How to pin

1. 1

   Find a reportable discovery

   After the expedition starts, Discord logs appear in the Progress log. Grottos, monster camps, and ruins rest spots show under Report to town hall.

2. 2

   Place on map

   Click Place on map for that entry. The map switches to the correct square and highlights the quadrant in amber.

3. 3

   Click inside the quadrant

   Click inside the highlighted quadrant (e.g. Q3). Clicks outside show: *Click inside the highlighted quadrant…*

4. 4

   Done

   The pin saves to the database, moves to Already on map, and appears on the main Map and this expedition's map.

When the party is in a secured quadrant (secured this expedition) and no path exists for the current square yet, the Draw path on map block appears.

• Download square image or Download [Square] [Quadrant] quadrant — PNG of base map (and existing path if any)
• Draw your route, save (PNG recommended)
• Choose image → Upload path image — sends party ID, square, and quadrant to the server
• Resultpath overlays this expedition's map and the main Map · block hides for that square after upload

Path upload steps

   Secure this quadrant

   In Discord, /explore secure the quadrant you are currently in — it must show secured on the dashboard (Area status).

2. 2

   Download

   On the expedition page, use Download square image or Download [Square] [Quadrant] quadrant.

3. 3

   Draw & save

   Draw your route in any image editor (e.g. Paint) and save as PNG.

You can pin locations such as character homes on the main Map without being part of an expedition. Expedition pins (grottos, camps, ruin rests) flow here after Report to town hall.
