| A '''collect the pieces plot''' is a ] in which the objective is to reassemble some item (which generally has mystical powers) which has been broken up in some fashion. A common object in a collect the pieces plot is a crystal. It is particularly useful for creating a long, segmented story such as those in ]s and ]s, because each segment with its unique challenges can be dedicated to the location of a single piece. | |||
| ==Forms== | |||
| There are two main forms of collect the pieces plots: | |||
| '''Total recovery:''' | |||
| *A total loss of the item, which results in many sub quests for the pieces. Each sub-quest can have a completely different storyline to it, although each ends in a recovery of one of the pieces. | |||
| '''Partial recovery:''' | |||
| *Only part of the item is missing, but the whole still cannot function without the missing portion. | |||
