This mini-game allows characters to help explore and map the island of New Ognos; it is often a high risk but also high reward experience.
Process
- Fill out the template below to initiate the mini-game; this can be done on the Support Board or on Discord.
- The Support Team will use an Expeditions Generator to generate results; you will receive a prompt for each day of travel.
- You must reply to at least one prompt for every 2 days (10 days of travel = 5 prompt replies), answering all prompts will grant you bonuses.
- Notify Support via your support channel when you're ready to finalize your results!
Funding
- All Expeditions require a coin pouch, from which all losses will be deducted and all earnings will be added.
- You can choose to fund your own Expedition, or receive funding from one of our Guilds.
- If you fund your own Expedition, you can risk your full bank or set a specific cap.
- If you choose Guild Funding, you will receive 100c per day, per character participating.
- A solo explorer exploring for 3 days will receive a starting purse of 300c; a party of two exploring for 3 days will receive a starting purse of 600c.
- At the end of your adventure, the Guild will negotiate with you for a percentage of your earnings.
- Your Expedition will end if you run out of funds.
Areas & Discovery
- Characters can start your expedition in any of the known areas, currently the Beach, Forest, or Mountain Ring. These areas are partially mapped, but there is still plenty to discover. Think of it as filling in the "gaps" left in the framework we've provided! You can see more about the known areas on the Maps page and explained in more detail on the Island Information page; you can also see species, landmarks, etc. in the Databases section of the Resources area on the site.
- Characters will typically make new discoveries in their selected area; this may include, but is not limited to: new animal or plant species, landmarks, and Lostholds. Support will tell you what type of discovery you've made but there are few restrictions otherwise! If you have any trouble coming up with ideas for your discovery, please ask Support; we can provide you some basic details that you can elaborate on, or even create a fuller description that your character can name, if that's easier.
- If your character heads towards a boundary (for example, you set Area to "Forest, heading northeast"), you might unlock a new section of the island! If a new part of the island is unlocked, the game will "pause" and we will ask you to select the new environment from a generated list of potential biomes; you may also provide suggestions, if you have other ideas. Once the new area is determined, your final roll(s) will be completed and all results will be set in this new area.
Rewards
- Coin purses are split evenly amongst all participants, you can work out alternate arrangements privately if desired.
- Items, pets, progression, etc. will be kept by the individual who earned it, unless other arrangements are made.
