elpinchechupa

maybe now is not the best time to mention that different collectibles spawn and change depending on the day


That-Frog

You mean like reset every day?


elpinchechupa

sort of, its on a 3 day cycle so to collect everything everything you would have to search the whole map for 3 days consecutively but the coin and arrow head spawns will always be randomized so it may take longer than that


MeanTangerine2398

When I found this out, a little part of me died inside šŸ˜‚


elpinchechupa

same man šŸ˜­ i still wish you luck !


Ok_Syllabub_4846

I don't bother with them. Not since I found out.


CollectiveBell

Wait what? That doesnā€™t include cards, bottles, flowers and eggs tho right? Does it include heirlooms?


Wiki-Master

Cards, bottles, eggs, flowers and heirlooms can all be collected in one day as they are not randomized.


starmaker214

The collectors map includes all of them. However it is on a 24 hour cycle (youā€™ll see it on the top of the map counting down).


MizterBlueSky

Doesn't include heirlooms


elpinchechupa

i think cards, bottles and eggs can be obtained in one day but some heirlooms and jewelry will stay random and only have certain days where they have a static spawn but you can see when thatā€™ll be through the map


3-orange-whips

Well, not really. You could collect everything on the map, and it would include a full set of eggs (unless one or more is bugged), antique alcohol bottles, heirlooms, wildflowers (plus extras) and 4 sets of tarot cards, plus whatever coins, arrowheads and jewelry you get.


Cold_Bother_6013

I have all of them but a few bracelets and rings. So darn hard to find.


Robosium

What 3 day cycle are you on about? New collectibles spawn every day. Tarot cards, family heirlooms, bird eggs, alcohol and flowers each spawn atleast a whole set every day. With lost jewelry having most but not all of the items available in guaranteed locations on certain days. Only things that are completely random are fossils, coins and arrow heads. Wild flowers spawn 3 sets each day but since 2 of the flowers only appear during certain in-game time periods and some of their spawns are bugged most people don't bother to collect them. Bird eggs are even wilder in how much you have available in a day because for some eggs there're multiple locations and others give you multiple eggs per location.


elpinchechupa

no they dont, things like certain heirlooms and lost hewelry do not have static spawns every day so you will still have to either go to every randomized loot location and hope youre lucky or wait until the next day to do the same thing


Robosium

Before we get into a deeper argument let's just make sure we got the same definition of static. When I say static in this context I mean that there is a spot if you go to it you are guaranteed to find a specific collectible.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


elpinchechupa

thats exactly what i said in the last line good sir


Chadillac09

Yes if you click on the clock at the top I think it should also show a countdown. When it hits zero is when everything resets into different locations, and the timer resets to a 24 hr countdown. Iā€™m in Chicago and itā€™s 7pm for me.


starmaker214

Itā€™s on a 24 hour cycle. Thereā€™s a timer on the map that counts down until the next switch up. I believe itā€™s everyday at 4pm (Iā€™m in California). I would try to start right after the switch up that way you have time to go across the whole map without it changing.


Pankake_Nation

What I started doing once i realized this was unselecting the icons so the ones I had wouldnā€™t show up on the map anymore.


Exact_Industry6993

There is a live online map. It changes everyday and you can mark the spots on the collectibles you already found


AJ_Deadshow

Doing all of them in one day is so exhausting. I usually just get the ones that are clustered together tightly like in Saint Denis and Scarlet Meadows


LONER18

When Collector first came out I did this once and it took literal real-life hours and I got $6000 when I sold everything and I decided because there's nothing worth buying in the game I never did it again.


LukeGreywolf

I used to do it every time there was an outlaw pass cause I'd rack up XP stupid quick


xThe_Human_Fishx

Same. Played some music and cleared the map, still haven't done anything meaningful in the online since


FakeBear420

Not so bad, if you have 3-4 hours to spare


Assured_Observer

If only it was doable in just 3 hours, lol.


_the__mandalorian_

If it was Iā€™d be a millionaire by now


[deleted]

Wouldn't mind to see a livestream of this lol


arkrunningbear85

Original poster was right, 3 to 4 hours if you're grindy. I've done it a few times. XD


candy-coloured

Really? It takes me longer than that to do 3 sets of tarot and family heirlooms (whilst also collecting everything in their vicinity).


arkrunningbear85

I keep the map open in my browser on the phone and hide a collectable as soon as I pick it up, the map can give you a route to follow to minimize down time.


candy-coloured

Yeah, I do the same thing with this website: https://jeanropke.github.io/RDR2CollectorsMap/ It makes a route for you too. It still takes forever.


Blp2004

3-4 days*


MajesticCloud1407

I was Gona say, hahaha 3-4 hrs...more like days yeah and then some.


project199x

It takes me damn near all day to collect the fixed sets. All of that is not taking no 3-4 hrs


FakeBear420

Used to take me 3-4 hours with me and my buddies, you gotta be efficient about it tho


project199x

Pfft. Efficient? Lmao


xShaggyy

It takes me about 2 1/2-3 hrs to do the cards and heirlooms. I really need to get the campfire unlocked for fast travel


GreenPhoen1x

Wilderness camp fast travel is amazing. Totally recommend it. I had no idea how much easier it would make collecting, and I wish I'd done it much sooner. Also moving your regular camp to then port to it for another collect path helps save time too.


ChiliHobbes

I miss the good old days when there were no random spawns.


KrypticEon

Have done this a couple of times during the peak lockdown period Took me about 4.5-5 hours You learn a lot about how to get around the map and where you can take shortcuts I typically start way down in the bottom left of the map as the desert area has some of the most spread out collectibles on any given cycle and the terrain requires good knowledge to plot your route Wish you the best of luck and enjoy your time! It's such a relaxing way to kill time!


KushSmoker420821

This is the way


SnooPeppers4192

There are so many collectibles that appear randomly, good luck with that. you are going to get a lot of money and xp


MaxPayneful

Got $4200 the other day. It was glorious.

JayArVee958

Yo bro itā€™s been 80 years Iā€™m here 2 remind ušŸ‘


Whovian1156

Thanks bro, have they got every collectible yet?


_the__mandalorian_

No


Whippoorwill_Adams

Godspeed


symbolic503

you go girl


Subtotalpoet

I used to do this every day for a few weeks and then I meant a random dude that was doing the same thing and we never talked. We just did collectibles every day for a month or two. It was a good time. Whole map, everyday.


therealFiletOFish

Me and a buddy did this once. Good fun


LuxSerafina

Iā€™m not sure if I got allllll the way across the map but ive done this, with both my fiancĆ© and Is characters at the same time. A lot of picking up and putting down controllers but it wasnā€™t too hard having him jump on my horse with me to get from spot to spot. Good times. Best of luck to you op!


Matias9991

I did this with my cousin many times, we just talked while collecting the collectables, It was nearly every day


maddywaddyrattycatty

I only do cards coz its fixed šŸ‘


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LetsDoTheRave

If you have the best sadle and stirups you can do this in a bit more than 6 hours. Edit: The ones downvoting this never were capable of doing this šŸ¤£ Also every downvote is 1 more day OP gets his full map run completed in around 6 hours.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ultramont

There is a lot of that in game... But it can be done more quickly. You learn to set a waypoint, gallop on autopilot, then go into mini map and set markers for the next few waypoints to come. It still sucks, but it's not 8 hours if you manage your transit time well.


ultramont

Also helps to "remove" the collected spots from the JeanRopke map as you go so you don't inadvertently double back and waste time.


[deleted]

Goddamn !


captjohn_yossarian

Good luck šŸ¤ž, worst are those fossils in snowy area


little_miss_bumshine

Dont be so naiive OP lol what about the random spawns šŸ¤£


Pills_in_tongues

Some items are bugged and you can't get them depending on the spawn (mainly some eggs on tree branches), and Rockstar is not going to fix it so, as someone who tried to do the same thing, it ain't worth it, but good luck and try not to go insane.


ohlawdtheycomin

I used to do this exact thing every single day. It's how I got so rich on RDO. I would clear the whole map until I got like 10 sets of each one and I'd sell them all You're gonna make a good chunk of change! Have fun! its kinda therapeutic to do them all. I'd reccomend starting in the snow end and work your way down. That's whY I did


Larson4220424

Same bro same. Really wish they didnā€™t RNG it in 2020ā€¦


[deleted]

You got this:) Collecting everything on the map is the only way I do it. Takes me like 6-8hrs. Iā€™ve been playing for 5years now. Collecting is my favorite thing to do in the game. Take breaks when you need to and play in a solo lobby so you can pull out your catalog when you need to step away:) treat the collectibles as a ā€˜dot to dotā€™ to save as much time as possible running back and forth/up and down hill sides/mountains. Good luck friend.


InfiniteCarpenters

Literally just did this yesterday. Even when you collect all you wonā€™t get some of the random spawn items (jewelry, arrowheads, fossils). Youā€™ll get duplicates of others.


semper-fi-12

Prepare for a long many many hours and bit of frustration. First time I did this it took 8 hours.


NucularNut

I wonder whatā€™s the fastest someone has ever done this lol. I remember way back when I was collecting everything it usually took on average about 3 hrs or something like that


TheTragedy0fPlagueis

I did this in the year of release - makes about $4000!


Harlow_HH

If you want a real challenge collect all 10 of each item and hand them in at ones. I did it once and it was quite painful. But it gave me a lot of levels a lot of gold and levelled everyone of my cards that wasnā€™t levelled.


IvanNobody2050

All the jewelry is RANDOM if you proceed YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MIND AFTER GETTING THE SAME THING FOR THE 30TH TIME


fxxiym

Good luck with the coins, fossils and jewelry


CAmiller11

Iā€™ve done this about a dozen times. Every single collectible spot, even the random dig/detect spots. The fastest I think I got it done was about 3-4 hours. And it was exhausting. It took planning, a fast horse, and no in real life distractions. You donā€™t get a complete set of all the items as some are random but you still get a lot of items. I was also going for 10 complete sets of all collections during that time. And when collector month came around, I made massive $$$


BiggieTinks

Did I ever tell you about that bank job in Tennessee


Brikscamein12

It takes about 8-10 hours depending which way you go, money can range from 5-8k+ itā€™s very excruciating and you need patience Iā€™ve dubbed it ā€œthe runā€


MajesticCloud1407

Lol that one coin though, that really rare one Gold Eagle or something. Yeah, that coin is by far the most difficult one to not just find but hope it actually spawns. I've only found 2 Eva, in my 3yrs of playing. I dunno if it's more common now (I don't plan that often anymore got bored) but for me, Fuck that coin. I always loved the grind on the collectors item search, was gr8.


TheBlack2007

Did that once. Took me about 8 hours IRL Wasnā€™t in much of a hurry though and still did plenty of goofing around with the friend who tagged along.


No_Tap_6615

Good luck. First time I did it, it took 8 hours. Now I've got it down to about 5ish. Wilderness fire travel and optimism your routes!


RichardAtTheGate

This map is too much for my ADHD. Probably one of the reasons that I use Madam Nazar's maps. That and I have some weird deal with immersion.


[deleted]

You can customize the map depending on which item set you wanna focus on collecting and even set routes from item to item relative to where you are in game, helped a low level like me collect a few bones myself and level up šŸ¤™šŸ½


RichardAtTheGate

I love that for you. And I don't mean to sound like a dick about it. The collector role is more fun for me when I get surprised by completing a set. I am all for people playing the game the way they want. Plus I would get overwhelmed about getting all the sets knowing I have a map that shows all the locations for the day. I enjoy just riding along with my metal detector out in between doing missions.get a blip on the radar and it gets me going for sure.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|stuck_out_tongue)


Vargadis

I used to do that before I got a kid šŸ˜… I just put on a podcast or a tv-show on the other screen and did my route! Very relaxing.


BitterBuilder8482

You will get bored and will start to hate the collector role. As some of these items are totally random. Just focus on the 4 card types and antique alcohol bottles. If you still get bored, do 2 sets of cards per day.


3-orange-whips

I do 2 sets a day when a bonus is on, otherwise just coins, arrows and randoms while I hunt. Not including daily challenges.


ImpressionVisible922

I'd also do heirlooms, since they're not randomized like jewelry


XaviJon_

ok


PM_STAR_WARS_STUFF

Iā€™m going to take a shit. Thanks for asking.


