Like so many people I found the Class A Exoskeletal System was far and away the hardest collection bit to find. Not only is it very rare it’s also in the Tomorrow District, a freaking maze of tall buildings that could have collection bits anywhere along their height including the rooftops.
So I started making a map. The below map shows every collection spawn I found in over 30 hours of searcyhing the Tomorrow District. A circle means the collection spawn was high up, on a roof or high ledge. A square means the collection spawn was down low, on the ground or a first/second story roof or awning. I hope this is helpful to anyone else searching the Tomorrow District for rare collection bits…
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to Wicced for writing this guide and collecting all locations. We think this will be extremely helpful for all of the DCUO community members and we hope you will enjoy it.
This is fantastic, keep em coming, and if you are on the Relentless server I will gladly pay you for your hard work.
What’s your IGN/LVL/class/etc? I also play on relentless. IGN is Grammaton. 30 Hero/Fire-Martial Arts/Meta. Feel free to hit me up if you need a dps. Got a fresh 30 gun-gad/Tech/ troll, too. Server population blows. Hit me up if you need HA/Daily/You get the idea help. PT making is like asking folks to volunteer for blood transfusions from HIV victims. Can’t wait for server merge. If you’re a villain, hell, hit me up still. Serve some pvp ownage at the superman statue for poops and giggles. Love, peace, and chicken grease, all. The invite stands for any and all competant players on the server.
The Server Relentless is a bullshit Server no good players you should jump on Blood will Run its the best server right now sooooooogooooooood and WeRunBlood 2 of the Best leagues out of all the servers
Yeah ok, you tell yourself that, we’ll see where your leagues stand when the megaservers come out.
I consider my league good. We r in the redemption server. Every league has their “regulars” and ours sit pretty high in overall with best role spec gear 65+ Skill Points. But the MegaServers will make it interesting hopefully ppl will join together instead of small ignorant leagues.
If u r on my server let me know lol
Wow thanks for all your hard work on this. I just started this set and quickly got frustrated with all the high and low places to look not to mention the area is huge. This map is great!
Is it just me or is there a secret? I went to every spot and only found 2 collection pieces lol
they aren’t always at every spot. this map is a guide for potential places they CAN spawn up.
(facepalm)
There’s no shortcut to farming collections, when you pick one up it will trigger a respawn at one of the other potential locations. Sometimes an area is limited to having a certain number active, some areas have long (ie: 10min) waits between respawns, all areas will have worthless global collection items that will drop just to mess you up.
Are collection spawn points shared within ‘areas’ or X amount available per city or even the cities sharing the same pot? Do we know this?
Pretty sure each area (district if in cities) has a set number of orbs spawned at any given time, unless they are despawned due to recently being collected – for example, Oolong island has at maximum 3 orbs at once but can have as little as zero orbs if each is collected in less than 5 minutes. If three people collect each orb at the same time, there will be zero orbs for five minutes.
Tomorrow district very likely has more than 3 orbs at once (pretty sure I’ve found at least 4 or 5 within 5 minutes) – one thing you have to consider though is that there may be other people in the district picking up orbs – competition is pretty tough sometimes.
One more thing to note is that you don’t want to move too quickly through the zones while looking for collections because most people believe that the collection orbs are the last things to appear on the screen with the load-lag. Slow-flying is ideal.
You can also detect collections (and investigations and briefings) by the humming sound them make when you near them. I’ve found numerous ones I might have missed otherwise by using this detection method!
I have never noticed a buzzing sound. I will have to listen closely. It will be a big help. Thank you.
First of all the “megaserver” is bullshit all it did was make the game as glitchy and as full of arrogant, self-centered, jackasses as the game could be. There nothing but issues, the voice chat turns on and off at will as does the text chat, the mail system and broker panel only works when the population is at low or medium. Since all these world were mashed together like 10 fatasses in an elevator everyone who sits in the hall of doom sabotage chamber like dipshits just cause the game to lag-out whenever people mindlessly use there powers at the same time for no reason. As far as whos league is more full of conceited rejects who cares? “my leagues better , no its not mines better” get over it the simple fact that your saying your league is the best one on an entire server is like saying you have a huge johnson … 9 times out of 10 if you have to say you have it you dont have it. If you dont have at LEAST 80 Skill points and full T2/raid gear and a 103.5 weapon your a chump plain and simple. How bout you guys stop wasting your time arguing over whos more badass and use the “submit feedback” in the actual game and try to get sony to realize that they have made a catostrophic error in mashing us all together because all they did was f@ck-up the game. And EVIL GENIUS thanks for the briefing guide i was tired of running around trying to find the last HEART OF DARKNESS 4 briefing i needed now i have them all thanks again.
lol you jelly?
Thanks for this guide. Much appreciated. 🙂
Do you have another guide similar to this?
