Explorer’s Outpost
Explorer’s Outpost#
The Explorer’s Outpost is a Village Building where Explorers gather to report their discoveries, earn rewards, and take on new challenges.
After obtaining the Atlas, the Explorer’s Guild Mentor will give you one final task: build an Explorer’s Outpost.
How to Build It#
The Explorer’s Outpost is built inside a Village, just like any other Building.
- Go to a Village you’ve already helped establish (or make a new one)
- Enter the Village and build on an Empty Plot.
- Open the Buildings list.
- Select Explorer’s Outpost and build it (you’ll need the required materials).
- Once built, [Enter] it.
“Welcome, fellow Explorer, and thank you for helping establish this Outpost! Do you have anything to report? Or perhaps you’d like to exchange some Guild Badges?”
What You Can Do Here#
The Explorer’s Outpost has four main functions:
- [Report]
- [Perks]
- [Requests]
- [Fast Travel].
Report#
The [Report] tab is where you submit completed Islands from your Atlas.
- An Island must be fully explored (100%) before it can be reported.
- That means finding all the different possible Gatherables and Animals of that Island type.
- Each reported Island earns you Gold.
- The more Islands you report, the more Perks become available to purchase (they unlock at different thresholds of Islands reported).
Tip: Make a habit of reporting Islands whenever you visit an Explorer’s Outpost.
Explorer Perks#
The [Perks] tab lets you spend Guild Badges on powerful permanent upgrades.
Check the Perks for more info about these.
-> Guild Badges are earned by completing Guild Requests (see below).
Guild Requests (Unlocked with a Perk)#
The [Requests] tab contains Guild Requests: optional challenges issued by the Explorer’s Guild.
Completing them rewards you with Gold and Experience.
Requests are organized into Ranks (I through V, plus a Secret rank).
Higher Ranks must be unlocked by purchasing the corresponding Explorer Perk.
Request Categories#

|---|---|
| Explore Islands | Fully explore a set number of islands of a specific type |
| Build Buildings | Construct buildings across Villages |

Fast Travel#
Once you unlock the Outposts Fast Travel Explorer Perk, the Fast Travel tab becomes available.
It lets you jump directly between any Explorer’s Outpost you’ve previously visited, saving a lot of sailing time as your network of Villages grows.
