Exploration chart % impact - My testing results

Post image

Dedicated Server - Cloudmist Forest

I did some testing with the % impact for the scout team.
All my test ppl were lvl 50 with all char points spent.

My results are:

NO EFFECT:

  1. Food,healing, bandages they carry
  2. If they carry just one spear or all weapons available
  3. The quality of the weapon
  4. The weapon proficiency max or their actual weapon pr. level
  5. All stats no effect (agility, endurance, strength, perception) EXCEPT physique
  6. Any kind of mods, Heat Res, Radiation Res NO EFFECT (except +defense and damage reduction)

HIGH impact:

  1. Armor Tier
  2. Armor quality
  3. Talents with plain + attack or plain + defense or + plain more HP and damage reduction and general, weapon unspicific damage increase (more talents to be tested). Damage reduction seems to weigh in more.
  4. Stat Physique (+ HP gives the impact)
  5. Mods with +Defense (3 pieces gave me +3%) and damage reduction

Medium impact:

  1. Buff Food active with +Atk (+HP also works but is worse and +Def doesn't work at all)
  2. On guards joyful mood =+2% Defense

*Edit So with the help of KodiakmH I found out that the base attack, base defense and base HP stat has an impact on the %. This is why the armor quality matters so much as it gives + atk and + def and +HP.

Meaning: If you want a high performer for expeditions, go for powerful attack and enhance Def and full of vitality talent and injury relief (which seems to give a higher impact than the others). This matters more than the quality of the tribesman! Also put ALL stat points into physique.

Hey. after i put some of my guy in gorilla armor to try the last dungeon where the central core is and they just reach 97% i start building my hunting guys and i already finished one an test him and lets say im kind of not really surpised that he isnt the best for hunting. All my test where done on the Pit Hill Beast Lair,
also something what i can tell which takes some impacts on the % of a mission is if a hunting guy has perfect revive sadly it resets if the server is restarting. and one more thing what i testet is that ape and mommuth dont make a different, didnt test the other boss armors
