@crinrict Do you know if there are any updates for this issue? I know that you had said you were going to check back in May 2021, but I also know that this is not the only issue that you have had to deal with. Just to refresh - this issue is about not being able to get any of the wand recolors without going into buydebug. They do not drop in battles and they are never available for purchase at the store. I know that the collection being marked as completed before all recolors are found is by design as you mentioned - it is pretty common in these collections for them to be marked as completed with a certain base number of items being found even if the whole collection is not found - but this is not the issue that we are trying to convey here. It looks like the recolors just never were coded to drop in battles or to be purchased at the store. If I cheat then I can get them in buydebug to fully complete the collection, but I really want to get them through normal game play. Thanks so much for your time and help.
@crinrictThank you for letting us know that it has EA's attention. Hopefully it is fixed soon. Happy New Year to you as well!! 🙂
Hello,
Is this still being treated as a bug on EA's side?
Out of curiosity, I went through the tuning files of the game just to see if the wands were available as loot in any scenario and am finding that, no, these recolors are not listed as a loot option in any RandomWeightedLoot table or PurchasePickerInteraction. The only place they exist is in buydebug.
These are not available as loot in Magic Duels, Market Stalls, Familiar Foraging, Magic Packages, or from Search for Tomes interaction:
229005 magicWand_GP08GEN01_set2 (Wand of the Forgotten)
229006 magicWand_GP08GEN02_set2 (Wand of The Sylvan Forest)
229060 magicWand_GP08GEN03_set2 (Wood Wand)
229061 magicWand_GP08GEN04_set2 (Wand of Astral Creation)
229062 magicWand_GP08GEN05_set2 (Wand of The Elementals)
229063 magicWand_GP08GEN06_set2 (Natural Wand)
229064 magicWand_GP08GEN07_set2 (Marble Wand)
229065 magicWand_GP08GEN08_set2 (Ancient Wood Wand)
229066 magicWand_GP08GEN09_set2 (Bone Wand)
229067 magicWand_GP08GEN10_set2 (Magician's Wand)
All other Magical Artifacts are available in at least one of the above scenarios.
@RiahPaygeThank you for compiling that list. This seems to confirm what a lot of us have been saying - the game isn’t coded to drop those items.
@crinrict I am tagging you in this reply to ask you to please look at @RiahPayge‘s post. He/she looked through the tuning files and it appears that those wands that we cannot seem to get are not included. Hopefully this is helpful in identifying the issue. And I apologize if it was inappropriate to tag you, but I am hoping that this is helpful. Thank you.
@crinrictThank you for letting me know. Do you know how I can tell who the CM is for this issue? I see that you mentioned a Nick in previous replies, but I am unsure how to find his handle to tag him. I truly appreciate your help and apologize for being a pest. Thanks.

If I still have this same issue, should I send a private message to @TheSimsDirect?
I'm also still having this issue - up to date on all patches, etc. and never used mods. Has anyone ever gotten an official response on how to fix it or what to do so we can get them all?
Still an issue. I dont know why they just dont tag them properly, now that the issue have been found...
I agree. I am just an amateur programmer, but it seems like the fix is to just tag the rest of the recolors as part of the collection.
