Dispatch

From Primal Idle Wiki

Dispatch sends idle tamed Creatures from your stable on timed auto-missions. You assign a squad, the mission runs on a real-time countdown (progressing offline), and on completion the squad returns with loot. Dispatch is a hands-off way to put stabled dinos to work while you focus on other skills.

How it works

[edit | edit source]
  • You start with 1 mission slot. More slots come from the Expedition Ledger Shop upgrade (up to 3) and the Field Ledger from the Mark Exchange (see Contracts).
  • Each mission has a difficulty rating on the same scale as expeditions. Your assigned squad's combined strength is compared against it — a squad of three geared mid-game dinos (around score 90) is comfortable through Night Patrol and a coin-flip on Deep Scout.
  • Your Homestead Watchtower adds expedition strength, improving mission odds.
  • Missions run for a fixed duration, then pay out loot. Some loot items are guaranteed; others have a drop chance.
  • Failure never zeroes a run — a failed mission simply halves the loot, so a dispatch is never a total loss.

Missions

[edit | edit source]
Mission Biome Duration Difficulty Loot
Berry Run Grasslands 30 min 15 Crimson Berry ×20; Wild Seeds ×3 (50%)
Scavenge the Plains Grasslands 1 h 35 Raw Meat ×10; Hide ×6; Bone ×8 (60%)
Timber Haul Redwood Wilds 1 h 30 min 55 Ginkgo Log ×14; Redwood Log ×8 (50%)
Night Patrol Murkwater Swamp 2 h 90 Raw Meat ×16; Hide ×10; Amber Resin ×3 (40%)
Ore Sortie Scorched Badlands 3 h 130 Iron Ore ×10; Coal ×12; Silver Ore ×5 (35%)
Deep Scout Cavern Depths 4 h 190 Glow Moss ×8; Echo Shard ×4 (50%); Deep Sapphire ×1 (15%)

Sky Survey Skyreach Plateau 8 h 340 Sky Grain ×10; Moonstone ×3 (60%); Sky Opal ×1 (10%)

Percentages show the drop chance for that item; items without a percentage are guaranteed. Longer, higher-difficulty missions reach into rarer materials and gems.
