This guide covers how to unlock more destinations, meet their elemental requirements and build powerful Expedition teams without wasting resources on upgrades that make little or no difference.

Choose a destination from the Pal Expedition menu and assign enough suitable Pals to the team. Each destination displays:
Total Firepower determines the reward percentage shown at the bottom of the menu. Reaching the recommended amount allows the Expedition to operate effectively, while exceeding it continues to improve the rewards until that destination’s limit is reached.
The reward limit may differ between Expeditions. Continue adding stronger Pals until the displayed reward percentage stops increasing.
Additional Expedition destinations are primarily unlocked by defeating Tower Bosses. Each completed tower provides access to another destination with different requirements and rewards.
The early Expeditions have low or medium risk levels, while later destinations demand much stronger teams. Completing Tower Bosses on Hard Mode unlocks another group of high-risk Expeditions.
The first destination does not require a particular Pal type, so any available Pals can be dispatched. Later Expeditions introduce elemental requirements and increasingly demanding Firepower recommendations.
Possible rewards are displayed on the right side of the destination menu. These vary between Expeditions and can include:
Ancient Pal Manuscripts are particularly valuable because they are used at the Pal Labor Research Laboratory to unlock improvements for base productivity and other research.
Early Expeditions can provide Ancient Civilization Parts, while higher tiers begin offering Ancient Civilization Cores. Cores can be difficult to obtain earlier in your progression, making Expeditions a useful repeatable source before they become easier to collect around the World Tree.
Check the possible rewards before dispatching a team, especially when deciding between several available destinations.
Most Expeditions require a certain number of Pals belonging to a specific element. The required type is displayed alongside the destination’s duration and recommended Firepower.
A Pal only needs to possess the requested element to qualify. Dual-element Pals also work, provided one of their two elements matches the requirement.
For example, 
Dandilord is a Grass and Dark Pal. It can be assigned to an Expedition requiring Grass Pals or one requiring Dark Pals, making it more flexible than a single element option.
Having two elements does not provide a meaningful Firepower advantage by itself. The main benefit of dual-element Pals is that they can be used across a wider selection of Expeditions.
Meet the elemental requirement first, then fill the team with your strongest suitable Pals to increase its Total Firepower and reward percentage.
Several parts of a Pal were tested to determine what actually affects its Expedition Firepower. Some upgrades make an enormous difference, while others provide little or no improvement.
Because Passive and Active Skills make no difference, you do not need to breed perfect combat Pals specifically for Expeditions. This makes it much easier to prepare large teams, as unwanted breeding results can still become useful Expedition workers.
Focus on using high level Pals that match the required element, then condense duplicates when you need to push your Firepower higher. IVs, Trust and Awakening can provide some extra Firepower, but they should not be prioritized over levels and Condensing.
