Spoiler What are cool things to collect?

[WrxScooby]

So I went out and got all of the Dragon Masks and want to go for the next cool thing. So I'm not really familiar with anything other then the masks as collectables and was wondering if there were more things like that in the world of Skyrim.

Im not worried about spoilers I have played most of the campaign at least after the war and after you send the main dragon away the first time.

So what has everyone found that is worth finding/collecting.

All the bugs in jars are pretty cool. I also collect Daedric weapons, unique weapons, and Thane weapons (ex. Axe of Whiterun)

 

[WrxScooby]

Wow so no body else has anything interesting to find or collect other then the bugs in a jar ( which i am starting to look for).

when I get done finding all the itmes for the Thieves Guild Wall, I'm taking them back to my house.

Books! One of each in a cupboard. I've even taken the another cupboard and separated the skill books into that one and spell books into another.

some of the unique items. One for example, the Horn of (someone) that the Jarl in Solitude gives you to put at a shrine of Talos. Once completed, you can take the horn for yourself.

Other items, Azure's Star, the weapons given when you become Thane, special jewelery like the neclaces of Mara, Talos, etc.

The Bug in a Jar is cool, I've got three so far

Speaking of weapons, the named weapons like Dawnbreaker and shield like That special dwarven one, can't think of the name that absorbs magik.

Skulls to adorn your tables and cupboards.

BOOKS!

I have an account dedicated to collecting books. I've completed many series of them and I have a total collection of 179.

On my current character I'm collecting Mage Staffs so far I have the following Staffs - Staff of Fear, Staff of Ice Storms, Eye of Melka, Staff of the Familar, Staff of Repulsion, Staff of Firebolts, Staff of Magelight, Staff of Sparks, Staff of Frostbite & Forsworn Staff.

 

[WrxScooby]

Nice thats pretty sick I give my follower staffs to see what he uses in each situation he has Ice Spikes, Fireballs, lighting fence, and storms.

I did actually start taking shields just got stealth kill um so no one gets upset

 

[jam]

I collect all the guard's shields.

And I like to collect NPC's journals. They literally fill all the bookshelves in my houses.

 

[Mabe]

The glowing red things from a dwemer centurion. They look great on a dresser or bookshelf.

I collect them too. Only 9 so far this run through, but I haven't done much Dwemer delving.

Also collect the uniforms of people I assassinate, then put silly enchantments on them (Ulfrics Smithing Outfit, Emperors Robes of Restoration)

 

[Evina]

I collect the stones of Barenziah, journals, and dragon claws.

 

[CRUNKJUICE2246]

a good thing to collect is dragon priest masks cause when you get the 8 normal ones go o labrinthian i think Thats how its spelt you pick up the wooden mask were it there then place the 8 and get a ninth which is beast but it does'nt take too long

 

[Kalin of High Rock]

I collect gems. Rubies, emeralds, diamond. I have chests and chests full of stacks and stacks of them in every home I own, and I own every home. I have every one I've ever picked up, save a few I've used in making jewlery(Of which I also have a large collection).

One day I'll dump them all on the floor of my home in Ravenrock and swim through them like Scrooge McDuck.

Oh, I also have tons and tons and tons of dragonscale and bone. The ability to make dragonbone weapons and arrows with Dawnguard didn't even scratch my surplus.

I also have two-hundred or so excess dragon souls. I keep those in my left shoe. No thief would ever think to look there.

I wish the game labeled soul gems with what was inside them. I once tried to collect souls, but it wasn't terribly interesting because it just says "grand."

It would be fun if we could name the soul-gems we collect, sort of how we can name weapons and armor we enchant. Maybe too much fun..
