A collect the pieces plot is a plot 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 recover the pieces plot-based work is a crystal.

Explanation

There are several forms:

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.
