I only found the Zombie and the Ogrim trophy so far. I dont mind the rarity, but they should keep dropping even if you outlevelled an NPC.

Misinformation

The collectible drops from specific types of creatures, not based off of level and are low chance drops. Again level is irrelevant here.

What is the use in those collectables?

To unlock achievements and dyes

If they are going to do that, then they should add some nix-hounds to Cyrodiil near the EP gates.

That would make sense geographically, as it's near Morrowind.

Like adding jackals do Craglorn.

Since I got all collectible achievements on my main, I thought that keeping duplicates for inventory collection would be feasible. I wonder what's going to happen to existing collected items staying in the inventory/bank.

This is completely silly. I don't have any desire to be on my main farming mobs for Zero CP just for a trophy. On an alt, I can play normally, earn cp/xp, progress, AND work towards the endless trophy achievement. Why change it? ZOS is constantly working on and/or changing crap that ISN'T BROKEN NOR COMPLAINED ABOUT. There priorities need fixin, that is the real bug. This makes me have to play on a charater that only wants to endgame or fish if I want the trophy achievement too. So instead of hours and hours of FUN on alts, it's hours and hours of BOREDOM on my main. Yes I have a choice not to do it, but why make that choice easy by essentially making the achievement infinitely more BORING? What.a.load.of.crap.

They really should make collectibles drop for all factions at both vet and non-vet levels, then, since we will no longer be able to use alts to pick up the ones we missed. Some people missed them because collectibles were bugged when they were playing through on their main, or because we didn't even have dyes to work for back then!

But at this point I'm just waiting for the announcement that we'll be able to pick up the ones we're missing in the crown store.

I hope it doesn't come to that.

@ZOS_RichLambert come /lurk buddy. This change is creatively boring.

They decided to change collectibles to 'register' upon looting (like rare fish) and not when used. Then the problem is that you can move em around to multiple characters, each time it'll count for the achievement (on live this is possible with rare fish). We all know why they did this: because ppl are too stupid to just consume the collectible and are freaking out about this unusual item in their bag. Please, PLEASE change it back to how it is on live, and maybe even change rare fish to also require consumption.

If the whole reason for this change is that people simply don't realize that you need to "Use" the items to add them to your collection, wouldn't the simplest solution be to just add this info to the item's tool-tip?

When someone gets an item that they don't know what it is, first thing they do is select it to see what the game tells them. If that box simply said "Use this item to add it to your collection!" It would completely solve that issue.

Making them not-bankable, thus preventing farming them on alts, is the worst possible "solution" to any problem with the collectibles. ZOS, please revisit this decision, it's a very bad one.

So AD players will never be able to get that fleshy symbiot drop then

You will be happy to know that these now drop in the new IC group dungeons!!!

So there's another PvE achievement gated behind PvP that I don't want to play.
Well lets hope they'll have these drop in he Orcisium DLC in dec.

Agree, if they are going to stick with this change they need to ensure that these items are available to be farmed by anyone.

@RavenSkylord The very first entry in that thread says that they are based on level:

• Veteran rank level characters can only obtain collectibles from enemies level 45 and up. If your character can get experience and normal loot from the enemies, then the trophy can drop from them.

Missing the point, all enemies can be found above 45, so claiming the only way to get achievement is through alts and the bank is misleading

[*] Monster trophies will always drop off appropriate level monsters for your character. A game-wide audit was done to make sure that no matter what level you are, there is always a place you can go to work on collecting the trophy you are looking for.

Whoo, finally! This makes me so happy.

Hi everyone,

We’d like to provide a little insight and clarification on the upcoming changes to collectibles.

Currently, collectible trophies work differently for those obtained via fishing versus those obtained via monster kills. Fishing trophy collectibles grant the associated achievement upon item pick-up, whereas monster-kill trophy collectibles grant the associated achievement upon use. This difference was resulting in a high volume of bug reports and feedback in which players thought the collectible trophies were broken. That combined with the availability being limited by level-range prompted us to make the system more intuitive and uniform. That’s where the upcoming changes come in.

So what do those changes consist of? Here’s a short list:

• All collectible trophies will now grant the associated achievement when the item is first looted.
• Monster trophies will always drop off appropriate level monsters for your character. A game-wide audit was done to make sure that no matter what level you are, there is always a place you can go to work on collecting the trophy you are looking for.
• Collectible trophies can no longer be banked and traded to another character.

We hope that helps clarify the changes. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Clarify? Yes, in terms of the disparity in the way monster trophies and fishing trophies are used.
HOWERVER, the "Collectible trophies can no longer be banked and traded to another character" is trivial.
Since this achievement has been introduced, I have enjoyed the hunt while playing ANY toon I want. You see, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, I only play my 'main' for endgame content and new content. The 'main' has been here since launch and has almost every PVEISH achievement there is, except for fishing and monster trophies. ZOS just recently made fishing worth doing. My main fishes, gets achievements AND mats to add my alts in leveling. But why would you make me go farm these monsters on the 'main'? I have enjoyed doing it on my alts, who get to contribute to the monster hunt. It doesn't make me feel that if I want this achievement, I have to "grind" senselessly. There is enough mechanics that make people feel the "grind" already. Why deepen such a play style? My main has it half done by a method of an ENTIRE YEAR, and now some trivial behaviour changes this. There is an argument that some of these type achievements should be account wide, but the go around to the debate is about to "fixed". I can only urge you to revisit this.
For a game that suggests "play as you want", why do I have to change my play style comfort zone EVERY content update?
This is a small complaint, in the grand scheme of things, but for the love of the Divines, LEAVE THE BANKING/TRADING PORTION ALONE. STOP MAKING ME PLAY ON CERTAIN TOONS FOR TRIVIAL REASONS!!!
