Collecting

Anyone who has a spare computer laying around should try collecting! It's generally a good way to earn penya, but there are some tips and tricks you must know if don't want to waste your time.

1) Getting a collector.

• Do not buy a collector unless it is a +5 (Or you plan on upgrading it to a +5).
• A collector+5 generally goes for about 45M on Lawolf.
• A collector+0 generally goes for about <1M on Lawolf.
• A collector+0 takes 1 minute 45 seconds to get one piece from the ground.
• A collector+5 takes 30 seconds to get one piece from the ground.
• Collectors can be upgraded to +5 without breaking (that is, you may not upgrade it sucessfully, but you certainly won't break it).

*Note: It will take many, many moonstones to upgrade it fully. Be prepared!

2) How to collect?

• Go to any collecting area (located near towns. You may have to search a little).
• Equip your collector.
• Put a battery in your collector (can be purchased from [Collector] Collins next to collecting area, or CS batteries from other players or CS shop).
• Start collecting!

3) What can I get?

You can get a number of different pieces* from collecting, such as:

• Any 2%, 4%, or 7% card pieces
• upgrade gems pieces (Topaz, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond)
• Sunstone and Moonstone pieces
• Pills (Blue, Grey, Yellow, Red, Gold)
• Cloud Box pieces (Cloud box has a chance to contain a Lucky Cloud!)

You can trade in your pieces to [Collector] Collins.

* 10 pieces can be traded for 1 whole item.

4) Is it really worth it?

Yes! While some pieces are EXTREMELY rare, like the Volcano and Lightning 7% pieces, they're worth 10M and 110M on Lawolf. I usually collect when my shop character doesn't have anything to sell, and there's no events going on, but I've used 2 silver batteries so far: 

• I got a silver battery from an event which netted me a profit of about 130M after collecting.
• My second silver battery (which I purchased for 40M) netted me about 280M.

The NPC batteries last 30 minutes (game time), while the silver (10 days) and gold (20 days) last in real time.

I don't think collecting is worth it without the +5 collector. But if you can invest a little money, you'll surely get some good returns.
