Collectible (XC2)

Collectibles are items in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country. They are randomly obtained after interacting with Collection Points spread across the world. Once dropped, they can be automatically collected by walking near or over them, and doing so causes the name of the acquired collectible to briefly appear on-screen. Collectibles can also be acquired by salvaging or dropped by monsters during objectives in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and as a random drop in Torna ~ The Golden Country.

The player's current list of colletibles can be seen in the menu under 'Item List', in the 'Collectibles' tab, represented with an icon resembling a 'C'.
