## :point\_right: The Basics of Scouting

* **Purpose:** Send your Derps and Preds, supported by Derplings and Derp Apes, across Derpetonia's seven distinct regions to collect crafting materials.
* **Action Slots:** All scouting quests at launch require 1 action slot.
* **Duration:** All scouting quests last for 4 hours.
* **Difficulty:** More difficult scouting quests award rarer materials and also allow for the use of more characters per quest
* **Sacred Materials**: Special materials needed for mystical, legendary, and unique blueprints have a low chance of being looted from scouting adventures
