Notes & Strategy
The Grand Survey — a limited-time event
This is Trail 1 of 10 in the Grand Survey, a limited-time cartographers' festival tied to the Exploring skill. It's not a normal quest chain — it lives on its own 🗺️ Event tab (next to Quests and the Weekly Board), and it only appears while the event is live. The tab shows a countdown to the end; once time runs out the trails disappear and any in-progress trail freezes.
How it works
- One trail at a time, in order. The ten trails are a single linear run — you can't start the next until you finish the current one, so there's only ever one Grand Survey quest to work on.
- It runs alongside your normal quest. Starting a Grand Survey trail does not replace your tracked story quest — the event progresses in the background (even offline) while you play, so you never have to choose between the two.
- Every quest rewards a Clue Scroll. Rarity climbs within each trail: Common (quests 1–3) → Uncommon (4–6) → Rare (7–9) → Epic (the finale). Ten trails × ten quests = 100 quests and 100 clue scrolls if you complete the whole event.
Entry requirement: you must have unlocked Exploring by completing The Cartographer's Summons (Episode III), since the rewards are clue scrolls and several steps ask you to survey.
The ten trails, in order:
- Trailhead · 2. Deeprock ·
- Coastal · 4. The Wilds ·
- Backroads · 6. Homestead ·
- Cavern · 8. Frontier ·
- Cartographer's Circuit · 10. The Grand Expedition
💡 Tip: Clue scrolls feed Exploring's Expeditions — each takes real time to solve (Epic clues the longest), so start solving them as they drop rather than hoarding. The event's value is the clue ladder, capped by an Epic Clue Scroll on every trail's final quest.
