Collecting

Addawatte is full of collectibles that can be harvested and used to make potions or craft better gear. Collectibles work on a refresh timer, with the standard refresh time being 18 hours. Notably, there are lots and lots of things to collect, so the refresh timer is intended less as a daily grind and more to prevent endless over-collection. Some collectibles refresh slower, with the rarest, most difficult-to-find collectibles refreshing once a week or less.

A Changing Landscape

Some collectibles can only be collected under certain circumstances. Some only appear at night, some only appear during storms, and some require you to carry something special in your inventory, or have a special NPC follower joining you on your adventure. Certain regions have “Collectible Guides,” which outline these rules, and in general I intend to work to provide learnable information about the various collectibles in game.

By leveling up your collecting skill, or by wearing certain accessories, you can increase the XP gain from collecting, reduce the refresh time on certain items, and even have the chance to “double harvest”, meaning you get two collectibles in one pull.
