Saw the review from Illidan. There is a way actually to get rid of encounters all together. To do that u need to go to safe space, where u can lvl up and learn skills. There u need to choose "Potential: Grant", then "Passive:Exploration", then "[Exploration] Talisman Firestarter [LV3]". U need to spend 18 skill points to be able to do that. If u don't know how to upgrade max cap to 18, choose "Expand skill cost" and buy points which will increase ur skill point cap.
P.S.The system is a mess. It's counter intuitive to the core. There is actually an explanation given, but it's segmented and put just right after the dialogues which any sane human being would skip.
