They have a low chance of being looted from scouting only if you reach 100% of the power score requirement of the quest. *** ### 🌲 **Scouting – Enhanced Flexibility in Season 1.5** You now have the option to choose among three scouting durations: * 4 hours → 4 Fame * 12 hours → 9 Fame * 24 hours → 16 Fame Material rewards remain the same regardless of the quest duration, allowing you to pick the most convenient length without sacrificing valuable crafting materials. However, Fame rewards will vary based on the time you commit run shorter quests for quicker Fame gains or opt for longer missions for a more relaxed approach that fits your schedule.
