What to expect when you’re expeditioning

Overview

List of the expeditions and their challenges, some notes on what you’ll find there, but not a complete inventory.

Introduction

Each obstacle can be defeated by using one of two/three aspects to defeat it. The threshold for each level of skill and success chance is:

1 to 4 for 30%
5 to 9 for 70%
10 or above for 90%

Increments smaller than those listed above, or anything more than 10, will not make a difference. Nor will having more than one valid aspect for the obstacle. If you have three valid aspects for an obstacle, each a value of 4, it’s still only a 30% chance to pass because they’re all separate. However the same aspect from all followers are added together, so three followers each giving 4 of that aspect will count as 12, giving a 90% chance to pass.

If you fail at a curse obstacle, the curses can be defeated later with a high level Heart influence. You may want to find that influence first and preserve it through painting or talk before attempting an expedition with a curse.

The last vault of a location is repeatable, and gives similar (if not the same) rewards as other vaults of the same level.
