How Hark the Collector Works in Soulframe

Quick Answer:

• Hark the Collector is a repeatable world operation with a ~6-hour cooldown (community catalog) — not a 30-minute Agari respawn.
• Pick it up at a World Tree Votive Shrine, clear the Sinecure waves, then fight the Nimrod lieutenant or place a Thunderstone to crash the ship.
• Bring lightning resist (Cloudquell) and 6-8 free weapon slots before starting.

Hark the Collector — event mechanics and rewards

Hark the Collector is a repeatable world operation (~6-hour cooldown per community catalog) — not a 30-minute Agari respawn. Pick it up at a World Tree Votive Shrine or encounter the Collector descent in the overworld.

What to expect

• In-game title: Operation: Hark, the Collector — Inquisitor Mada's ship descends (fog/lightning on the map).
• Clear Sinecure waves protecting the landing, then either fight the Nimrod lieutenant or place a Thunderstone in the animal cage to crash the ship (both routes grant loot per community reports — verify in your client).
• Collector Crates during the event can add extra drops — see linked item pages.

Pre-event preparation

• Lightning resistance: Bring Cloudquell or equivalent consumables. Hark's ship deployment deals AoE lightning damage in the landing zone.
• Inventory space: Clear at least 6–8 weapon slots before the event. Collector Crates and boss drops fill inventory quickly.
• Graces: Grab an Omen Beast Grace before the event starts — damage Graces reduce wave-clear time significantly.

Drops (catalog-verified slugs)

Representative rewards: Sappheline, Moranite, Lampyrite, Dewelion fragments, Regalia of Rood, Dracs. Full manifest may be larger on community catalog — we only list slugs checked in catalog.json.

vs Discharged Nimrod Agari

The southeast Discharged Nimrod Agari (30-min respawn, Cogah rune farm) is a separate farm node. Hark's Nimrod appears only during this operation and drops the Hark-specific loot table, not the standard Nimrod Agari pool.

Scheduling Hark between sieges

Hark's ~6-hour cooldown fits between the ~3-hour siege cycles:

1. Queue for Mirifuir Siege.
2. After siege clear, check World Tree Votives for Hark availability.
3. Run Hark if available (fits in the 3-hour window before the next siege).
4. Use the downtime for Dermak Undercity container loops.

Fight tips

• Bring Cloudquell or lightning resist consumables.
• Burst during heal windows; avoid dragging patrols into the landing zone.
• Slot Hark between 3-hour siege timers — use the Agari Timer for regular Agari, not for this 6-hour event.
• If you choose the Thunderstone route, place it quickly after clearing the Sinecure waves — the landing zone will fill with reinforcements if you delay.
