I took some time to check out the collection pieces from the broker and to my surprise most of the pieces sold for 1 – 5 silver. so i bought them up and completed the quests. Now at lvl 22 and approx 21%, I completed :
plain butterfly
spotted butterfly
striped butterfly
MY BUTTERFLY COLLECTION
spotter spider
striped spider
shiny shard – nice jewelry item
chipped shard
pristine shard – nice jewelry item
and when i was done .. 20 mins TOPS .. from the broker in N.Qeynos to the collector, I was at 89% exp
this could not have cost me anymore than 5 gold.
just an FYI. hope it helps.
