[[image:yellow shiny.gif|border|right|a typical yellow collection shiny]] '''Collection Quests''' involve the gathering of several different items (called ''collectibles'') of a similar type. These items are found by collecting '''shinies''' or '''glowies''' that typically appear as '''"?"''' marks found scattered randomly on the ground (similar to the image to the right). Completed collections must be brought to a [[:Category: Collector (NPC Type)|Collector]] to receive the Reward. Most collectible pieces may also be bought and sold freely on the [[broker]]. ==Tome Collections== [[Image:Fluttering page.gif|border|right|a typical tome page lying on the ground]] [[:Category: Tome (CQ Category)|Tome Collections]] are a special type of collection quest comprised of harvestable pages which are found either as a '''"!"''' mark on the ground in most zones (unlike shinies, these nodes appear as a fluttering page instead of a shining point of light), or by clicking on various objects in a zone (e.g. rocks, pillars, bones, etc). Also unlike collection quests, some pages are flagged as '''NO-TRADE''' and therefore must be gathered by the character wishing to complete the quest. Note: For the few collections that have 1 page as a monster drop, these WILL drop off gray mobs. ==Expert Collections== The collections of this type are rare and therefore extremely valuable. Each collected shiny is lore and can not be mailed, but they can be passed via the [[Bank|shared bank]], passed to other players using the trade window, and sold or purchased by anyone using the [[Broker|broker]]. The expert collections are often referred to by the color of shiny glow one sees if they have the gained the gear used to see them out in the world. ===Blue "Shiny"=== With the addition of [[Echoes of Faydwer]] (and continued with later expansions and updates), Expert Collections have been added to the game that provide players with special, rare collection quests. These quests are accessible to characters in two ways. For adventurers, players can complete an [[:Category: Expert Recognition (CQ Category)|Expert Recognition]] collection and gain an item that allows the character to see special blue collectibles that still use the '''"?"''' symbol. Adventurers can also complete [[Relics of the Goblin Hero]] to gain access to a third blue harvest node collection in [[Runnyeye: The Gathering]]. Only those who complete expert collections can see the rare blue shinies out in the world and pick them up. ===Red "Shiny"=== Players who take up a [[Tradeskill|tradeskill]] can complete their [[Artisan Epic Timeline|artisan epic timeline]] and equip the rewarded [[Earring of the Solstice]], which allows them to see special red collectibles with the '''"?"'''. Only those who complete the tradeskill epic to get the special earring can see red shinies and pick them up. ==Aerial Collections== [[File:Sky Shiny3.gif|right|aerial shiny]] SOE introduced aerial shinies which are not ground spawns but little clouds in the air where you collect the shiny by flying through the cloud. Unlike other shinies, they are NOT able to be tracked using the [[Tradeskill Prestige]] ability 'Seasoned Harvesting'. Aerial shinies are only available in some zones, e.g., [[Obol Plains]], [[Cobalt Scar]], [[Vesspyr Isles]], [[The Withered Lands]]. ==Event Collections== [[File:Purple shiny.gif|right]] City festivals and special events may also have collectibles which are purple. During [[City Festival]] the collectibles appear anywhere within the city as well as on the festival grounds. They are often seen during live events such as the release of [[The Shadow Odyssey]] in the [[Sinking Sands]] or during [[Tinkerfest]]. These nodes are often only available during the event although many of the events cycle ([[City Festival]], [[Tinkerfest]]). Most live event collectible pieces may also be bought and sold freely on the [[broker]]. The exception to the disappearing rule are the purple nodes in the [[Sinking Sands]] as completing [[Tinkering with Toggery]] provides you with a helm that can also be used to see them. ==Guide Collections== Guide collections are harvest nodes handed out by members of the [[Guides of the Shattered Lands]] and can be sold on the broker. The rewards for completing these collections are the player's choice in color for two appearance armor sets; one a bright pink and the other a deep blue. ==See also== *[[:Category: Tome (CQ Category)]] *[[:Category: Collector (NPC Type)|Collector (NPC Type)]] *[[:Collection Quests Timeline]] *[[:Category: Collection Quest Rewards]] Loading editor Collection Quests User Guides screenshots General: {{ss-g}} · NPC: {{ss-n}} · monster: {{ss-m}} examines general/unknown: {{ss-e}} · equipment: {{ss-ee}} · item: {{ss-ei}} · spell/aa: {{ss-es}} visuals placed house item: {{ss-h}} · worn weapon/armor: {{ss-a}} other {{update}} · {{soga}} Quests: {{Quest||}} Zones: {{Zone||}} · {{Instance||}} · {{POI|}} · Mobs: {{Monster||}} · {{Named||}} · {{NPC||}} Items: {{Equip|}} · {{Item|}} Misc: {{Spell|||}} · {{Loc||||uid=}} · {{Faction||amount|Quest}} · {{Coin||||||}} Wiki Basics: [] · [[]] · {{}} · – — · Characters: “” ‘’ «» ‹› „“ ‚‘ · ~ | ° · · × ² ³ ½ € † Common Wikicode: [[Category:]] · [[Image:]] · #REDIRECT[[]] {{disambig}} {{dab|}} Obtain Templates: {{QuestReward|questName|zoneName}} · {{CQuestReward|questName}} · {{DroppedItem|mobName|altMobName|zoneName|chestType}} · {{CraftedItem|artisanClass|artisanLevel|recipeBook}} · {{VendorItem|vendorType|vendorName|vendorZone}} · {{LoNLoot}} Attention Needed: {{stub}} · {{wikify}} · {{AdminNeeded|}} · {{delete|}} {{disambig}} · {{RfG|}} Errors: {{CapCheck|}} · {{CapOK|}} · {{FactCheck|}} · {{FactOK|}} {{RoK}} · {{LU}} · {{LU|LU}} Credits: {{zam|zoneid=|questid=|mobid=|itemid=|info=}} · {{SOEforums|author=|thread=}} · {{Athen}} · {{LootDB|URL}} · {{MIC|URL|what_we_took}} · {{UserCredit||toonName|guildName|serverName}} · {{Eq2u|itemid=|info=}} Wikicode: · · · TOC and EDIT: __TOC__ · __NOTOC__ · __FORECETOC__ · __NOEDITSECTION__ Flow Control: {{#if: + · {{#ifeq: + · {{#ifexist: + · {{#switch: cond|value=output|default}} · This field is a spam trap.
