Quick answer
A Discovery Event reveals a fog-covered region and requires a completed ship with crew and a captain. Its exact placement can vary because authored stories and actions shape each campaign.
What to do
- Finish a ship and assign both crew and a captain before setting out.
- Sail toward fog-covered regions and interact with the revealed event.
- Use a Crow's Nest when available; it can trigger a 20-coin discovery reward.
- Expect a region to become fogged again without losing the discovery principle you learned.
Gameplay details
- A Discovery Event is the map event a ship enters to reveal a fog-covered region.
- A fully constructed ship with a crew and captain is required to embark on an event.
- A revealed region can return to fog when no ship remains there for a while, but the original Principle choice is retained when rediscovered.
- entering a Discovery Event with a ship can trigger 20 Coins per Crow's Nest.
- The surrounding sea and mission placement vary between playthroughs, but the locations, stories, quests, and twists are authored rather than procedurally generated, and player actions can affect how they unfold.
Keep in mind
Sea and mission placement is not a fixed walkthrough coordinate. Use the event rules rather than expecting an identical map in every run.
