    Seriously though whatever it is you end up collecting I hope that you don't just purchased them like most people do. When it comes to collecting something there's no greater satisfaction in obtaining it yourself.

    I can't suggest much more than what has already been discussed. I will say that it took me about two years to complete my alchemy collection. I'd have to check my logs, but I think I found roughly 40-50% and bought the rest.

    Having said that, go after whatever would accent your existing deco. I see you already have some mugs, for example.

    A great collection is all the different items in ingot hues. This can be done in stages, and can get very extensive.

    Start small with all amib chests, anvils, mining gloves.

    Then more difficult being runebook dyed each hue, ore mask dyes, ore golem statuettes and sandals.

    Then really up your game with one of each runic hammer, defensive robes and cloaks, dyed masks in each hue.

    An idea that can keep getting added onto, but totally achievable.

    Some reflections.

    1. The peaceful pink fisher Kirby collects bones while ordering them in a ritualistic manner, revealing a worrying morbid trait of said fisher.

    2. "While it was great that I had finally completed my collection, I found myself wondering what to do now."
    Doth thou not know? Ecclesiastes 1:14: "I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind." Your mission is vain Kirby, accept it and despair! Let me also quote the fine old English of the King James version: "I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit." Vexation of spirit, just taste that word, vexation. Kirby you're deep in vexation!!

    3. "I loved the thrill of the hunt. Scouring [...the Britannian lands?] the forums [oh wait what, the FORUMS!?] every day waiting for someone to post up a bone container for sale was so much fun."
    So this is the secrets to Kirby's fishing? Having transcended in-game interaction Kirby now fishes trades on the forums. I ought to change my vote for favourite BODer from @shad to you!

    Speaking of Ecclesiastes, remember: there's an appointed time for everything. ;)

    Oh crap, Eccl 3 of course! A time to gather rocks and a time to throw them away! Then, maybe, what @Kirby ought to do now is throw the bone containers away!

    And from the time I was only six years old
    I never forgot what I was told
    It was the best advice I ever had
    It came from my wise and dear old dad

    He said, "Sit down, punk, I wanna talk to you.
    And don't say a word until I'm through.
    Now there's a time to laugh, a time to cry.
    A time to live and a time to die.
    A time to break and a time to chill.
    To act civilized or act real ill.
    But whatever you do in your lifetime
    You never let an MC steal your rhyme.

    ... I wonder how many times that rhyme has been stolen.

    I make gold in game, then use the gold to buy things on the forums. TBH, I don't even know where bone containers come from.
