Exploration Area Tiles

## Summary

The **Rainforest & Marsh Exploration Area Tiles** were introduced on July 12, 2023 when the first section of the Giant Snail map located in the upper section of Home was unlocked.

The requirement to unlock the first section of the Giant Snail map is to have achieved a minimum of 5,612 Elf Power to remove the Wicked Thorns covering the land.

There are two types of exploration area tiles that will be found in the Home map, locked and movable. The Exploration Stages use the locked version.

## Exploration Area Tiles (Locked)

There are 440 exploration area tiles (locked) located on the Giant Snail map.

* Marsh Animals sections have a total of 108 tiles.
* Marsh Plants sections have a total of 40 tiles.
* Rainforest Animals sections have a total of 108 tiles.
* Rainforest Plants sections have a total of 141 tiles.
* Rainforest Insects sections have a total of 43 tiles.

Each of the tiles has a requirement for a specific Elf and level to perform 1 - 30 exploration quests. If there is a level requirement any elf of that level or higher can perform the exploration.

The exploration area tiles (locked) will each reward one Level 1 chest when each of it's explorations has been completed. The chest will be based on the chain which the image on the locked tile belongs to.

* Marsh Animal Chest
* Marsh Plant Chest
* Rainforest Animal Chest
* Rainforest Insect Chest
* Rainforest Plant Chest

When the final exploration has been completed the tile will disappear leaving behind a Magic Book which is an Exploration Stage Entrance to the Exploration Stages as well as the chest.

* Exploration Area Tiles with multiple explorable times will leave behind a Magic Book - Level 3 upon the final completion.
* Exploration Area Tiles with only one explorable time will leave behind a Magic Book - Level 4 upon the final completion.

## Exploration Area Tiles (Movable)

If a Magic Book is not used within it's specified time it will expire, leaving behind an Exploration Area Tile (Movable). These tiles can be moved freely to any location on the Home map.

These tiles can also be gained as a possible reward upon completing the Rainforest & Marsh Exploration Stages.

The movable tiles each offer one explorable quest which can be performed by Any Elf of Any Level. The quest takes two hours to complete.

When the quest is completed they will give many level 1 items for it's associated chain which is based on the tile image.

## How to Complete Exploration Quests

All of the Explorable Quests offer five ways to complete the quest.

1. Wait for the Elf to complete the exploration which takes the entire time of the quest.
2. Pay the amount of stones requested.
3. Pay the amount of Golden Leaves - Level1 requested.
4. Use the Queen's Blessing to take the requested item or items from the map as payment.
5. Watch a video to reduce some of the exploration time. (NOTE: This may require watching a lot of videos. Silver Leaves can be used as an alternative way to pay instead of watching the videos. The first Silver Leaf used will reduce two hours and subsequent Silver leaves will reduce one hour).
