Some more info:

At Level 1, you can only access two types of "Journeys" -- to the forest or the valley. There are three other Journey locations (mountains, caves, and one other) that are locked for now.

On each Journey, you have to hire one or two Travelers to join your team. There are three types of Travelers -- a basic one that's cheap (like $2,500ish), a middle one that's still cheap ($5,000ish), and an expert traveler that costs piastres. The type of Traveler(s) you hire supposedly changes the type of loot you can collect. For the forest Journey you only need to hire one Traveler. For the valley Journey you need to hire two Travelers, plus you need three shovels (which can be won from forest Journeys or purchased for 1 piastre each).

The Journeys are simple mazes you have to solve. Seriously, they take, like, 15 seconds (at most) to solve -- so far, anyway. The other Journeys may be more advanced. Once you've solved the maze, a timer counts down until you can get your loot. The faster you solve the maze, the shorter the time before you can collect your loot. (I'm not sure if the solution speed improves the loot you get.) It seems to take about 10 to 30 minutes to get your loot.

You can do 60 Journeys in one day. I assume that's in one 24-hour period and not midnight to midnight, but it's too soon to say. I've done 60 for my day and am waiting to start over.

The loot so far has included: rings/pearls/shells; scrolls of all levels; gems; piastres; batteries; shovels. You can also get Thalers, which can be used to purchase buildings, scrolls, gems, etc.

I'll try to update/edit the page later when I have time to figure out how to edit (I've never done it here before).

So far I'm into the Expedition Center -- seems like a mildly entertaining but very fast and cheap way to get some decent resources.
