Collections[]
Defeating NPC trainers and opening iron/golden chests give you collectibles which are a part of one of the various collections (sets) that you can exchange for certain items. Unlike Trainer Tokens, collectibles can be obtained from trainers even if you've already fought them once. The collectibles that the trainers drop also depends on the area where you are fighting them. For example, all trainers in The Southern Forest will drop leaves only.
Collections enable you to exchange them in return for common or uncommon items, by collecting all five objects in the set. In order to start collecting and exchanging sets, you first need to activate that collection by completing a quest for the particular NPC that unlocks that collection. Although you can exchange a collection only after you have unlocked it from its NPC, you can start collecting its items before you've done so.
At the moment, there are only 6 collecions that you activate in the forest areas. There are no new collections to be activated in the mountain and desert areas.
