Collectable

Collectables are items in Xenoblade Chronicles. They are spread all over the world in blue item orbs. Collectables can be offered to s to trade them for other items, including other collectables. The value of a collectable traded from an NPC is ten times higher than its sale value.

Each major area in the game has its own set of collectables with the exception of Memory Space. Collectables can be entered in the collectopaedia, but only once. Completing a row or an entire area's page rewards the player with an item (A, a piece of or a Gem). A few collectbales that are part of the Other Collectopaedia are not found in collection orbs, but must instead be traded from NPCs. Every collectable found on the Mechonis that would be unobtainable after certain plot points are reobtainable in Colony 6, require a certain Special level in the Colony 6 reconstruction. Obtaining these collectables through Colony 6 is also much more difficult. It is therefore wise to complete these collectopaedia pages as early as possible.

In the Definitive Edition, some collerctables can be obtained from the in exchange for.

Another use of collectables is gifting. Every gift increases or decreaes the between two characters by an amount that depends on the collectable and the receiving character.
