Area Collects

Hello everyone in the Meadow! I've made this guide for avid collectors or achievement hunters who want to know the best places to have optimum chances of finding what you need!
This is my first guide, and not my last, so I do hope you enjoy!
And please tell me if you find this helpful; I'm open to criticism!

Welcome!

Hello everyone in the Meadow today! This is a guide to collects (stones, puzzle pieces and flowers) and the best places to find them!

I am very excited to make this guide, as it's my first, so any help/criticism would be amazing!
Please remeber that this is based off my own experiences and opinion; anything you want to add/change, do say, and I'll see to it!

I will be adding more of my own finds to this, and new areas as I come to explore them more regularly.

Right, introductions out the way: let's go! I'll be looking at each part of the Meadow Map, to show you where the best of the best is..

(Cute picture of me, just for fun)

Hilly Lands

First is Hilly Lands, where the hills... roll! Here, small, two person Obelisks (or stones as I'll call them) are easily spotted here! I find there's always loads, and a few tall skinny stones too!

To get here, run up the banks by that land that have cut out area, with the waterfalls! It's by a Birch Forest and Center Tree Rugged Hills. There's another massive tree here, and this is it's biggest landmark.

Not many flowers and puzzles spawn here, however when they do, you'll be pleased! I found 5 fabled flowers in 1 hour, though I only got one picture. Also a golden piece! Great haul, love it up here.

Also, watch out for those bushes, some are made to sneakily look like stones, but they're not!
Here's a picture of the tree that is in this area, and some of the surroundings.







Lot's of goodies, with golden pieces, the big tree, and lots of runestones!



Also, at night if you want that Star Achievement, go here to find the stars! Here's images of me there, at night, with them!

Birch Forests/Birch Islands

Ahh, the Birch Forests, one of the first things you see. Here, so many pretty flowers spawn, but most are common ones, those green leafy ones, some flowery too! Also, few stones for two spawn here, I find, but you'll find one atleast!

The river that runs on the edge has few water flowers too, so get your frog on and go swimming! The islands that are near the forests house loads of puzzle pieces sometimes, rare flowers, and the water has lots of water plants!

Again, below are images of what I'm on about, the islands and birch trees. First one has a red puzzle piece which aren't too rare, nor too common here and the second, as you can see, LOADS of flowers, bundles! I'm amazed.






And now the islands:

First one is of a red puzzle piece (in the distance, click to enlarge).

Winter Forests/Winter Flat Lands

The Winter Forests are a foggy place, only for the most skilled at tracking. This place is home to few, and very few, collects. It seems to have a small balence between everything really, that or I can't see past the fog! A good way to locate this area is by finding the Spruce Forest; the Winter lands are just opposite!

However, the open lands are better for spotting few small two person stones, and many tall skinny stones and fatter stones! I do like the Winter Flat Lands, for this exact reason. Also, by it's waterfall and cave, there's always alot of blue water flowers, they give a few good essence if you're in need.

As you can see, fog in both forests (one before flat lands and one after) is a big problem, and hard to lead a group into. But, I guess the rewards are great, if you're willing for a challenge.

Rugged Hills

The Rugged Hills are two areas. One by Amethyst Cave, and have loads of Blue puzzle pieces, fat and skinny stones! Alot of flowers spawn here too, many being rare ones, but are hard to get to becuase of all those stones in the way!
The other hills are those that are near the center tree, by the waterfalls with cut out land! Here's some images, of puzzle pieces, flowers and stones! All in the area I call Rugged Hills.
(Center Tree Hills)

(Cave Hills)

(Also if you want that Catnip Secret Achievement, go to the Rugged Hills by the cave to find purple plants as a Lynx or Lynx Cub and sniff! It's so trippy)!

Spruce Woods

The Spruce Woods are just opposite the first Winter Forest, and house many flowers, commons and rares, with a big lake in the middle that usually has lots of water plants too!

Also, I find lots of red puzzle pieces to spawn here, as well as some blue ones too!

The trees may seem hard to navagate round, but they're only thin, so it's not too hard! Also, this forest is just left, or right depending on where you spawn, to the center tree!

Not many stones spawn here, one if you're lucky, but that's on its outskirts. I would come here if you want water plants or just plants in general!

Swamps

The Swamps are much of... nothing, really. You'd expect alot of flowers, but there aren't many. Not in my own experiences, anyway. Stones are rare here, too, found on the outskirts if you're lucky.

I guess the only things found here are some puzzle pieces, all varying from red to yellow, and then water flowers, too! There are some leafy flowers on land, just to let you know! I personally love it here for the adventures; climbing its mountain and there's a tree with a den underneath!

That's why I like the Swamp, but the fog can get overbearing sometimes, it does depend what time you play, though.

To get here, there's a hill in the 'old' Autunm Forest, and atop that hill, is the Swamps! It's a small area, but sometimes what you find can be great, or awful. It's all about luck, I guess. If you plan on swimming around for water flowers here, be a frog! It's very tedious if you're not!

Autunm Forests (Old and Newly added)

The 'old' Autunm Forest is home to many red puzzles, lots of rare flowers, few fabled, and also some two person stones!

I LOVE Autunm, and this forest is amazing for it's colours! It's a little hard to get to, as it's so far away,ad I don't really know I defiente route: I almost go past the second Winter Forest and just stumble across it.
(EDIT: ... Told me a better route: it's alot faster than just finding the forest, so here you all are! An easy way to get to the (old) Autumn Forest is to find the direction of where Rugged Hills is, also where the big hole in the map is, and you turn around, facing south of that. You then run that way until you find yourself in the Swamp and either go left or right, or else you would run into that mountain! Anyways, you would turn left, and you reach the (old) Autumn Forest, in a matter of seconds! All you have to do is cross the river and you would be in the forest. In my opinion, it's the fastest way there. Hope this helped!)

Here, also, are some rivers with little water flowers, and also there are poppers! I like these poppers, mainly becuase they're super fun, and they unlock an achievement!

So, here's some pictures, then I'll move onto the newer forest.



The 'newer' forest is a bit like the older one: few stones, alot less than other places, but their rewards are great! Also flowers spawn little here too, same for the red puzzle pieces, but there's a patch of poppers double than the ones in the old forest! And MAN are they GREAT!

This one is a bit harder to manouvre, as there's more trees, yet, the trees make for a great game of hide and seek, and have amazing colours (once again)!

To get here, just follow on from the 'old' forest, it leads onto here, and you probably won't notice a difference.

I am slightly obsessed with poppers.

Conclusion

Thank you all for reading! I hope you enjoyed, and this helped you! I will be adding more when I get time to, and also I might add a page where I'll put my findings and their places, so that you can maybe check around those areas, who knows?

Any ideas for improvement, or even another guide? Do say! I'm all for helping out the communtiy, as you've all helped me out so much! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

So, now that's this is over (for now), I guess you'll be on your way! Have an amazing day, you desrve it, and good luck in the Meadow.

Sure! It's night-time for the UK but I'll totally get on that this weekend! Thank you for the suggestion, and check back soon for it :D

[Jay]

Thanks for this nice guide ! Could you make a sort of map with those main areas ?

[BotanicalTears]

I think I did, thank you! That's not rude at all, and thank you!

[Auro]

Not trying to be rude but I think you spelled Obelisks wrong, nice guide by the way.
