Did you check if there is a artifact item for the 5 collections you turned in Cathleen? Candy Cauldrons sounds like the collections for the haunted house artifact. Yes, that's absolutely correct, Talou. The Haunted House artifact is supposed to increase your chance of findings collection items and fixers by 55%.

In the past when I used one of these multi-day artifacts for finding collection items, specifically the Great Pyramid, it didn't seem to do much of anything. The drop rate was almost nil, and well below the Eagle Eye talisman which is supposed to have the same drop rate.

In frustration, I added a Seekers Star to it, and it was as if the Pyramid cancelled out the Star completely because, instead of the Star's almost guaranteed return, the drop rate stayed at close to 0, having to play a location several times before finally getting the quest item.

So now when I see one of the wonderful talismans or artifacts that's supposed to increase your chances of finding collection items, my general reaction is "pffft!" 😅😃

That was before I found this site, so I'd be curious to hear what others' experiences have been...
