ROB RUN Collections Guide: Recipes, Packing and Cargo Delivery

A marked item is a reason to inspect a recipe, not a command to hoard it forever. The useful collection is the one whose missing quantities and delivery you can complete.

Collection Table requires a house and plot. Research it, then buy it through the base laptop: the listed table values are $5,000 research and $15,000 purchase. The table is not a substitute for its placement requirements.

Quick individual sales can fund this setup early. Once the base and table are ready, marked ingredients become worth comparing as a set rather than automatically selling on the next Fence visit.

Inventory markers identify items needed by current collections. Open the matching table tab to see what remains, then deposit the required quantities. Similar-looking items do not substitute for exact membership.

The worked basic recipe below combines three specific bottles and ten Alcohol items. It illustrates why saving one marked item does not mean you can immediately pack the set: every ingredient must be present. The collection catalogue supplies all 34 recipes and their reward levels.

Open the Collection Table and match each required item to its displayed count. Deposit the missing quantities. Once the complete set is ready, pack it; the output appears as a physical Collection Crate on the table. Pick up that cargo separately.

The example below uses the Spanish interface, but the sequence is visible: missing ingredients, completed packing, then cargo pickup. The recipe and displayed offer belong to that run; use the exact inputs in your current collection.

When every input is deposited, packing creates a Collection Crate as cargo on the table. This is a new handling stage: you have concentrated several ingredients into one object. Plan the delivery before lifting it.

Take the crate to the Smuggler. Criminal level influences payout, so confirm the offer rather than treating an estimated base reward as the final payment. Drawing a weapon drops the crate, and Police can seize it. Losing the crate loses the assembled inputs together.

Carry the packed crate to a vehicle with a free cargo slot, deliver it to the Smuggler and complete the sale. Collect the cash from the back of the van before leaving. Packing at home, handing over cargo and taking payment are three different completion checks.

Only basic sets are initially available. Ordered upgrade documents open additional sets, with basic, Rare and Unique crate grades across 34 documented recipes. Researching the table alone does not grant every collection.

Refresh replaces a collection and then applies a cooldown. Its duration is unknown, so no accurate refresh timer can be supplied. Check the current recipe requirements before replacing a set you were already close to finishing.

Compare the whole crate reward with the sale value of every ingredient. Inputs you found still have a value: using them gives up their individual sales. Acquiring a missing ingredient can also add cost or another run.

The recipe diagram uses known base ingredient resale to make that comparison visible. The margin is not guaranteed net profit: the actual offer, acquisition, delivery and loss conditions still apply. Keeping a recipe unfinished indefinitely ties up storage that could support other income.

Imagine all but one recipe input are already stored. The relevant comparison is the complete crate offer minus the individual sale values of all inputs, then any extra cost of acquiring the missing item. The ingredients already found still have a resale alternative; treating them as free exaggerates the collection advantage.

Use the worked recipe earlier in this guide for its exact ingredient quantities and known base-value comparison. If completing the missing input would require another expensive or inaccessible target, selling the current items may be the more usable outcome. Refreshing replaces the recipe and introduces a cooldown, so inspect the remaining quantities before doing it.
