I am not fully expanded because I've been saving my trade tix for the tinker camp and when I expanded to the new spot I got the explorer badge. So u definitely don't have to be fully expanded.
This pretty much says it all, long-term and challenging! I expect that the game is counting the number of things we do without letting us know how many times we must do certain tasks. So it could easily be 100 encounters before getting the Slayer badge, and harvesting 500 times to get the farming badge. I am completely fine with this since I am going to be playing CS regardless of available quests or not! Thank you for giving us one that provides a challenge!
After digging, ducking, diving, crafting, cooking and cutting, still only have the TOTE Badge:-/! I play like crazy and can't crack the code:-/. Lol!! Maybe I'll try hopping on one leg and clucking like a chicken;-)! Twisted TL, twisted;-)!! Way too fun!!!!
Maybe those of you thinking the order is important are onto something. My first is 'Trial of the Adventurer' but some are saying theirs is 'Trial of the Explorer'. I have knights out now but can't collect till tomorrow but perhaps that's why some people are expanding and not getting the badge? Can anyone confirm explorer is not first on their list but they still got the badge or didn't get the badge? I don't have enough lanterns to try this yet.
It is #8 on mine and I have the badge. I don't think it matters. I am $100 to skip
