How are Explore teams generated?

Dude… players have already explained this to you, but you disagree with support from “some people” who seems to be still only just you.

@actreal

My understanding based on some significant analysis back when Explore first came out:

• A Quest or Challenge team is selected from the Explore Kingdom
• 1 Troop is always replaced by a Troop of any rarity from the event pool or a Mythic Troop you own.

It’s not a theory, it’s a fact based on actual observation from many players. And you can’t disagree with fact, you know?

I knew somewhere it had been explained but couldn’t find the specific post. This time around I’m going stash a link to this in my game notes so I won’t lose track of it again.

This part interests me, though:

As for the Gnome in explore, it’s mainly happened in Zeajin, as it’s a leak from its future class. Gnomes with no bag do sometimes randomly appear in explore in other places, but it’s quite rare.

Do we have a reason why no-treasure Gnomes appear outside of this case?
