How investigations work

Mystery outcomes use the final modified die roll, which can fall below 1 or above 6. The animation still shows only an ordinary die face: totals of 1 or less display as 1, and totals of 6 or more display as 6. Use the final total to read the outcome ranges below.

All of the world's mysteries will reset each time the player takes a bath. After bathing, they can be investigated again when the player returns to the area.

Unless a reward is marked as shared across locations, repeat limits apply separately to each mystery. Only the roll results or victories specified in its reward row count toward that limit; other results do not. Bathing makes mysteries available again but does not replenish their limited rewards.

In these tables, a mixed draw grants one random blessing or one random curse, with a 50% chance of either.