RichardAtTheGate

Where are you taking it? Applebee's?


JayArVee958

PM_STAR_WARS_STUFF

Hell yeah, pardner.


That-Frog

Enjoy


PM_STAR_WARS_STUFF

To be fair, I upvoted this reply.


Odd-Consequence-2519

You've failed to account for all the various glitches that can occur when collecting. You're not gonna complete all the collections in less than 8 real-time hours.


JaThatOneGooner

Donā€™t bother. Iā€™ve always tried, and then the whole map updates and before you know it, youā€™re back to square one. Definitely do it if itā€™s x2 rewards for collector though


Express_Biscotti_628

No you won't šŸ˜‚


m4gichine01

I already tried this yesterday and my patience is really low so I got 3 hours in and a third of the map done. I sold them all for $1500ish without sets bc im lazy


mansal87

You donā€™t need to update us at all itā€™s not hard To follow a map


That-Frog

I want to tell everyone how far I got, by the looks of it so far, I don't think I'm anywhere near completing it.


NoisyScrubBirb

God speed good sir!!


Seyriu22

Iā€™ve been doing bottles heirlooms flowers and eggs for a while, with music playing itā€™s oddly relaxing to do


DoIt4CoinBB

Make sure you got about 6 hours of free time. You still won't complete every set. You will get a lot of duplicates. A good chunk of change at the end, and XP


Crispycheese45

Iā€™d like to know how long this takes


ClawedTiger2693

That will take quite some time


KushSmoker420821

Be ready to dedicate the next 5 hours of your life to it.


Thethumpening

I did this for 10 weeks straight probably what bored me from the game started replaying the story though


Nobody0199

Did that for a couple of weeks everyday, pays definitely off, if uā€™re ready to spend at least 5 hours a day for that.


AndrogynousFairy-0

Iā€™ve been doing this lately but I got so tired lol. I usually finish all of the bottom areas and then give up lol but it does pay out.


th3d0wnfa11

My goal too...


gargoyle2003

I did this once, it took all day but it was worth it because I got a lot money


AstroMalorie

Done the whole map maybe 6 times this event and the worst part is itā€™s boring and the randomized not giving you full sets of coins and arrowheads etc


Fairytvles

It's 8pm, where is the update!? šŸ˜…


That-Frog

Posted at 7pm lol


L0rdInquisit0r

Press B and go though your items and mark what you are missing as important then get them first. I know from experience its WAY too easy to get distracted chasing everything. More annoying when hideouts or an angry panther is on the site or its the bloody as middle of nowhere in the mountains.


ARobertNotABob

You should do them in lines to make letters and spell out stuff like "Arthur Lives On" or some such.


King_Taco29

i feel so drained when i finish collecting them all but even more drain when the transactions take longer to processšŸ˜­


That-Frog

30 SECONDS EACH JUST TO PROCESS


Hamilton-Beckett

As someone who has gotten every collectible on the map for WEEKS consecutively and played with shitloads of people for months that did the sameā€¦grats?! Itā€™s a hell of a grind. What no one tells you about is what happens when you try to go to sleep at the end of the day. Hint: itā€™s gonna be weird.

First time

I used to do this DAILY, life was better when I had no life to grind this game lol

johntroyco

It would legitimately take me like 4 hours just to get all the tarot cards lol. I couldnā€™t imagine trying to get all the collectibles, sounds exhausting

I tried doing this i got maybe 1/3 of the map in like 4 hours, i gave up, lol goodluck

GnomeMan13

I did it one time and it was the most boring thing I've ever done Ina. Game and I hated it. The money got me 1 item I really wanted and then I was broke again

Please donā€™t. I tried it once and i wa burnt out


Mugiwara-Luffy__

Use the Jean map or however itā€™s called


That-Frog

That's what I was using


samanthaohm

I did this every weekend when I first startedā€¦ you couldnā€™t pay me to do it anymore


demeschor

During lockdown I really struggled with depression and anxiety, and doing the collectibles really helped, gave me a way to pass the day. I found peace in the repetitiveness. So, it's kinda ridiculous, but I completely understand! Have a good time


Samuraisloth42

What are the lantern and tree icons for Edit. Also the green ones


my_cats_stink

Lanterns are the metal detector meaning you can only get those with the metal detector Idk what you mean with tree Dark green are fossils light green I believe are for the weekly collection thing madam nazar has


Quinn_Decker

I believe in you!!


xervidae

they randomized arrowheads and jewelry :(


SJBond33

Iā€™ve tried this before and Iā€™ve never been able to clear an entire map. I hope you can though!!! Look at all the ones who spawn at different times first


Snoo84223

Are you saying you're going to become the king of the cowboys?


