What You Can Do In Expeditions

List of What You Can Do In Expeditions

  • Collect Monster Clues
  • Gather Items
  • Receive a Researcher Request
  • Catch Creatures
  • Hunt Smaller Monsters
  • Start Quests

Collect Monster Clues

Collect Monster Clues

While on an expedition, you will be able to collect Monster clues from the Monsters that are currently present in you area. This will improve your research level of the Monster, and will likely give you some investigation quests when you return.

Gather Items

Gather Items

You can also gather items while out on Expeditions. The items that you gather can be crafted into useful consumables that will aid you during hunts. Use the Gathering filter to collect these items for crafting.

Receive A Researcher's Request

You can also receive requests from Researchers that are present on the map with you. A researcher with a request will show up with a yellow exclamation point.

Catch Creatures

You can also capture small creatures that populate the map using your Capture Net. Once these creatures are caught, you will be able to place them into your room where you can interact with and feed them.

Hunt Smaller Monsters

Hunt Smaller Monsters

You can also choose to hunt smaller Monsters for their meat while out on an expedition. You can also opt to hunt large Monsters, but it may be less efficient since there is no big reward for defeating larger Monsters, unlike when in a quest.

Start Quests

Start Quests

Talking to the Handler at camps in the area will allow you to start Quests. Since you are already in the area, this will shorten the loading time. However, make sure to return to the base regularly to progress your Botanical Research!
