyes?

Right click on them then select use.Dyes are unlocked when you collect certain sets of them.

I'm also confused by this subject. I looted (and laundered) a 250g blue treasure yesterday, and also received a blue collectible from a battle. What is the difference between the term Treasure and Collectible, please?

For console all you need is pick them up and they count. No use on them fyi

The 250 gold items only count towards Legerdemain (one point for selling it, 250 gold towards the achievements for Fencing) They have no game use and just take up bag space. Fence them, or sell them if you Laundered them.

Mob dropped Trophies you use from your inventory, then you have a tick towards the over all achievement for finding them all. Note, this is probably the most grindy achievement out there as some of the trophies just don't seem to drop. None of my characters are close to having them all, and I have 4 VR Ranks with months of playing time.

I don't even try to chase this achievement, just take the Trophies when I get them.

The Collectible I have is called something like Wolf's Charm, I got it from one of the skull-and-crossbones spots on the map. I tried to use it, but it wouldn't do anything. Do I have to hold on to this, or can I sell it and it still counts toward achievements/collecting a set? thanks for any clarification. I can't even deposit this thing into the bank.
