Grateful Shell Collector

* Standard
* Ascended

The **Grateful Shell Collector** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Sanctuary who offers the  Grateful expression. They are found in Sanctuary Islands, on the main island at the base of the waterfall where its river runs into the sea. The cosmetics offered by this spirit are a  Cape,  Hair (hat), and a  Wooden Deck Chairs (Prop).

## Memory

The Grateful Shell Collector spirit can be found in Sanctuary Islands at the entrance of a large cave, located at sea level and to the left side of the main island if entering from Bird Nest. This spirit is a standard memory quest with 7 memory fragments, with a 15-minute overall time limit.

As you relive its memory, you follow the Grateful Shell Collector through the cave. The spirit is looking for shells, climbing up to the top of the cave as they search. Sanctuary Guide joins the Grateful Shell Collector near the higher opening of the cave, and the two venture into one of the long and winding tunnels above the cave mouth. After they exit the tunnel, Sanctuary Guide offers a shell to the Grateful Shell Collector.

At the end of the memory, the Grateful Shell Collector and Sanctuary Guide stand in the shallow water of the beach, continuing their search for seashells. The seasonal guide then approaches the spirit with another discovered shell. The Grateful Shell Collector bows their head and shakes their clasped hands in thanks.

## Expression

The  Grateful expression has 4 levels.

Grateful Level 1Grateful Level 2Grateful Level 3Grateful Level 4
* Level 1 will make your avatar bring both hands up to press against your face as if happy or pleased, and will then make your avatar bow their head and bring their hands together.
* Level 2 makes the same motion as Level 1, with the additional effects of a heart above the head during the first half of the expression, and a shower of light particles falling from the avatar's clasped hands during the second half of the expression.
* Level 3 will make your avatar pat their hands over their chest a few times before spreading their arms wide in a gesture of thanks.
* Level 4 makes the same motion as Level 3, with the additional effects of multiple hearts surrounding the avatar and light particles following their hand movements.

As a Traveling Spirit, the prices of the three expression upgrades were the standard 4 , 3 , and 6 . During the Season, Levels 2 and 4 were free, but were only available to Season Pass holders.
