'''The Collector''' is a repeatable multi-part quest given by '''Elwood''', an eccentric collector who hangs out at a tavern in Haven. Elwood needs you to gather a series of collectibles for him — rainbow pearls, a portrait painting, an autographed piece of sheet music, and a set of enchanted toy figurines. The quest takes you across multiple cities and introduces you to several colorful NPCs, each with their own personality and requirements.

Unlike most tutorial quests, this quest '''can be repeated''' immediately after completion.

== Overview ==

Elwood is a rambling, absent-minded collector who can never quite remember if he knows you or not, but he's certain you're the right person to help him stock his collection. The quest has four major phases, each building on the last, and sends you to Haven, Vesper, Britain, and Trinsic. The final phase involves tracking down specific creatures in the wild using enchanted paints to capture their images.

== Getting Started ==

Locate '''Elwood''' at a tavern in Haven. Speak with him to receive the quest offer. He'll greet you like an old friend he's not sure he ever had and ask you to help supplement his collection for the usual fee.

== Quest Walkthrough ==

=== Phase 1: Rainbow Pearls ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! style="width:150px;" | Objective || Fish up shellfish from '''Lake Haven''' and collect '''6 Rainbow Pearls'''
|}

Elwood explains that the magic Uzeraan used to transform Haven island had an unusual effect on the shellfish in the lake, producing rainbow pearls — useless for magic but perfect for a collector. Head to Lake Haven with a fishing pole and start fishing. Rainbow pearls are obtained as a rare catch from the shellfish in the lake.

Your quest log tracks your progress (e.g. "Rainbow pearls collected: 3 / 6"). Once you have all 6, return to Elwood.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Objective || Return to Elwood and give him the rainbow pearls
|}

Elwood is delighted with the pearls and sends you on the next task.

=== Phase 2: Portrait Painting ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! style="width:150px;" | Objective || Go to '''Vesper''' and speak to '''Alberta Giacco''' at the Colored Canvas
|}

Elwood wants a portrait painting of you for his collection — he figures you might become famous someday. Travel to Vesper and find Alberta Giacco at the Colored Canvas, a painter's studio.

Alberta agrees to paint your portrait and asks you to sit on the stool in front of her easel.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Objective || Sit on the stool in front of Alberta's easel for approximately '''30 seconds'''
|}

Walk to the stool (located at a specific spot inside the studio) and stand on it. You must remain perfectly still on the stool for about 30 seconds while Alberta paints. If you move off the stool before the timer completes, she has to start over with a fresh canvas and you'll see the message: ''"You must remain seated on the stool until the portrait is complete."''

Once the 30 seconds pass, Alberta finishes the painting and sets it aside to dry. She'll have it delivered to Elwood directly.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Objective || Return to '''Elwood''' and let him know the painting is complete
|}

Travel back to Haven and speak to Elwood. He's pleased to hear the portrait is done and moves on to the next task.

=== Phase 3: Gabriel Piete's Autograph ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! style="width:150px;" | Objective || Go to '''Britain''' and obtain the autograph of '''Gabriel Piete''' at the Conservatory of Music
|}

Elwood wants the autograph of his favorite minstrel, Gabriel Piete. Travel to Britain and find Gabriel at the Conservatory of Music.

Gabriel is not pleased to see you. He's busy and irritable, but agrees to sign an autograph — on one condition: he'll only sign a piece of '''sheet music''' for one of his songs. He tells you to find some at one of the theaters where he's recently performed.

==== Finding Sheet Music ====

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Objective || Find sheet music for one of Gabriel's songs by speaking to a theater '''impresario'''
|}

Gabriel's last three performances were in '''Britain''', '''Nujel'm''', and '''Jhelom'''. The quest randomly selects one of these three cities as the location where sheet music is available. You must visit the correct theater and speak to the impresario (theater manager) there. If you visit the wrong theater, the impresario will tell you they've run out of sheet music — try a different city.

Once you find the right impresario, they hand you the sheet music.

==== Getting the Autograph ====

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Objective || Return to '''Gabriel Piete''' with the sheet music so he can autograph it
|}

Bring the sheet music back to Gabriel. He signs it impatiently and hands it back to you.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Objective || Return to '''Elwood''' with the autographed sheet music
|}

Deliver the signed sheet music to Elwood. He's thrilled and moves on to the final task.

=== Phase 4: Toy Monster Figurines ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! style="width:150px;" | Objective || Go to '''Trinsic''' and speak to '''Tomas O'Neerlan''', the famous toymaker
|}

Elwood's last request is for a set of toy monster figurines crafted by the renowned toymaker Tomas O'Neerlan. Travel to Trinsic and find Tomas, who is often at the Tinker's Guild.

Tomas agrees to make the figurines but needs your help first. He gives you a set of '''enchanted paints''' that can capture the image of a creature. The paints only work on the specific creatures Tomas selects for your set.

==== Capturing Creature Images ====

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Objective || Use the enchanted paints to capture the image of '''4 specific creatures'''
|}

Tomas randomly selects 4 creature types for your figurine set. Your quest log lists all four creatures along with their capture status (Done / Not Done). You must find each creature type in the wild and use the enchanted paints on them to capture their image.

When using the paints on a creature, one of three responses will occur:

* '''Valid''' — The image is captured successfully. That creature is marked as Done in your quest log.
* '''Already Done''' — You've already captured this creature type.
* '''Invalid''' — This creature isn't one of the four types on your list.

Once all 4 images are captured, return to Tomas.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Objective || Return to '''Tomas O'Neerlan''' with the complete set of creature images
|}

Tomas takes the images and the enchanted paints back. He'll begin making the figurines immediately and will have them delivered to Elwood in Haven when they're ready.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Objective || Return to '''Elwood''' with news that the toy figurines will be delivered when ready
|}

Return to Elwood one final time. He's pleased that the figurines are on their way and concludes your business.

== Rewards ==

Elwood hands you a reward bag upon completing the quest. Make sure you have room in your backpack — if it's too full, Elwood will notice and ask you to come back when you've made some space.

{{Note|This quest is '''repeatable''' with no cooldown. You can accept it again from Elwood immediately after completing it.}}

== Tips ==

* '''Phase 1 — Bring a fishing pole.''' You need to fish up rainbow pearls from Lake Haven. Make sure you have a fishing pole before heading to the lake.
* '''Phase 2 — Don't move.''' When sitting on Alberta's stool, you must stand perfectly still for 30 seconds. Any movement resets the timer and she starts over.
* '''Phase 3 — Try all three theaters.''' The correct theater is randomized between Britain, Nujel'm, and Jhelom. If the impresario says they're out of stock, try the next city.
* '''Phase 4 — Check your quest log.''' The four creature types are listed in your quest objectives with Done/Not Done status. Only the specific creatures on your list will produce valid captures.
* '''Make backpack space''' before the final turn-in. If your pack is too full to hold the reward, Elwood will send you away until you free up room.
