I've got all the collectible items but one beetle. is there something special that happens we you get all of them? I heard that the fuzzed out part of the map becomes available...it that true?

Hum...no. What happens with the collectibles is that, when you reach the level 3 of Exploration, you may see the items on the Map. When you have all the items of all the collections, the population of your village may reach 115 peoples.

that's a bummer...so i've basically completed this game.

Just remember you can never really finish the game. You will still have your island events that can change your game drasticly!! You will also be able to keep ringing the gong.

... And, if you haven't done so already, get 50 Elders (more if you're very, very lucky).

Oh yh i forgot the elders! How could i forget them!!