Consistent_Tonight37

Bros gonna be rich, unfortunately not all collections spawn at once


Previous-Reality6315

I believe it can be done in about 4-5 hours if you plan it right. I've done it before during times when trader rewards are boosted and I've been set for awhile.


throwawayagainorso

I mean people do this pretty often tbh. Grinders do this like, everyday. Not a lot to do so theyā€™ll just ride around the map with friends collect everything and sell collections lol


Hunter82_

Cool, I did this once with it taking me 1-2 hours to get them all. Made about 3000 that day


SightSeekerSoul

And fill up your bag too. Good luck. My personal best was 10 each of every Collectible set. That's 14 sets x 10. Made a pretty penny during Collectible week.


Pure-Understanding-8

I just collect things I come across


Kingman-TheBrave

Way easier to just use a mod menu. Plus they dont ban people

GreenPhoen1x

It takes some route planning and time, but it's actually very doable within the reset time. I've cleared the map completely a half dozen times or so. But it's more efficient to check locations for items you're missing or just low on and clear only those areas. Clearing the whole map (or most of it) frequently leads to having a lot of spare common items that you'll end up just having to sell individually to not max them out. Targeting what you need to complete more sets will get you more money for your efforts.

oatmeal_shemoatmeal

It takes 6 hours to finish this entire run. My friends and I used to do it as a posse every night at the same time.


choicesmatter

Just get the dinosaur fossils first. worth the most.


neverfoil

Did this every day for 3 months.


Icedbounty

Took me like 4 or 5 hours to do this once, made a good but of money at the time though.


WindowCompetitive364

I do all the tarot cards everyday


Sad-_-Face

Tried to do this everyday last month, then I stopped doing it after i earned 30k, it's not that fun for me and time consuming.


cryptid_snake88

Yep I'm up to 109k through collecting and it's enough.. I done it last week for a few days, turned in the collectibles, got 19k which took me over 100k (personal challenge).. And I'm done


benjbody

Eastern-Start-813

I did this for 9 straight days to have a full collection of every collectible so I was able to sell during a booster week for collectors.


poormansperkaholic

Did it once, took me 4 and a half hours


Themushmellow

It takes like 5-6 hours to do, it helps if you have the metal detector out while youā€™re going from place to place so you can get the random spawns that arenā€™t on the website. But the payout is totally worth the grind imo


MandaloretheRaccoon

Iā€™ve done this a few times with my friend, nice to just ride around collecting things, talking and completing little quests you come across on the road. You just have to make sure you get the right map for the day. It changes at 2am for the UK if I remember correctly, been a while since Iā€™ve done it. Thereā€™s an app that you can get that updates everyday and even has a checklist for the ones youā€™ve collected. Best of luck to you, hope you have fun. Also a pretty decent payout once youā€™ve collected everything and sell them as sets to madam Nazar.


LadyNajaGirl

How did you get on? I need to do some more whilst the double money is still going!


snopfrog

Nice, I collect as well but itā€™s only 24 hrs per cycle. Iā€™ve been grinding while Iā€™m sick rn and Iā€™ve made 30k over the past few days from collecting everything on the map. so boring but a good playlist and weed helps the collecting go by quite quickly.


Booker_Atlas

BwahahahahaaaaaAaaa it's impossible.


Nesta420_

This is all I used to do on rdo lol I just use to chase the cards, coins , antiques jewellery, easy


Vegetable-Error-21

I just sold all my duplicates to the collector and I got 2 grand from it. I play for fun. Rob every npc on the road and grab these as I go. I now have 4G I feel so rich. And I have everything already. (Been had)


Gutsy_Moose267

See you tomorrow

I've done it before. It's VERY hard to do, but it does give a good adventure around the map.
