Precursor Orb

From Jak and Daxter Wiki

Precursor Orbs are Precursor Artifacts that are collected in all the Jak and Daxter games. In the first game, they are common and they can be traded for Power Cells. In Jak II, Daxter says that they are "worth a lot", implying rarity. There are a limited number of Precursor Orbs that can be collected in Jak II and Jak 3; however, in Jak X the player is able to accumulate hundreds of thousands of them.

They have the ability to defy gravity and their purpose is unknown. The writing on the top half translates "Naughty Dog" and the bottom half says "madman".
