- Top tips and tricks to succeed
Getting Started with the Great Expedition
The Great Expedition is straightforward to play, making it a favorite among players. Each day, you are provided with one free die to roll, and you can earn up to six additional dice by completing daily activity milestones (1 die at 20 points, 2 at 50 points, and 3 at 110 points). Rolling the dice moves you around the board, and landing on various tiles yields rewards.
The Menus of the Event
There are four key menus to explore during the event:
- Great Expedition: This is the main gameplay board. Roll dice to move around and land on tiles with various rewards or effects.
- Expedition Trial: Tracks your progress and rewards you for completing specific numbers of laps around the board. Rewards increase as you complete more laps.
- Expedition Shop: Redeem your Expedition Medals for valuable items such as Blood of Ares, Magic Dice, Dragon Coins, and more. All unspent medals are converted to Expedition Chests after the event.
- Expedition Supply: This menu allows pay-to-play players to purchase special packages that accelerate progress and unlock premium rewards.
Tile Effects
Each tile on the board has a specific logo representing the reward or effect you’ll receive when you land on it. Some key tiles include:
- Wheat Tile: Grants resources and Expedition Medals.
- Treasure Chest Tile: Grants enhanced rewards. You can click on these tiles to preview the rewards before rolling.
- Question Mark Tile: Triggers a special event, such as receiving a Magic Dice, doubling your next reward, or moving forward/backward.
- Arrow Tile: Rewards you with 10 Expedition Medals and opens a shortcut, reducing the total tiles needed to complete a lap by 8.
Rewards for the Great Expedition Event
The Great Expedition offers two main sources of rewards: Expedition Medals and Quest Rewards. Additionally, players can access battle-pass-style rewards, though these require coining to unlock the best items.
Expedition Medals
Expedition Medals are the primary currency for this event. You earn them by landing on specific tiles or passing "Go." Medals can be exchanged in the Expedition Shop for valuable rewards, including:
- Blood of Ares
- Magic Dice
- Temporary Castle Decorations
- Tactic Scrolls
- Dragon Coins
Any unspent medals at the end of the event are automatically converted into Expedition Chests, which contain random rewards.

As you complete laps around the board, you unlock milestone rewards. These rewards increase with the number of laps completed. Here’s a breakdown:
