Proposition Rewards.

[BG-57]

so, you know on propositions, right? sometimes i send characters and they come back like "they could have given us a reward!" lets go... whatever"

does this mean i missed the item by sending the wrong jobs? or does it just mean i wouldn't have gotten one anyway? is it possible to complete a proposition without getting the treasure or discovering the unexplored land?

There are specific jobs that can give Unexplored Lands (determined randomly), others that can give Rare Treasures (ditto), and others that only give Gil no matter how well you do. Any Proposition can fail so you can easily miss out on an Unexplored Lands or Rare Treasure.

The trick is to figure out which are which. Making things worse is the official strategy guide has several mistakes in it, among them some of the Proposition rewards.

Despotus and I collaborated on a definitive Proposition reward list. It will be eventually posted on the frontsite.
