Ok, so I use to make these random posts just for the entertainment value. One of my favorite activities aside from attending EM events is to visit rare museums. From my own experience, the trend/culture has changed some what. It use to be museums everywhere but nowadays, it's a mixture of public and private collections. To kick off the holiday spirit, here are the top collections that I know of using my selection criteria not in any particular order:

1. Minimum requirement collection worth >100 plat (changed this to make it a rounded number)
2. Quantity and Quality
3. Quality based on rarity i.e. Unique, 1 of 2 etc..
4. Quality based on desirability i.e. Light of The Fallen Virtue etc..
5. Server Births
6. High-End Rubble Pieces >100 Mil Per Piece

If you wish to be added please provide evidence-based data, i.e. contact me for visit or post it here.

I would nominate my "Feline-Themed" Collection, even if for now it is far from complete and I haven't yet created a Museum, so all the Items for now are still in my Bank Vault... :cool: :p;)


Meow those are some fine felines! They would be purrfect in a museum as long as you've got an 18x18 liter box located nearby. :thumbup1:

From my own experience, the trend/culture has changed some what. It use to be museums everywhere but nowadays, it's a mixture of public and private collections. To kick off the holiday spirit, here are the top 14 collections that I know of. My selection criteria are as follows:

1. Not in any particular order just top 14 largest collections that I know of.
2. If you feel this is not correct please prove it to me i.e. evidence-based data.
3. Minimum requirement collection worth >75 plat
4. Quantity and quality are both considered
5. Quality based on rarity i.e. unique, 1 of 2 etc..
6. Quality based on desirability i.e. Light of The Fallen Virtue etc..

Here we go:

1. Rosewood - Atlantic (Server birth, unique items, low count EM)
2. Souls - Atlantic (unique items, low count EM, quantity)
3. Nails - Atlantic (unique items, low count EM, server births, quantity)
4. BeerPwningTexan - Atlantic (unique items, low count EM, quantity)

If you're fortunate enough to see these collections, they are truly worth the time.

And still room for 1 more to go on the list :)

Thanks

Fun list indeed! I have seen some of these first hand. Stumbled into Rosewoods castle by mistake once doing a quest in that area and was blown away. BeerPwningTexan's Luna museum has the best use of color blending I've ever seen in UO (credit to Dixie) and is filled with very cool treasures. I've walked through both Archnight's and Pampa's Atlantic Luna houses many times as well, some of my favorites. Look forward to checking out all of these UO wonders and maybe one day in the future I hope to be on a list like this myself. ;)

Thanks for posting, Manticore.

Those are fantastic selections! I thoroughly enjoy viewing others' collections and seeing what appeals to others' tastes. I favor themed collections or collections that are framed within decorations/scenic.

All of my rare's are not on display in Toad Town just yet as I continue decorating the town but here is an itemized list of what I have thus far should it qualify? I am unsure of value of my collection as I have not price checked and updated value in a while.

Ooh I'll have to check that out! Location?
I apologize for not having that ready. There use to be a blue rune available on her Umbra house's porch that would take you to the bakery and the Cat Nip is on the third floor iirc. I just checked and its not there currently but I have no doubt she'll put it back up if you catch her in general chat if nobody else here knows off the top of their heads.

BeerPwningTexan's Luna museum has the best use of color blending I've ever seen in UO (credit to Dixie) and is filled with very cool treasures.

Thanks for posting, Manticore.
If you like his you should take a look at Les Strouds on GL. Just walk around Luna he has like 5 houses that have multiple floors all assorted by color.

Also Bacchus on Pacific would fit in this category for top 5 easily but sadly his house is open but no access and rares just thrown about in no specific order. But if he ever decided to set up shop, would be one of the best of old school rares for sure

Thanks for the heads up! Went to investigate and I concur, Les Stroud's places are dope! :thumbup1:

I remember Bacchus's collection, but as you said, he became more or less a hermit the past 15+ years so need to reconfirm before listing his place. Reminds me of Orc on GL and Anan and Mongbat.
[/QUOT
I can confirm, his castle is open to public but doors are locked, you can walk around with transparency on and see allot of server birth and seer items. I would compare his collection to what Orc had I guess.

I have the Cats Final Resting Place
The marble cat nip is in luna on Cats
I've seen the feral cat but can't remember where
The Mutated cat used to be on Izumo but that house fell or was taken down. I haven't seen it since
Peil had the kitty chamber of claws and the cat bed, but her house was taken down I heard so I don't know what happened to those two

This is a beautiful collection, it qualifies under quantity, and quality low count EM items but value wise it's close to 100 plat but not there yet. Keep collecting! I know it's on Pacific so once you've redecorated, would love to see it again.
