Luminescent Seaweed, be careful not to collect driftwood before you need this. You can’t join other Ip’s nor do it on alts. I’m now stuck for 24hrs 🙁
Zak McLennan

I get no dialogue options with Efi, might be a bug?

  Found the problem, had the bandolier in my bag slot so it would not hand it over and stalled the conversation.
  - Nicci Costin
    
    I equipped it and can’t seem to unequip it so now it’s bugged
- Compartilhador
  
  Check if you are talking with him with the character that completed the story/episode OR you need to talk to Efi only after you collect the rest of the items
Jalen Dmello

This is actually pretty awesome thing they did 🙂
- Dulfy
  
  Yup free 32 slot bag that doesn’t require any expensive mats? Sign me up
Tiavor

> 18 Supreme Rune of Holding

I don’t know where this should be cheap or free
- Dulfy
  
  This is only if you want to craft additional 32 slot bags, the first one is free
  - Tiavor
    
    OK

Will i lose the bags from the collections by entering the next one?
actually i am at the 28slot collection and

cant find my 20 and 24 slot bag
- Jacky Andreasdóttir
  
  nvm, you need the bag to start the new collection
Mischki

Is the Artificial Diamond bugged? Or why am i not getting it?

Have done each of the elemental pre’s around 3 times and did not get it in the shaky chest? Am i missing something?
- DiePlz
  
  Have you done the event before unlocking the collection? because I did and I think I already got the chest but the diamond didn’t count? not sure tbh.
- Bin A Aziz
  
  I couldnt get the diamond to drop too. I did 4 rounds of pre event and the diamond didn’t drop. I actually did the event before unlocking the collection. I’m not sure if the diamond dropped at that time. It’s not in my inventory as well.
  - Mischki
    
    I managed to get it now.
    I got it from that patrol event in the northern Area, around Ewyn’s Retreat. Around there where the Legend Bounty spawns 🙂 I hope i could help you ^^
    Thats how it worked for me in the end.
    - DiePlz
      
      I just got mine through the escort event (it spawns somewhere around the Atholma Waypoint after the stormcaller echoes event), you escort the elders on their way to find Zohaqan. I got the chest just as we found Zohaqan’s cave thingy.
- Jalen Dmello
  
  Its rng, i got it after 7 or 8 attempts
- Ardenwolfe
  
  Had the same issue. I got the item when you escort the two riders before you get to the djinn. Got it at the end of the escort event.

Once you “obtain” a 32 slot bag you are able to craft more is INCORRECT(unless its a bug) or poor choice of words. Maybe Once you “equip” or “craft” a 32 slot bag it might work. I received the 32 slot ascended bag from this achieve and am still not able to craft any bags higher then i have already crafted before which for me is just the 24 slot bag. 🙁

…also this site is lagging my pc waaaaaay down & I cant open a page to dulfy.net for more then 5 mins before i have to reboot my computer. This didn’t use to happen 2 years ago, you do something different?
- Wizler
  
  The site bogs my PC down as well. Harder if I leave the page open longer. It goes away once I close the site. Might be the advertising.
- Suan
  
  From time to time on right corner of your current page on dulfy’s there’s a live stream going on in a small window, without asking you or anything. [I guess it’s from sponsor of the site or something] so that might be what’s eating your pc.
  - Dulfy
    
    Can you take a screenshot of this livestream? There shouldn’t be anything of the sort (unless you meant video ads).
    - Suan
      
      Hey, it showed up again, I get the stream on site all the time right now, no matter which topic I go into. “na żywo” means “live” in my language, there’s the red dot showing it anyway. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cb082fa5bbb9b772e2f9425f1c0ccb4ac2686b15cb89ea80732e3b86cb36a229.jpg
    - Suan
      
      Another one, this time it’s offline though. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d7378f4266265eb25b9f898ae5c3a03a2a84bffa11def58a5353efc947056706.jpg
- Dulfy
  
  The recipes showed up for me automatically, you might be bugged or maybe you need to equip the bag.
Alot

Nice that they found a reward of actual value to give with the episode, the first 3 maps with ascended trinkets were cool but they were getting a tad repetitive. One thing I’d always found amusing with obtaining prior 32 slot bags is that the cost of obtaining them is about the same (or more) then just buying an additional bag slot and shoving a 16 slot bag in it.
- Jalen Dmello
  
  I had to just check if i was playing gw2 when i saw that achieve haha
  A very convenient item with hardly any grind and cost nothing to make 0_0.
- Lockheart
  
  This is literally why I have max bag slots on my ranger.
BS

So a free 32 Slot Bag is a good thing…. what could possibly go wrong? No auto slaving. no auto dispose and not showing on vendors . Great exactly what i need
- Dylan Field
  
  Most of the items that sort to it (consumables and champion bags) aren’t vendorable anyway so it doesn’t really hurt, this behaving like an invisible bag. The few consumables that you CAN sell at a vendor are mostly ones you wouldn’t want to (unid items you either want to sell on the TP or open on a MF boosted chara for max profit, never salvage.). The no-vendor feature is really not an inconvenience.
  - Brett Leary
    
    It is when 20 something sigils that need to disappear go in there and I have to move them out to sell or delete them. It’s meant to be an equipment bag, not an invisible one.
    - RabbitUp
      
      Why is it not meant to be an invisible bag?
      
      Do you not have stuff in your inventory you don’t want to sell? All the weapons you don’t have equipped, other armour sets, food/util and other consumables, and stuff like toys, gizmos and tonics. Put all of them in the 32slot bag, and use your other bags for the stuff you want to salavage and sell.
theregicide

the artificial diamond from the 28 slot bag there are to few info about it .many players didnt get it even after doing the elementals
- the regicide
  
  i just got it Remember! it is RNG based
Alex Riedel

So what do I do if I deleted the bow?
- Burn Bicz, BURN
  
  Nothing, if you got it, it’s save in your collection
Ainseland

thanks to Rubik for providing the locations of the collection items!!
KiLLi4N

Artificial Diamond dropped for me as a final reward for doing the escort mission to Zohaqan. It’s RNG, I did this (and Stormcaller Echoes elementals) events a couple of time before I got it.
- Endless Soul
  
  RNG? Ok good to know because I did a lot of these events and it hasn’t dropped yet.
TJ

If I equip it now, and do the quest, will that item upgrade it self, or should I leave it in my invotory
- Pierro
  
  In order to complete the collection you need to give the bag to Efi so you cannot equip it.
  If you equip the bag you can start the collection but you can’t end it
  - Jacob Keller
    
    You should be able to keep the bag until you’ve done the rest of the collection tho..
    - Pierro
      
      yes, i used the bag but i had to take it off to complete the collection.
Mark Tyrone Chia

Do I have to do anything to trigger the last step, What Comes Next, for the full 32 slot bag?
Tried talking to Elfi but nothing happened.
Chemsik

For the 24 slot, I found you do not actually need to complete the Tales of Elona Achievement first, just choose the first option, and then talk again and choose the second option.
Void

Note: Can only be done on a character that has completed the LS4E2 story. Doing anything on other characters will result in not getting the drops or responses for the collections.
Dani Jo

i got the collection drops on a character that hasn’t completed ch4 ep2 story. maybe they changed it. but i started it on the one character that did the story
