AL 15 (casters)/25 (ranger/assassin)/35 (warrior) set (Kinya Province):

Mask little bit north from Chen/Keiko, from Mi Fa. 3 Forgotten Trinket Boxes.

Chest from Guardsman Keiko in Kinya Province, the village south from Gardens. 3 Crimson Skull Copper Coins.

Gloves from Craw Razorbreak in middle of the Kinya coast, Tengu town of Aerie. 3 Naga Hides. Not available during Panaku's Assassin quest

Leggings from Shenzun in southern Kinya Province. 3 Augmented Flesh.

Shoes from Chen Po Chin, who is close to Guardsman Keiko. 3 Mantrid Pincers.

Mask of the AL15-35 isn't obviously worth the bother, as it has harder to get items (that drop in the first mission) than the AL35-55 mission which needs just the easy to get Copper Coins.



AL 35/45/55 set (Panjiang Peninsula/Jaya Bluffs):

Mask from just south from Tsumei Village in Paijang Peninsula, for 3 Crimson Skull Copper Coins. Might not be available during some quests in Panjiang

Chest from pretty much straight north from Seitung Harbor, near the coast, Morokam. 3 Stolen Supplies.

Gloves from Gruut Snowfoot east from Leggings collector. 3 Feathered Crests.

Leggings just bit north from Seitung Harbor, Rei Ming. 3 Crimson Skull Silver Coins.

Shoes from Seitung Harbor. Attendant Chien, 1 Oni Claw.

Mask is the only part that is available of AL35-55 set until you can access Seitung Harbor, where rest of this armor set is available at Jaya Bluffs. The best starter isle collector's armor is at Haiju Lagoon.



AL 45/55/65 set (Haiju Lagoon) (Thanks to Sofonisba for tipping the locations for Haiju collectors):

Head from Miriko SE from Linkei Township (near the merchants). 3 Enchanted Vines.

Chest from Guardsman Kikuchiyo, bit south from Miriko (hat collector). 2 Gold Crimson Skull Coins.

Gloves are little south from the Crimson Skull camp, east from Linkei. 3 Naga Pelts.

Leggings close by the entrance to Haiju from Jaya. 3 Elder Kappa Shells.

Shoes at west coast of the lagoon. 2 Bonesnap Shells



Max AL collectors at the city:

Headpiece from Kyuzo, whom resides at the 'town square' SE from Kaineng Center. 5 Venerable Mantis Pincers.

Chest from Magistrate Wakai, just outside Marketplace. 5 Jade Bracelets.

Hands from Lintao in Bazaar, bit NW from Undercity entrance. 5 Putrid Cysts. 5 Plague Idols.

Leggings from Magistrate Raisung, west from Marketplace in Bukdek Byway, close to Skyway entrance.

Feet from Jingpao in Bazaar, upper part, close to Skyway entrance. 5 Venerable Mantis Pincers. (Yes, again.)

Hey Kaguya, I actually did make a post (no screenshots) describing items and locations for the highest armor you can get from collectors on Shing Jea Island.

My bad! I think I was a little bit confused... I think Assassins are Ranger-class armor; 45 would be right for Tsumei for Ranger/Assassin, and it would be 35 for casters.

All the max-on-the-island pieces are found in Haiju Lagoon.

Lower level armor list is now complete, I'll compose a map showing the location of them all in one, I'll add Sofonisba's findings on another map later on.

edit: medium level armor is now complete as well. Anyone know where to find an Oni at Jaya Bluffs?

Mainland collectors give out the 'Canthan'-brand, so there's no 'collector' skin available.

OMG! Thank you. My necro is in love with you. I'm not buying armor for her until I get to somewhere that I like the armor skin. Now she doesn't ahve to run around with the awesome over-poweredness of AL...5.

I'm guessing they have your Mantis Penciers. The mission is SouthWest of Marketplace for anyone that doesn't have it yet.

(For the mainland collectors) Just outside Nahpui Quarter (second mission, south of Marketplace) are a bunch of Mantis Monitors and Mantis Drones, I farmed them for 10 Venerable Mantis Pincers. Tough stuff to solo, Monitors heal and Drones remove enhancements. Did some ~10 runs with 3 henchies to get them all.

Ah, thank you kindly. Looks like a job for my ele to farm them for my necro, who sadly is lvl 11 and -60ed by the time she reaches the collector to get her goodies. Through a bit of perseverance (read: stubbornness), she has a new shirt and new gloves. (edit: Magistrate with the leggings was very easy to get to, no dp and new legging now too! )

Does all the Collectors armors look the same despite the armor level and where you get it?

This thread is deserving of sticky status. It's very helpful, although the title needs updating now that it includes the mainland max AL collectors.

Collector armor at Shing Jea island looks like the Shing Jea set (the one players start with)

Mainland collector armor is Canthan set (and looks like the Canthan set available from crafters)

I actually changed the topic quite a while ago, but it doesn't apply to the topic listed on the forum. I tried PM'ing a mod earlier about it but didn't get a reply

Great work, it should be stickied, and also a mod could change the title to indicate that ALL collectors armor locations are listed here.

ARMOR Looks for the most are the basic Canthan like the warrior it would be almost exactly like The :
Warrior's Canthan Helm = armor 80 & Armor +20 (vs physical attacks)

Warrior's Canthan Cuirass = armor 80 & armor +20 (vs physical attacks)

and the same for the rest with no bonus to energy or reduction to Damage in a stance or while Hexed just plane simple +80/+20.
The collector armor is good for placeing High end Runes on and then you can switch from a Curiass with a +3 to Swords to A curiass With a +3 to Hammer
depending what you come up against. Also I always keep one with no Rune on
to switch out the +3 Rune Curiass with the -75 hit points to gain that 75 point back when you need just that last few seconds to win the mission.

Hope this helps someone It's saved my tail a number of times.
Especially you runners that are 15 feet from the next town when you run out of Hit points and that rune less Curiass could have given you the 75 points back and still have the armor on to have made the trip a success.

It's a shame that the Kaineng collectors do not offer +1 attribute versions of the headgear like the collectors in Tyria do.

Does anyone have a spare map to post up on this thread? I see the other link but the site sometimes has problems with my computer and won't pull it up.

Apparently someone still needed these, I re-uploaded the maps since I lost my previous webhost few weeks back, and fixed that bit of false information that was in one of the maps too while I was at it.
