Collector Quest
The Adventurer's Handbook
Your collection is the dungeon. Track what you own, hunt what you want, and your pixel adventurer levels up, opens chests, and gears up along the way.
✦ The Legend ✦
The Legend of the Scattered Vault
Long ago, every treasure in the world rested in one place: the Great Vault, tended by the Order of Collectors. Every figure stood posed in its case, every card slept in its sleeve, every list was complete. Then came the Scattering — a calamity no chronicle fully explains — and the Vault burst across the world. Grails landed in attics and flea markets, sealed wonders sank into forgotten warehouses, and the Great Lists themselves were torn to fragments.
Worse things crawled out of the wreckage. Dust Bunnies breed in neglected shelves. Entropy Moths gnaw mint corners soft. Bootleg Mimics wear the faces of treasures they could never be, and Scalper Wraiths haunt every restock, hoarding what they'll never love. Above them all coils the Backlog Dragon, fat on unopened boxes, growing with every purchase left sealed in shame.
You are a Collector — one of the Order's new adventurers. Every item you track returns a fragment to the Lists. Every bounty you claim pulls a grail out of the dark. Every checklist you complete drives the creatures back a little further. The Vault will never be one place again… but shelf by shelf, case by case, collectors like you are rebuilding it everywhere.
The Order needs collectors.

Combat
⚔️ PvE — The Hunt Board
Six creatures prowl your shelves each day; you have the strength for three hunts. Read the monster's tell, pick a stance (Aggressive beats Lucky beats Guarded beats Aggressive — winning the wheel makes your opening blows ~30% harder), then fight turn by turn: Attack, cast your class spell (Case Slam, Deadeye Shot, Grail Fire, Shadowstrike, Rally Song — 2 MP per battle), drink a Curator's Tonic to heal half, or Guard to halve the next hit. Scalper Wraiths also ambush ~1 in 5 bounty claims. Losing never costs you anything.
🛡️ PvP — Showdowns coming soon
Duel other collectors' adventurers: gear stats + dice rolls, level-bracketed, fully asynchronous. LUCK crits, KEEN dodges, CHARM taunts. Winners earn Honor for exclusive cosmetics — nothing is ever taken from the loser.
Your Den — home base
Every adventurer gets a room of their own: a floor of tiles where furniture and displayed gear live. Drag anything anywhere — pieces snap to the grid. Sweep daily for Glimmer, and check the In progress strip under the room to watch everything you've set cooking.
Stations
🔥 Hearth
Every level adds +3 Max HP. Its fire literally grows with it. Upgrades cost ✦50 → ✦800 across five levels, and the furniture's look improves as it levels.
🗄️ Display Case
Every level adds +1 LUCK. It's also the storage cabinet: seal a piece inside for timed restoration — it may come out a rarity tier finer, or shatter (odds below). Upgrades cost ✦50 → ✦800 across five levels, and the furniture's look improves as it levels.
🔨 Workbench
Every level adds +1 KEEN and reduces restoration break risk 2%. The bench is also the forge: level gear up and repair battle wear. Upgrades cost ✦50 → ✦800 across five levels, and the furniture's look improves as it levels.
🏅 Trophy Shelf
Every level adds +1 CHARM, as does each displayed Epic or Legendary. Click it to see every badge you've earned on IHasStuff — each pays a one-time Glimmer + XP reward, bigger for bigger milestones. Upgrades cost ✦50 → ✦800 across five levels, and the furniture's look improves as it levels.
Machines & the Workshop Market
⚗️ The Curiosity Engine (free with your den)
Three chambers of timed research: spend Glimmer, wait, collect more Glimmer, XP, tonics, even guaranteed Rare+ chests. Upgrade the Engine (✦150 / ✦300 / ✦600 / ✦1200) — each level runs research 5% faster and unlocks deeper projects, up to a Mythic Divination that guarantees an Epic-or-better find.
🎯 Training Dummy ✦300
Timed drills permanently raise LUCK, KEEN or CHARM — up to +3 each. Each rank costs double and takes longer (✦100/2h → ✦400/6h).
🪬 Rune Etcher ✦500
Carve runes into Lv 5+ gear (✦75 per etching, one rune per piece): 🔥 Ember Rune +2 ATK, 🛡️ Ward Rune +2 DEF, 🍀 Fortune Rune +4 LUCK, 👁️ Keeneye Rune +4 KEEN, 🎵 Echo Rune +4 CHARM. Runes drop from Stacks chests at depth 6+ and from Grail Divination.
⚱️ Glimmer Still ✦250
Condenses shelf dust overnight: +✦20 to every daily sweep.
Don't want something? Any station or machine (except the Engine) can be removed and sold from its own panel or the Market — you get half its invested value back, and sold stations can be bought back later for ✦100 with their upgrades reset. Choose wisely.
