When you start up the game, if you have items to complete a random collection, you will get a small pop up that says you have all the items required to complete that collection. If you want to seriously go for completing quests, then NEVER COMPLETE THOSE POP UP COLLECTIONS! I wish they would do away with those random collection pop ups as they confuse people.

When you combine a collection, you 'create' a new item. Some of those new items, but not all, can be used to make an artifact. It will use up the created item which may make it seem like you have not completed the quests for that collection when you actually have.

Some quests are easier than others to complete. I had one for the Rambutan (the first item in the Exotic fruits collection) that quite literally took me several months to finish. The only way to get it (besides as a random drop when visiting) was in curse mode in the Mill. So I would have to wait for the anomaly to get to curse mode, but then it would never drop. I must have tried 50 times before I finally got it. So yes, some quests can take a long time. And if you accidentally combine a collection when you are still working on the quests, it may be almost impossible to complete a the quests as you will be missing the first items from the collection that you have already completed the quests for.
