"Collection" is a loose term that may refer to:

- "Bundle" - items are released together, acquiring the bundle or package grants the player all items in the package at once or in very quick succession. Such bundles are usually announced by game staff. Information on bundle content is in the "notes" section of articles, with a short mention in the "acquisition" section.
- "Collection": Applies to related Prize Box items or entities encountered exclusively during events. This information is in the "notes" section of articles, and sometimes in the "acquisition" section.
- "Family: Entities share similar themes, like "culinary." Context is user-based. Family categories are sometimes linked to in the "notes" section of articles. Collections are generally sub-groups of families.
- "Set": items are very obviously related because they share similar names, stats, and abilities. Set information is only in the infobox.

Items can be related in other ways, but these are generally less distinct and are usually mentioned somewhere on the page, like in an alchemy path and/or a category of some kind, such as "Weapons that can inflict Shock."

Sets and bundles do not have categories because sets and bundles are usually too small to warrant a category.

The above terms are generally colloquial, the context that defines them can be official, semi-offical, or unofficial. "Official" simply means that the context is somehow derived from staff via posts, support requests, and so on.
