Tour Guide Missions
Overview
Tour Guide Missions or Exploration Missions are Tip Missions that offer a guided tour to a zone's Exploration Badges, helping characters to easily earn badges and add destinations to their Long Range Teleporter without having to consult outside resources.
These missions will drop from enemies defeated in the listed zones if you do not already own the corresponding badge. You can only hold one Tour Guide Mission for a given zone at a time, and three total. They can be dismissed safely but not auto-completed.
Currently these missions are available in any zone with a Base Portal in addition to an Exploration Accolade badge, thus excluding Kallisti Wharf, Pocket D and Winter Forest.
