Junk item
This article is about the trophy items. For the information about Junk items are disposable trophies that mostly drop from slain enemies and have no utility other than being sold for coin at merchants. Junk items can be identified by grey colored text in the item's tooltip. They cannot be salvaged and will stack with themselves. All junk items are soulbound to the character upon pickup.
Some crafted bags, such as Oiled Packs, will fill with junk items before other items if possible.
Vendors with a Sell tab have a button in that tab to quickly sell all Junk that is stored in inventory bags that do not hide their contents.

Trivia[edit]
- Isaiah Cartwright, an ArenaNet employee, said that they decided to have junk items in Guild Wars 2 because they add some flavor to the game in that the junk items you get correspond to the the loot your foe dropped, giving you a sense of where you've been and what you've done.[1]
