Main Quest: The Collector's Path (level 16)
Tasks:
• Collections Collection
(level 16)
"To check your available collections open the Collection's tab in the Mayor's House. They will become available progressively as your level increases."
• Open the "Collections" tab.
"You've found it! Amazing!!"
The Mayor has a new tab, "Military" has gone and "Collections" has arrived. When clicked on the map the Collectibles go straight to the Mayor. "Collections" can only be found by clicking the Mayor, using the hotkey "h", or clicking the Resource portion of the top bar on-screen. Storehouses, regular and Improved, do not have the tab. Military info can still be found by mousing over the small Settler head in the top bar on-screen.
Reward: 1 Scarecrow - 1 Herbs
The number you own of a certain item and the cost to make a specific buff are shown as: owned/cost
The different background colours on the items in the Mayor indicate rarity, Brown is common, Green is less common, and Blue is rare.

• Collecting On-Map Items
(Quest completed "The Collections Collection")
"Collecting the items on the map is no easy task! It will require your full attention as they are very easy to miss. For starters, gather 6 [sic] Scarecrows and 12 Herbs. If you don't see them all on the map immediately don't worry - they re-appear a few times a day."
• Own at least 10 Scarecrows. (The quest text is incorrect, you do need 10.)
• Own at least 12 Herbs.
"How fortuitous!"
Each icon you find and click randomly gives 1 or a few of the item.
Old Collectibles disappear from Home Islands every 8 to 10 hours when a new set arrives, the timing can vary with each reset and from player to player.
Reward: 30
•••
• Complete a Collection
(Quest completed Collecting On-Map Items")
"Complete the "Country Saying" collection by gathering all the required ingredients! Why are you still reading this? Get going!"
• Produce at least one "Country Saying" at the Mayor's House and use on one of your Fields.
"At long last! It is completed!"
When the Wheat refill is complete it will be found in the Resources tab of the Star menu like other refills, the rest of the Collections buffs appear in the Buffs tab.
Reward: 10 - 6 Scarecrows - 12 Herbs
Like orders in the Bookbinder buffs must be "Picked Up" when complete and they cannot be queued. When the building is upgrading buff production pauses though Settlers continue to arrive so long as there is room for them.
Upgrading the Mayor's House and buffs to speed population growth do not decrease production time.
•••
• Adventure Time
(level 26 - Quest completed "Complete a Collection")
"Collect a Bronze Cauldron from an adventure map. It can only be found on adventure maps you visit and will not reappear on that adventure once you have collected it. Best of luck!"
• Own at least one Bronze Cauldron.
"You're quite the explorer!"
The quest can be completed simply by "owning" 1 Bronze Cauldron whether found on an Adventure, purchased in Trade or borrowed for just a minute.
Adventures: There is a chance of a Bronze Cauldron (and Adamantium Ore) from any standard Adventure, but only a chance, it is not guaranteed they will appear, if there is at least one Collectible to find "Collect All" will be in the Quest Book when you visit. Event Adventures are a bit of a wild card, it's uncertain whether they all have them. When you find and click one the Adventure Collectibles are delivered immediately in separate "Adventures Shipment" mail that can be claimed on the Home Island and added from the Star to the Mayor like regular loot. You do not need to send troops or complete the Adventure to find Cauldrons, if they are there you can cancel the Adventure when they've all been collected, they will not respawn.
In a multiple player Adv everyone who has joined the Adventure when a player clicks a Collectible should find a shipment mail at home, if a player joins an Adventure after a Collectible has been collected they will not get that one. The invitation must be accepted to count, simply 'invited' isn't enough so make sure everyone has actually joined before collecting.
NOTE: As of March 2014 the delivery process has been changed some on the Test server, Adventures must be completed before the mail with collectibles arrives. It is likely this will go live on the regular servers before too long.
Note: Premium does not give extra Adventure Collectibles.
Reward: 30 - 50
Quest Chain Reward: 60

•"Collect All"•
A heading called holds the recurring quest to:
• Collect All
"The scouts have reported that the collectible items have reappeared on our island. You should go and check them out for yourself."
• Collect all the collectibles on the map.
"Great! You found all the collectibles! We'll have to keep an eye out for when they reappear next!"
There are no rewards for this quest, it's there just to show how many Collectibles are hiding on your Island, it resets every 8 to 10 hours when a new set of Collectibles arrives and the number of items to find can change with each reset. Use it as a guide or ignore it completely, even if you only ever click the items you stumble across they'll add up quickly.
Adventures: "Collect All" will also appear on Adventures if there is at least one Collectible to be found and Collectibles once collected do not respawn on Adventures. Remember, any standard Adv can have them but not every Adv will.
