Each item has a “Wear” of 0/30, which is a similar but opposite concept to “Durability” in crafting. Each Appraisal skill you use to increase “Rarity” will also increase “Wear”, so there’s a limit to how many appraisals you can use. The skills that can increase “Rarity” of an item are called “ Appraisals”. Thus, items with higher rarity it will give slightly more scrips when handed to the "Collectables Appraiser" NPCs. “Rarity” of a gathered item is directly translated into the “Collectability” stats. The goal of this little game, is to use multiple skills that can increase the item’s “Rarity”, and then collect the item(s) before you run out of attempts. This will open up a new panel, which is the “Collectable Gathering Panel”. The only exceptions are when you can’t reach the item with 1 attempt, or if the item is at random slots, so you have no idea where it is, then Toil will be a valid thing to use.Īfter the item is reached, click on the item while “Collector’s Glove” is active. Instead of Toil, you should use 1 attempt to hit the slot directly to reach/uncover the item. Please see my old ARR Gathering Guide), because it burns away too many GP. If you’re NOT visiting a node for the first time, Toil is a very bad idea that will ruin your chances of getting any useful Collectables (much like how Toil was in ARR, which I highly discouraged. Gather all those different items for the first time so you don't have to use Sharp Vision III / Field Mastery III again next time. So you need to use Sharp Vision III / Field Mastery III to increase that by 50%, resulting in 75%. The items will all show up as hidden with 25% success rate.

If you’re visiting a node for the first time, feel free to use Toil (and DO NOT use Collector’s Gloves in this case). To do so, you can either hit the slot directly, or use Toil of the Mountaineer. You can activate or deactivate it any time at will.įirst, you have to uncover/reach the Unspoiled item. It’s a button that does not consume anything. Warning: HW Unspoiled Nodes only appear for 55 Eorzean minutes!Īfter engaging an Unspoiled Node, activate “Collector’s Glove”. A list of all regular unspoiled items in Heavensward. This can save you the trouble of many unnecessary teleportations. Both the list of items and the timer can be found there. You can then scroll down, and check the "Rowena's House of Splendors". If you're on a PC, press "Ctrl U" on your keyboard to open this panel. One does NOT always need to go to Mor Dhona or Idyllshire to check on what items are being requested from the Collectable Appraiser. The "Collectable Appraiser" at Mor Dhona or Idyllshire will give you a list of Collectables that can be exchanged for exp, Blue Scrips and Red Scrips. And after you have reached level 60, you will then be able to earn Red Scrips. After level 56, you can start earning Blue Scrips. Before level 56, you can only gain exp from turn-ins. Also, you need to be at least level 56 to earn scrips. Thus, Collectable items cannot be stacked, and each will consume 1 inventory space. Because of this nature, the same items can have different Collectability. Item with higher collectability can be exchanged for more scrips. Each Collectable item has a stats called “Collectability”. The major purpose of a Collectable is to be turned in (at Mor Dhona or Idyllshire) for Blue Gatherer's Scrips & Red Gatherer's Scrips, which are for buying all kinds of gatherer-specific items, like gear, Tomes of Regional Folklore, and Favors. In the world of gathering, “Collectables” are gathered Unspoiled items that cannot be sold on the marketboard nor used in crafting. Sorry Fishers, but you're not covered here. However, this guide only covers Miner & Botanist. So hopefully, this gathering guide will be as complete & comprehensive as possible for Heavensward end-game. On top of that, I will also cover the basic Unspoiled Nodes, Legendary Nodes (Folklore), Ephemeral Nodes (with Aetherial Reduction), as well as Favors. So I decided to write up this guide to help those who are in need. I have been searching the web for quite a bit, yet I have not seen any good comprehensive, step-by-step guide that teaches newbies like myself to play the “Collectables” end-game for Blue Scrips & Red Scrips.
