Expert Collections

With the addition of Echoes of Faydwer (and continued with later expansions and updates), Expert Collections have been added to the game that provide players with special, rare collection quests. These quests are accessible to characters in two ways. For adventurers, players can complete an Expert Recognition collection and gain an item that allows the character to see special blue harvest nodes (often called "shinies" or "glowies"). For tradeskillers, players can complete their artisan epic and equip the rewarded Earring of the Solstice, which allows them to see special red harvest nodes. Both blue and red harvest nodes would be otherwise invisible to players who had not completed these collections or quest.
