Expeditions

All 18 expeditions, ordered by the team strength the game recommends — from the first one you can clear to The World Tree's Forbidden Area at 2,100,000. Most are gated on an element as well as on strength, and the element gate is the one that actually stops people.

The element count is how many Pals of that element the team must contain — not a suggestion. If an expedition wants 20 Fire Pals and you have twelve, no amount of team strength opens it, which is what makes the where-to-find pages the fastest route through a stuck expedition. There are 288 Pals in total to draw from.
