Pretty sure the fate expeditions can be, let's say, extremely disappointing.

A Gallery of Serpents never went below two 62,5E items for me, or two Skulls at the very least. Never in an hundred attempts through the years.

(Unless the Fate-locked expeditions can give you low-tier rewards - but I'm fairly certain even those are locked to above-normal rewards, at least unless you reroll the reward despite the explicit warning; someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
While the Gallery of Serpents only gives above-normal rewards (ignoring the 1% chance for Deep Blue Heaven to hit one of said rewards) the Temple of Uttermost Wind is not guaranteed to give better outcomes. IIRC it does have a higher minimum value than free expeditions, but it still has a high chance to give a normal reward; it simply cuts off the worst possibilities.

Thank you both, Azoth I and Pyro!
Had my hopes high thinking you were talking about option similar to Shroom hopping!

@ Optimatum
That may explain it -- I tend to do the Temple rather than the Serpents. I thought the page in the Wiki with the table of expedition results had a comment from a player about this issue, but I may be misremembering.

No plant battles, please.

I moved my ass and started looking in the *very* spread notes for the achievement list and doing an update after too long!
Besides the regular feedback, from the 183 companions on the wiki, does anyone have a decent number in mind to put on the list? We have many Fate locked, from old festivals (Fate again), retired and mutually exclusive ones.
I know there are some people suffering OCCD (Obsessive Companion Collecting Disorder) here so I'm looking at them; what number was hard, but doable without investing too much Fate or none at all?

The 40 crates, 7 Fate expedition, is never dissapointing.
And if you spend Fate, you simply get the yacht. I did that and I consider it one of my best Fate purchases. Around that point of the game, you have a ton of things to do, so I was eager to get to the zee as soon as possible.
Fate also can buy you some extra story in many cases: the Epigrammatic Irishman, the Jack case, etc.
