# Expeditions ## Introductory Lore The Katsu Land is a very remote region. There is always a need for Cattos residing there to go on expeditions, to bring back valuable resources in order to sustain everyone's livelihood. Everyday, the Cattos go on expeditions and bring back raw materials, artefacts, and of course all kinds of katsu delicacies to the Catto Elders, in exchange for some sweet $KATSU! On their daily expeditions, the Cattos could encounter danger and foes, or friends and companions. Every decision during the expeditions will influence the success, or result in a failure. Every experience on an expedition makes a Catto stronger, and with sufficient experience, the Catto can visit the Catto Elders to level up. ## Mechanics Each Catto can be sent on an expedition. An expedition lasts for **6 hours**. After which, player has to conclude the expedition and claim experience and rewards if any. There is no cooldown, and player can immediately send the Catto for another expedition Upon setting out, three things could happen: * A non-eventful expedition * Catto encounters a companion that grants bonus experience points and $KATSU tokens * Catto encounters a foe ### Smooth Expedition A non-eventful, but successful expedition. Rewards **1 experience point**, and **100 $KATSU**. ### Encounters Companion Catto encounters a companion along the way, and will be able to bring back more resources from the expedition. Rewards **2 experience points**, and **200 $KATSU**. ### Encounters Foe Catto encounters a foe along the way, and will need to battle it out. The foe will have a random level. In order to win, Catto needs to have a level that is higher than that of the foe. Should Catto's level be equal or below the foe, player has a chance to reinforce by hiring a mercenary. The mercenary will have a random level. If the summation of levels of Catto and mercenary is higher than that of the foe, player wins. **Hiring a mercenary** costs **100 $KATSU** from the player. Rewards **0 experience point**, and **10 $KATSU** if player **loses without reinforcement** from mercenary. Rewards **1 experience point**, and **50 $KATSU** if player **loses with reinforcement** from mercenary. Rewards **5 experience points**, and **500 $KATSU** if player **wins**. Mercenary (token owners of other collections) will earn 10 $KATSU whenever their tokens are chosen at random during expeditions. ## Companions & Foes Companions and foes will feature NFTs from other collections from Fantom. Token owners of companions and foes will be able to claim a portion of $KATSU per expedition. The companions and foes collections are chosen among Catto Katsu and Katsu.Land's early supporters and adopters, along with some other practical criteria such as the project's smart contract compatibility with ours (we value all of them). ### List of Companions Funky Tiger Mob - 0xA3034DbEbB9826f6390FA4418417fca43A3B9a87 RookieBears - 0xA7C6F112B19277b02c55Bd52a76d7AF2Fb36f9f1 FantomFrogs - 0x3C997415D8b8fadf919Ea6d5acc089Ad59a6B2e2 ### List of Foes Creatures Of The Cave - 0xDAC2031173c07BD622759051Df373b708A1acbcE FantomSquad - 0xb680b9861f73B30d86BdC248376d9566ade3FD35 --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
