Heart of Thorns elite specialization collections

• Most of these items do not require that you perform the action on a character of the corresponding profession. The exceptions are the stealth gliding trophy and the map completion chest.
• Random drops and vendor items will only be available after the corresponding collection has been unlocked.
• If more than one available item can drop from the same source (e.g. Treasure Mushroom spores), only one will drop at a time, selected at random.
• Trading post valuations current as of 2025-10-01.

There are a few anomalies in how the items are ordered in-game. I have corrected these anomalies here so that the table makes sense.

• Herald has the adventure chest and stealth gliding trophy swapped
• Chronomancer has the central Tyria drop and renown heart accessory swapped, as well as the HoM drop and inscription swapped

Total costs of vendor items

While the Mystic weapons are not purchased directly, I am including two of the ingredients here (Eldritch Scroll and Mystic Coins). I am not including the cost of the T6 crafting components for the Mystic/Machined weapons.

Two weapon types are shared between specializations. Thus, only 7 different Mystic weapons and 7 Machined weapons are required.

• Shield: Herald and Chronomancer
• Staff: Druid and Daredevil
