The '''GladiusRO Custom Episode 19 Expedition''' is an account-based adventure system that sends players across the frozen lands of Isgard.
Welcome to '''Episode 19: The Isgard Expedition'''. This guide explains the main story, objectives, locations, and progression without revealing exact reward quantities.

'''Reward Notice:''' Reward types may be shown, but exact amounts and final results are revealed only in-game after claiming.


Unlike a normal quest board, players cannot directly select most missions. The Expedition Officer chooses one eligible adventure randomly from the missions currently available to the account. Mission objectives, target quantities, routes, and rewards may vary, making each expedition less predictable and more adventurous.

Players must:
'''Possible reward types:''' Mission Points, Ice Castle Reputation, Base EXP, and Job EXP. Exact amounts are hidden.

== Weekly Grand Expedition ==
The '''Weekly Grand Expedition''' is separate from the normal Random Adventure system.
 
It consists of three randomized phases:
 
# '''Exploration Phase''' – Locate three expedition signals.
# '''Combat Phase''' – Eliminate the assigned monster and required quantity.
# '''Recovery Phase''' – Locate and recover the hidden expedition cache.
 
The selected route, combat target, and required number of eliminations may vary each week.
 
After completing all three phases, return to the Expedition Officer to claim the sealed weekly reward.
 
'''Weekly Expedition rules:'''
 
* The expedition has a seven-day cooldown.
 
* The cooldown begins after the final reward is claimed.
 
* Abandoning removes all weekly progress.
 
* No cooldown is applied when the expedition is abandoned.
 
* The weekly mission can be continued by speaking with the officer again.
 
== Sealed and Randomized Rewards ==
Most expedition rewards are sealed.
 
The exact amounts are not displayed when the mission begins. They are generated and revealed only when the completed mission reward is claimed.
 
Depending on the adventure, rewards may include:
 
* Mission Points
 
* Ice Castle Reputation
 
* Zeny
 
* Base EXP
 
* Job EXP
 
* Snow Flowers
 
Some adventures randomize rewards around the mission's normal reward value. Therefore, completing the same adventure on different days may produce different results.
 
The Weekly Grand Expedition provides a larger sealed reward than normal daily adventures.
 
'''Important:'''
 
* Make sure the character has enough inventory space and weight capacity before claiming item rewards.
 
* Characters carrying Zeny near the maximum limit may be asked to reduce their Zeny before claiming.
 
* Mission completion is recorded when the reward is successfully claimed.

* Special effects when a checkpoint is discovered
 
Not every script-controlled objective appears in the normal Quest Window.
 
== Abandoning an Adventure ==
Players may abandon most active adventures through the Expedition Officer.
 
Abandoning generally causes the following:
 
* Current mission progress is cleared.
 
* Hunting counters are reset.
 
* Exploration checkpoints are reset.
 
* Active routes and targets are removed.
 
* The sealed Random Adventure assignment is cancelled.
 
For collection missions, items already present in the inventory are generally not removed when the mission is abandoned. However, items submitted during successful completion are consumed.

The Expedition Officer provides transportation to several Episode 19 locations, including:
 
* Moryara Coast
 
* Frozen Back Route
 
* Snake God's Warmth I
 
* Snake God's Warmth II
 
* Frozen frontier regions
 
* Abyss Sector One
 
* Abyss Sector Two
 
The available destination depends on the active adventure.
 
'''Warning:''' Snake God's Warmth and the Abyss sectors contain dangerous Episode 19 monsters. Players should prepare suitable equipment, recovery supplies, and party support before entering.
 
== Player Tips ==
 
* Read every on-screen message carefully.
 
* Use the Expedition Officer's status menu if progress is unclear.
 
* For exploration missions, checkpoints must usually be discovered in sequence.
 
* Entering the final checkpoint first will not skip earlier checkpoints.

* Keep sufficient inventory space before claiming Snow Flowers or other item rewards.
 
* Check the Quest Window for fixed hunting objectives.
 
* Return to the officer when a combat counter or exploration route is completed.
 
* Weekly Expeditions and Heart Hunter Emergency use seven-day cooldowns that begin after claiming their rewards.

The expedition system also supports bonus drops on selected Varmundt Biosphere maps.
 
Supported regions include:
