The game calls it the Expedition Reputation Rank: your Expedition holds one rank at a time. It rises when you collect enough Contribution Points, and every rank unlocks more of the settlement: members, recruit candidates, races, room quality and research. The data table behind it is named ClanRankTable, so older links say Clan Rank. The table defines 7 ranks; this build lets you reach rank 3.
Guild recognition changes based on your expedition's reputation.

How you rank up
Represents how much your expedition has contributed to dungeon exploration.
When Contribution reaches its maximum, your Expedition Rank increases.
It can be earned by completing certain quests or fulfilling Expedition Resolutions.
Contribution comes from 65 Expedition Resolutions and 6 dungeon events; the full list, the refresh timer and the reroll price are on the Recruit More Units page.
| Rank | Contribution needed | Total from a new campaign | Expedition Resolutions at this rank | Resolutions to rank up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 · Trivial Expedition | 100 to reach rank 2 | 100 | 18 resolutions offered here, each +10 | 10 resolutions |
| Rank 2 · Insignificant Expedition | 200 to reach rank 3 | 300 | 29 resolutions offered here, each +10 to +20 | 10 to 20 resolutions |
| Rank 3 · Established Expedition | 300 cap: points stop here | 600 | 20 resolutions offered here, each +10 | none: this is the cap |
- Contribution points add up. When the total reaches the contribution your current rank requires, the clan ranks up by one step, the points above the requirement carry over, and the next rank's requirement becomes the new target.
- One grant raises the rank by at most one step; points still above the new target wait for the next grant before they trigger another rank-up.
- At the reachable cap (rank 3 in this build) points keep accumulating only up to the rank's requirement and then stop; no further rank-up happens. Nothing lowers a rank.

Recruit odds per rank: every level and race weight
Relative odds when the recruitment board rolls a candidate: an L column is the weight of that candidate level, a race column the weight of that race. A dot is zero. Weights are relative within one rank, not percentages. Every column of the table is shown; hover a header for the column name.
