The Collector’s Desire
The Collector’s Desire is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the The Collector Final merchant, part of the Hearty Haul quest line. Adventurer, there are many like me who seek rare and elusive relics. Such a pursuit is no mere pastime, but a noble path of inquiry. Ancient legends, hidden treasures, remnants of the past, traces of monsters... anything will do. Bring me what is truly rare, and you shall be handsomely rewarded. The objective is to bring 10× item. All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to The Collector Final in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing TheCollector_18 before it becomes available from The Collector Final. Completing The Collector’s Desire rewards 1,000 XP, Squat Rest (Emote). The quest is completed in Ice Cavern, Goblin Caves, Ruins or Ship Graveyard. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full The Collector Final quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The Hearty Haul chain provides a structured progression path through the The Collector Final quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
