I've read up a lot on collectibles on various forums for one reason: I'm hardly getting them.
I'm almost a level 42 in BS and have only received two completed collectibles (both the same! The chef attire!). I've read that they are given at random, but doing certain things such as cooking, buying decorations, and tipping will give you a higher chance of getting certain ones. I've seen a lot of people with much lower levels than me have tons of the pot racks and bread baskets and such that you get, while I'm not even close. I have like 50 chef hats, but not a single floral collectible.
Just wondering TL, how random the collectibles really are, or if I'm just not quite getting something. You'd think by my level, a level in which a lot of people are generally ready to give up the game, id have a bit more to show.
