How to Fill the Collector’s Box in Heartopia Echo of Ancients

If you are participating in the Echo of Ancients event in Heartopia, the Collector’s Box is one of the features you should use to earn Festival Tokens.

The system is fairly simple. You collect the items requested by the Collector’s Box, place them into the available slots, and submit your contribution. Once the requirements are completed, you receive Festival Tokens that can be used to exchange for various rewards during the festival.

However, some of the required resources may be useful for other activities, so it is important to manage your inventory before submitting everything you have.

Where to Find the Collector’s Box

The first thing you need to know is the location of the Collector’s Box.

You can find your own Collector’s Box directly in front of your house. You do not need to travel to a special event location just to access it.

Simply return to your home and look around the area in front of your house. Once you find the box, interact with it to open the contribution menu.

There is also an interesting social feature connected to this system. You can see Collector’s Boxes belonging to other players in front of their houses as well.

This means you can help other players by contributing some of the resources they need. So, if you have extra items in your inventory, you can use them to support another player’s Collector’s Box instead of letting those resources sit unused.

Items Required for the Collector’s Box

After opening the Collector’s Box, you will see several categories of items that need to be filled.

The exact requirements can change, so always check the current request shown by the box before using your resources.

Special Food

The first category is Special Food.

For this part, you need to contribute food related to the Echo of Ancients event. Make sure that the food you select matches the requirement displayed in the Collector’s Box.

If you have already prepared some event-themed food, this is a good opportunity to use your extra stock.

However, do not immediately spend all of your food if you only have a small amount. Some resources can become useful again when the event requirements are updated.

Fish

The next category requires you to contribute specific fish.

For example, one of the requests can ask for four Garfish. When this happens, you simply need to catch the requested fish and add the required amount to the corresponding slot.

You do not necessarily need to use valuable fish for this type of requirement. If a common or one-star fish satisfies the request, it can be a practical choice.

This is especially useful if you have rare fish in your collection. Instead of using valuable catches, keep them in your inventory and submit easier fish whenever they meet the requirements.

Insects

The Collector’s Box can also require a certain number of insects.

Just like the fish requirement, you need to provide the requested type and reach the quota shown in the box.

Before submitting insects, check how many you currently have. If you only own a small number of a particular insect, it may be better to keep some of them rather than using your entire collection.

This can help you avoid having to search for the same rare insect again when a future festival request requires it.

Flowers and Fruits

The final category includes flowers and fruits.

You may be asked to provide different types of these resources. One example is pears, which can be required as part of the Collector’s Box contribution.

Flowers and fruits can generally be collected during normal gameplay, but you should still pay attention to your remaining stock.

If you have plenty of a particular fruit or flower, using some for the event is usually not a problem. If your supply is limited, keep a few in reserve for future requests.

Do Not Spend All of Your Rare Items

One of the most useful tips for the Collector’s Box is to avoid treating every requested item as something you must completely empty from your inventory.

The goal is to earn Festival Tokens, but some resources may take time to obtain again.

For example, if the box asks for insects that you rarely find, submitting your entire stock may leave you with nothing when the requirements change.

The same applies to difficult-to-catch fish or other resources that are not easy to replace.

A better strategy is to use surplus resources whenever possible. If you have several copies of an item, contribute the amount required while keeping some extras for later.

This is particularly important because the Collector’s Box will be updated progressively each week. The requirements you see now may not be the same as the requirements available in the following week.

Keeping some resources in reserve gives you more flexibility when the new requests appear.

How to Submit the Collector’s Box

Once you have collected everything requested by the box, place each item into its corresponding slot.

Check the requirements one more time to make sure that all categories have been filled correctly.

When everything is ready, press the Submit button.

After submitting the required resources, you will receive Festival Tokens as the reward.

You can then use these tokens to exchange for the various rewards available during the Echo of Ancients festival.

Since the Collector’s Box requirements are updated over time, it is worth checking the box regularly rather than only using it once.

Can You Fill Other Players’ Boxes?

Yes. The Collector’s Box system also allows you to interact with boxes belonging to other players.

If you visit another player’s house and see their Collector’s Box, you can open it and contribute items when you have the resources they need.

This can be useful if you have extra materials that you do not currently need. It also provides a simple way to help other players complete their festival contributions.

However, remember that your own resources are limited. Helping another player is optional, so prioritize your inventory based on your own upcoming needs.

Best Way to Use the Collector’s Box

The easiest way to make good use of this feature is to check the Collector’s Box whenever you return home.

Look at the current requirements first, then decide which resources you can safely contribute.

There is no need to spend rare items just because they are requested. If you have an easier alternative that meets the requirement, use the more common resource instead.

You should also keep some fish, insects, flowers, fruits, and other useful materials in your inventory for future weeks.

By doing this, you can continue contributing to the Collector’s Box even after the event requirements change.

Overall, the Collector’s Box is a convenient way to turn extra resources into Festival Tokens during the Echo of Ancients event. Find the box in front of your house, check the requested categories, submit the required items, and collect your tokens.

Just remember to manage your inventory carefully. Saving some rare resources for the next weekly update can make the festival much easier to complete over time.