Forging, wear & repair
Every piece of gear has a forge level (up to Lv 10) adding +8% stats per level. Put it on the bench (or drag it there): Lv 1→2 costs ✦20 and 15 minutes, and both roughly ×1.6 each level after — masterwork is a commitment. Battles wear your equipped gear (−3 durability on a win, −5 on a loss); at 0% it's broken and fights at half strength until repaired. Repairs are instant and cost more for finer pieces and higher-level adventurers.
Restoration odds
| Sealed piece | Cost · time | Upgrade | Shatter* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | ✦25 · 30m | 75% | 10% |
| Uncommon | ✦60 · 2h | 65% | 20% |
| Rare | ✦150 · 8h | 50% | 30% |
| Epic | ✦400 · 24h | 35% | 40% |
*Each Workbench level shaves 2% off the shatter chance (floor 5%). Shattered pieces salvage 40% of the fee. Anything left over is "unscathed" — no harm done.
The Arcana Table
A card den inside the quest: build poker hands from 8 dealt cards (play 1–5, with 4 hands and 3 discards per blind), score chips × mult, and beat each blind's threshold. Clear 4 antes of Small → Big → Boss blinds and the table pays out — bosses twist the rules, and the finale is always the Backlog Dragon, whose threshold grows every hand you play.
🃏 Getting a seat
The table is free to play right now — up to 6 runs a day, on the house. Hang on to your Arcana Tickets (from deep Stacks chests and Ticket Tracing research); they'll matter when the buy-in returns.
🧙 The Wizard Council
Between blinds, Mog's Emporium sells wizards (5 seats): flat mult, per-suit chips, scaling powers, economy tricks. Buy with run-scoped Arcana ($) earned from blinds, unused hands, and interest — sell for half back. Builds are the whole game.
🏆 The pot
XP and Glimmer scale with blinds cleared (up to 50 XP and ✦73), and a full clear opens a gear chest. Arcane Archivists earn 1.5× XP here — cards are their element.
| Hand | Chips | Mult |
|---|---|---|
| High Card | 5 | ×1 |
| Pair | 10 | ×2 |
| Two Pair | 20 | ×2 |
| Three of a Kind | 30 | ×3 |
| Straight | 30 | ×4 |
| Flush | 35 | ×4 |
| Full House | 40 | ×4 |
| Four of a Kind | 60 | ×7 |
| Straight Flush | 100 | ×8 |
Card chips add on top: number cards face value, faces 10, aces 11. Wizards stack after that — order matters.
📖 Grimoire Pages
Each shop sells one page for a random hand type. Buying it levels that hand for the whole run — bigger hands grow faster per level (a Straight gains +22 chips and +2 Mult, while High Card only gains chips). Stack pages on one hand and build your run around it.
🪙 Curio Kits
Kits enchant a single card identity for the run — it returns with every shuffle. Gilded: +30 chips. Foil: +2 Mult. Lucky: 1-in-3 for +$2. And the jackpot roll, Prismatic: ×1.5 Mult every time that card scores. Buy the kit, then tap the card at the next deal.
🏷️ Skipping blinds
Before playing a hand on a Small or Big blind you may skip it for a mystery Charm Tag: instant cash, a free page, or a random enchant. No payout, and it doesn't count as cleared — pure greed, priced accordingly.
🂠 Decks
Run history unlocks new starting decks: reach Ante 2 for the Collector's (+1 discard) and Gambler's (+$4, only 3 hands), clear the table for the Archivist's (start with a random common wizard).
A blind, step by step
- You hold 8 cards. Tap 1–5 of them, then Play Hand — the best poker hand among them is what scores.
- Scoring: hand base chips + every scored card's chips, times the mult. Your wizards fire in shelf order — chip wizards first, then +Mult, then ×Mult last (that's why ×Mult wizards are gold).
- Not feeling it? Discard up to 5 cards (3 discards per blind) to draw fresh ones.
- Beat the threshold within 4 hands to clear the blind and bank Arcana ($): the blind payout, +$1 per unused hand, and interest ($1 per $5 held, max $5).
- Spend it at Mog's Emporium between blinds, then face the next one. Run out of hands short of the threshold and the run ends — you keep rewards for blinds already cleared.
The Wizard Council — full roster
A council of wizards, memes and furniture. Commons are cheap glue, uncommons scale or pay, rares warp builds — and gold-rimmed legendaries bend the whole run: copying the council, tripling shop odds, uncapping interest, even switching bosses off. Shop odds: 55% common / 30% uncommon / 12% rare / 3% legendary. And 1 in 50 offers prints NEGATIVE — inverted colors, and it takes no council seat at all. Other offers can roll a shiny print that fires every hand on top of the wizard's own power: Foil (+60 chips), Holo (+8 Mult) or the coveted Polychrome (×1.5 Mult) — stack a couple of those and the numbers stop being polite.

Fair play
- No pay-to-win, ever: gear affects the game, never the marketplace or your real collection.
- Drop odds are published above and identical for everyone at the same LUCK.
- Your adventurer shows on your public profile by default — one switch on the quest page hides it.
- XP grants are one-per-item: toggling statuses back and forth earns nothing.
