What is scouting?
Scouting is an activity where you can collect rewards 5 times a day from various locations. However, locations have to be unlocked and leveled for their better rewards. The community as a whole will collectively work to unlock and upgrade these locations. Entries cannot fail. Scouting can be represented as your character searching through an area. They do not need to have any items present. You can scount in area you like, however know that the loot pool for this prompt is used for all entries, and not specific to that region. Additionally, if you scout in an area that is locked your points will go towards unlocking that location. Loot granted in this prompt will include all unlocked regions with the exception of the Farm Lands. When a new region is unlocked, that regions items are entered into the pool.
You can go here to scout, and here to read more about the different locations.

Prompts

- Your character is exploring this region, and they come across a cave or other interesting location
- Your character is scoping out a new den/nest/home location and they encounter an enemy or rival.
- They have been tasked with retrieving an item for another character (real or npc).
