In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, some NPCs offer Collectopaedia Cards. These aren’t collectibles, but are some sort of quests that require a few items – often referred to as fetch quests. If completed, players can redeem a variety of different rewards.

In this guide, we’ll be looking at everything there is to know about Collectopaedia Cards in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

What Are Collectopaedia Cards And How Do They Work?

Collectopaedia Cards are simple quests that, as the name implies, require you to collect a few items to complete.

Each Collectopaedia Card will require a different type of item for it to be completed, often ranging from different types of wood/flowers to rare gems.

The items that are required to complete a Collectopaedia Card are simple to get. They can either be collected as drops from certain enemies, or by foraging for them in certain areas of the world. The

Once you collect the items required by the Collectopaedia Cards, all you have to do is head over to the Quests tab and select the particular card. There would be a sort of sack icon beside it indicating that you have the items required in store. Hold A to Register the required items and your quest would be completed.

The best part is that you don’t even have to go back to the Quest giver to complete the quest. It can be done anywhere in the world through the Quest tab in the menu.

Additionally, you can also take on a particular quest/Collectopaedia Card repeatedly. This can prove to be useful if you’re looking to gain the rewards of a particular Collectopaedia Card again and again, but do note that the magnitude of the rewards gained become lesser and lesser as you continue to complete them.
