## How to Play

To play Dragon Expedition you need to:

1. Choose unlocked expedition on the left-side menu. You will be presented with requirements/rewards and pre-selected dragons team.
2. The game doesn’t check whether you have those dragons, it’s up to you either to create new dragons / upgrade existing dragons or send the expedition without fulfilling them. You can still send expedition out without fulfilling additional requirements and then you will only get the reward specified above the dotted line.
3. Verify the dragons team, and if unhappy - change them.
4. Click 'Send' to send dragons to expedition.
5. You can cancel the expedition. You will not receive any rewards and the expedition timer (the length of time it takes to complete the expedition) will reset, but it will still be available to complete long as you cancel before all the expeditions reset. This can be useful if you accidentally send the wrong dragons or you send off dragons and then realize you need them for a different expedition.
6. Expedition can take any number of hours (usually 3/6/10/12 hours, depending on complexity), the game will let you know when any of expeditions finish.
7. Click 'Collect' to collect your reward.

### Notes

* The dragons can still harvest in game, however they are not available for any other expedition until they come back from the current one.
* The expedition’s contents/requirements reset every 24 hours. Your dragons can still complete their current journeys.
* Expedition Stars are to be used in Expedition Store, which is accessible from the pink cart on the Home Island or from the second top icon in Dragon Expedition Centre.
* Enhancement Gems are to be used to buy enhancement tickets in the optimized Enhancement Center.

## Tips and Tricks

Here you can find some tips and tricks on how to play:

* The pre-set dragons team in not always the most optimal one. The game tends to grab higher level and rarer dragons, even when not required. Check all available expeditions for requirements and first work on the hardest to achieve combinations.
* If you have a limited number of rare dragons (for example marked by scissors), required by more than one expedition, you might want to send one expedition first, wait till it finishes and then send the next one.
* It is possible that you won’t be able to satisfy main or additional requirements. You can purchase more dragons or upgrade existing ones to fulfil them. Otherwise:
	+ If it is additional ones - I recommend sending the dragons out anyway and getting the base reward.
	+ If it’s main ones, skip that expedition and come back next day.

## Expedition Store

The Expedition Store can be found in the Camp Center in the home island or in the upper left part of the playboard, on the right of the Expedition Stars.

The items in the store are refreshed every 3 days. The rarest and most costly ones are the decorations from other islands. The other item worth mentioning are constellation tokens, that can be used to buy constellation dragons. You might need to save stars for some time to get what you want. Fear not, if you see something once and don’t have enough currency to purchase, it will come back.

Example of items for sale in the store:

When we aggregate more information, we will put the pricing of various items on the store.

**PLEASE NOTE**: None of the decorations available on the Expedition Store give any presents or energy. There are decorations only.
