Tool(s) ?
I was always a bit confused by the Tool(s). Can I use them somehow (and I just didn't see yet, how)? Or are they a passive permanent bonus? Do they influence the stopper at the last draw when the challenges wheel is spinning?

They basically give you a one time +25%(?) boost to your chance of success on the Adventure Wheel. So if your chance is 25%, using a tool will make it 50%, if it was 45% it will make it 70% etc.

If you have a tool available, there should be a blue tool icon on the bottom right of the event screen when you are choosing who to try and pass that adventure wheel. Clicking on the icon will activate the tool, clicking again will deactivate it (useful if you change your mind once you see the change in odds.)

EDIT: Once the adventure wheel has spun, if you pass then the tool is consumed, if you fail it the tool is *not* consumed. (Thanks Liort for the correction.)

Each tool can only be used once, and you lose all tools at the end of an expedition. There are various ways to gain tools, some of which are a one time thing (events during an expedition,) and others which will give you a tool at the start of each expedition (certain research papers and Emilia's Captain's ability.)

Hope that helps.

All the Best,

Welsh Dragon.

To use a tool you need to click on the symbol for them in the bottom right corner of the dialogue box - it looks like this[i.imgur.com] It adds 25% chance to your spin - if you pass then the tool is consumed, if you fail it the tool is *not* consumed.

Oh? I didn't know that. Thanks.

For real?????!!!!! I never saw that icon til now... So all of my expeditions could have been way better with actually using tools... Damnit for never seeing this, I always thought they activated passively. lol. Now I can improve my scores for those weekly challenges. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

it's definitely hidden well. they absolutely need to make it more visible. Or is it meant to be an artifact, hidden from us, that we need to find ourselves...?

I have grown sadistically fond of people finding they can use tools only after hours and hours of play.

It's like "there is always something new to discover in Renowned Explorers" for all the wrong reasons hahaha. Obviously, it's stupid UI design. We should fix it, and I shall see what we can do.

Just not bright pink, please!

Maybe have a Tool counter at the top of the screen, like Supplies, Resolve etc. With mouseover text which explains their use.

All the Best,

Yes tool count would be great....sometimes you want to save one tool for final boss or special tresure events and in current situacion you cannot see how many you have

You can by mousing over the Tool button, but it's not exactly the most obvious feature.
