-The basics of selecting an expedition involve first looking at the [[main_map|Main Map]] and the [[region|Zone Descriptions]].  Then choosing a place that might be a good candidate to look for treasure.  Choose a Zone whose [[EDL|Encounter Difficulty Level]] is close to your characters' levels.  A lower EDL will be easier, but less rewarding, a higher EDL will be harder but more rewarding.  A set of Ruins might have buried treasure; a Cave might have a dragon or troll; a Forest might have Owlbears or Elves (probably Owlbears).  Sites likes caves, ruins, dungeons, henges are likely to have more foes and treasure group together than would simply wandering around a zone.+The basics of selecting an expedition involve first looking at the [[main_map|Main Map]] and the [[region|Zone Descriptions]].  Then choosing a place that might be a good candidate to look for treasure.  Choose a Zone whose [[EDL|Encounter Difficulty Level]] is close to your characters' levels.  A lower EDL will be easier, but less rewarding, a higher EDL will be harder but more rewarding.  A set of Ruins might have buried treasure; a Cave might have a dragon or troll; a Forest might have Owlbears or Elves (probably Owlbears).  Sites likes caves, ruins, dungeons, henges are likely to have more foes and treasure grouped together than would simply wandering around a zone.
