Expedition

Expeditions are a Global Exclusive feature in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius added for the 1st year anniversary. They are found in the home menu along Craft, Espers, World Map.

Gameplay
Expeditions are an optional mini-game that allows players to earn items, materials, magicites and even equipment. Players send their units (party or otherwise stored) into missions where they spend some time away, ranging from a few minutes to several hours. Units sent this way will only return when the expedition ends or is cancelled, and they cannot be used for battle, very much akin to errands in several Tactics games.

Expeditions must be funded through a determined amount of Gil each and have several tiers (from D the lowest up to S the highest). The higher the tier the more difficult and rewarding the expedition. Players earn a unique item known as Tokens. Tokens have two purposes; first, hoarding them allows the player to meet weekly goals for rewards which can include Metal Gigantuars, Pots, Rare Summon Tickets and even Trust Moogles. These reset each week so the player should aim to get as many Tokens within that timeframe as possible. Secondly Tokens are the primary material for the Adventurer series of materias. The recipes are given for the very first tutorial expeditions after which the player must hoard Tokens in order to craft these materias which increase ATK, DEF, MAG and SPR. Higher grades provide greater bonuses but more Token and the previous level (i.e. Adventurer II requires Adventurer I and more Tokens).

Missions offer bonuses depending on the units sent which differs from each expedition. Some recommend using units original to Brave Exvius, others require units proficient in Magic, and so forth with the Bonus displayed upon selection. Some expeditions require few units while others can require as many as 4 or even more units at once. Upon selecting the expedition party the chance of success is displayed, with the chances being lower the tougher the mission. However additional items can be consumed in order to greatly enhance the chances of success, which can be Potions, Awakening Materials, Crafting Materials, etc. Even then it is not guaranteed the player will reach a 100% chance of success.

The player can only perform up to 4 expeditions at the same time with their progress visible in the expedition menu. Expedition time can be reduced through the use of Advance Token which reduce the time by 1 hour per Token. Another feature is Refresh which can display a new list of missions for the player. Refresh can only be done for free once per day, but can be done repeatedly through Advance Coins which are also earned through expeditions.

Units sent this way also earn experience upon returning. Equipments are not known to factor in the chances of success, although overall units of higher rank seem to perform better.
