Collection items

	Collectible	Type	Subtype	Notes
1	Scale Fragment of Zhaitan	Item	Gizmo	Hint: Speak with Leivas to purchase enough Elder Dragon scale splinters to form a scale fragment.
2	Purified Scale Fragment of Zhaitan	Item	Gizmo	Hint: Purify the scale fragment by successfully capturing or defending the Cathedral of Zephyrs in Malchor's Leap.
3	Completed Memory of Zhaitan	Item	Service	Hint: Acquire a complete memory of Zhaitan by collecting enough memory fragments of Elder Dragons. Complete events in Ruins of Orr (Straits of Devastation, Malchor's Leap, Cursed Shore, Siren's Landing) to earn progress towards the Memories of Shadow and Death achievement which requires 250 Fragmented Elder Dragon Memories. Get 3 to 12 per event in Orr and 20 to 25 if you do the Tequatl the Sunless world boss event. Champions consistently give more shards than regular events (9 to 12 shards).
4	Lingering Risen Aether	Item	Service	Hint: Defeat Tequatl the Sunless while wielding an Aurene-based legendary weapon. You must wield the actual Aurene legendary weapon from the Legendary Armory and not an ascended transmuted weapon.
5	Purified Risen Aether	Item	Service	Hint: Purify the lingering Risen aether at one of Aurene's focusing crystals located at the Buried Archives. Interact with the darkened Aurene crystal at the start of the Buried Archives jumping puzzle to get the "Unpurified Lingering Risen Aether" effect. Then complete the jumping puzzle and interact with the other Aurene crystal at the end near the chest (you cannot simply go to the end of the jumping puzzle skipping it with a mount and gliding).
6	Uncharged Fragment of Prismatic Shadows	Item	Trophy	Hint: Return to Leivas to purchase an uncharged fragment.
7	Fragment of Prismatic Shadows	Item	Gizmo	Complete either Defeat the Risen High Wizard and secure the Promenade of the Gods or Ensure that the Pact holds the Gates of Arah (which starts roughly 1.5 hours after successfully capturing the Gates of Arah). Defeating the Risen High Wizard during the defend event is not required for the achievement, finishing the event does count towards it. Avoid using bundles or transformations (such as Necromancer or Specter shroud or having your Gunsaber drawn as a Bladesworn) as you might not get achievement credit this way (since you are technically not currently wielding the Aurene weapon in an equipped weapon set at that moment). The Uncharged Fragment of Prismatic Shadows must be in your inventory.
