The goal of preparing is to get as many {{IL|Crate of Expedition Supplies|Appearance=Supplies}} as possible. The cap is 100, and you can use supplies left over from other {{IL|An Expedition:|Appearance=Expeditions}}, so there's no need to worry too much about overpreparing. If anything, it's advisable to cap out at 100 before beginning your expedition. There's nothing more embarrassing than failing because you were missing the single unit of supplies needed to arrive at your objective. | The goal of preparing is to get as many {{IL|Crate of Expedition Supplies|Appearance=Supplies}} as possible.

*'''[[Rumours of treasure]]''': Costs {{IL|Whispered Hint|200 x}}s. Provides either 1 Supply and {{IL|Map Scrap|1 x}} or 2 Supplies.

Note that '''2.0 S/A''' is the best-case - if you obtain fewer at a time, it is worse due to the entrance action (e.g. using one action to enter then 5x [[Recruit_Clay_Man_labour]] which nets {{IL|Strong-Backed Labour|Appearance=SBL|10 x}} who then convert into 30 supplies for 16 actions (1 Entrance + 5 Recruits + 10 Conversions), or '''1.9 S/A''' at roughly '''~0.9 E/S''' depending on the entrance fee. Note further that each Recruit action is +3CP {{IL|Ruthless}} and -3CP {{IL|Magnanimous}}. |
**You can also get {{IL|Strong-Backed Labour|3 x|Appearance=SBL}} from the [[Underclay (Guide)|Underclay]] for 5 actions with 147 {{IL|Shadowy}} (and/or {{IL|Mithridacy}}), which provides 9 supplies for 8 actions, or '''1.1 S/A''' at zero cost in Echoes or other items.
