Collector’s Cove is a relaxing game that focuses on collecting, building, and showing off items. What makes this game different is that the main goal is to find all the special Fish and Crops, called Fabled Species. To do this, you first discover their normal versions, then complete tasks in the game to catch their super-rare versions.

For crops, you plant many of each type to learn how to make special fertilizers. Then, you use those fertilizers multiple times to find out what is needed to grow the Fabled Species. You can also learn about them early by meeting certain requirements without doing all the steps. Here’s a list of all the Fabled Crops in Collector’s Cove and how to get them:
