Know what you're chasing

What should the player know about improved rewards before investing?

Selected directionNew in Edition 3

The direction

Players should know enough to choose a dungeon for a purpose. A dungeon can have identifiable chase materials - for example rare Lotus-petal-like components, evolution ingredients or permanent-progression materials - while exact drop outcomes remain uncertain. The game should support both frequent useful loot and true jackpot/chase drops. Ordinary loot stays relevant because it can become cargo, ship/town supplies, trade value, crafting inputs or quest resources.

The original question’s prompt

Exact bonus, likely material families, rarity bands, a guaranteed special reward, or partial mystery?

Examples in a prompt are not decisions unless the answer chooses them.

Still to decide in this chapter

Exact modifier combinations, a possible one-item insurance mechanic, rare emergency extraction and Cozy/Brave reward ratios still need tuning.
