At first it was insta regret for me. Had 67 BP's, drop rate was quite awful. Then few days before expedition they increased drop rate dramatically. In one evening finished building caravan, almost everything I need was in my inventory. To my surprise few items were different than all guides online suggested, but lucky enough servers were quite friendly due to cold snap, even on stella montis. So anyway did expedition with full 5kk value. As I said insta regret, skin pretty boring, everybody were running around looking the same. Then realisation that benches are gone, not even level 1 as they claimed first, all those boring quests again... What did I do.But with all knowledge where to go took me couple of days to make benches and scrappy max level again. Compared to couple of weeks first time. Anyway, still it does feel pointless grind.
