Figure out which slot your item is in, and once it’s revealed MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR COLLECTOR’S GLOVE BUFF ACTIVE then try to gather it. Now how do you get collectability? It’s a fun minigame of its own! So you approach your 12 am/pm node (for yellow copper ore) and it has 8 (?) slots. This means you’ll get nothing for yellow copper ore with less than 240 collectability, the base 60k exp for each ore between 240-399, 66k for each between 400-449, and 72k for each ore over 450. Note: Since you can turn collectable items into non-collectable items, level 0 items can sometimes be used for crafting!Īs an example, the level 50 requested item is usually Yellow Copper Ore with a minimum of 240 collectability. Levels 1, 2, and 3 give a different amount of experience and Scrips based on how much collectability you generated. If you don’t make it up to the minimum amount of collectability, the item is completely useless cannot be turned in (level 0). An item can either be level 0, 1, 2, or 3 based on how much collectability it has. Unlike other turn-ins that ask for an item and give 2x exp for HQ, or turn-ins that ONLY take HQ, this time there are tiers of turn-ins. So how do they work? Basically you look at your timers menu and rowena tells you what she’s looking for. If you do leves between hitting collectable nodes, you can level very quickly! Collectable nodes can net you an insane amount of exp in a short amount of time. First off: You don’t need hours of mindless grinding or a billion leve allowances to level anymore. The entire collectable system for gatherers is the best ever. For gatherers they purchase tokens which unlock the ability to see the new 1 star nodes in certain zones.ģ) You can start earning Blue Scrips at level 56 on each class. Scrips buy you a set of decent entry level gear, some special mats/temporary buff items, and most importantly: Your master books. I’m happy to give more details if you have follow-up questions :D.ġ) They serve as a convenient new way to get experience.Ģ) They are the new turn-in system (replacing stuff like gather 99 HQ umbral rocks or craft 3 HQ Calibrated Rose Gold Cogs) for getting Scrips. I’ve done a fair amount of both (miner and gsm), so I’ll try to give a decent explanation of both. Question: What are collectables? How do they work?Ĭollectables are an awesome new spin on the turn-in system for both crafters and gatherers.
