Preludes 14.5

Hark, the Collector

Intercept Inquisitor Mada's descending Collector ship. Clear Sinecure waves, defeat the Nimrod lieutenant, or detonate a Thunderstone in the animal cage to crash the vessel — large mixed loot pool on a 6-hour timer.

World EventHigh value

High-value world event on a ~6-hour loop — broad loot pool for fragments, mats, and currency between sieges.

How to Participate · Hark, the Collector (5 key steps)

Route A · Start

Accept from a Votives Shrine at any World Tree, or approach the active Collector descent in Midrath

Route B · Walkthrough

Steps

  1. Travel to the randomized spawn (map marker after pickup)
  2. Defeat waves of Sinecure protecting the descent
  3. Fight the Nimrod lieutenant OR place a Thunderstone in the nearby animal cage to destroy the ship
  4. Collect rewards when the Collector retreats or crashes
  • Spawn location rotates — check your map marker after pickup
  • Thunderstone in the cage skips the Nimrod fight but still grants loot
  • Collector Crate drops tie to this operation in the item catalog

Rotate with 3-hour sieges; verify exact weapon rolls in-game — catalog lists verified item slugs only.

  • Full weapon and armour tables on Avakot are larger than the representative slugs listed here
  • Also appears in-game as Operation: Hark, the Collector on many drop sources
