Expedition Station Math, Pushing Past the 100% Drop Cap
Most players stop optimizing expeditions the moment the UI shows a flat 100% success rate, leaving loot on the table.
The Pal Expedition Station shows a success percentage in its deployment UI, and it caps the displayed value at 100%. Because the tracker stops moving there, most players assume additional Pal power is wasted, it isn't.
Overshooting the cap
The underlying value keeps climbing past 100%. Deploying Pals whose combined stats push well beyond the threshold scales the quality, volume and tier of the drops (including rarer materials and larger Dog Coin returns) even though the UI just reads 100%.
How to exploit it
- Keep upgrading expedition teams even after the bar shows full.
- Match the expedition's requested traits for the biggest hidden multiplier.
- Run higher-tier expeditions with overshot teams for the best return per slot.
Build overqualified expedition squads from your roster.
