what exactly is a "turn"

[daver]

When I have companions back at the keep and send one out on an adventure, my journal list's the time as "1 turn" or "2 turns" ect.  What length of time is a turn?  Sometimes they go out on an escort mission, which is usually just listed in days.  Is a "turn" a certain number of days, like a week or a month?

In that context a turn is completing a quest or a quest step.  So those adventures will progress more quickly the more quests you're solving.  If you go a long time without any quests (just exploring) those adventures can go on for a long time.

Like Flix said.  However sometimes a step doesn't seem to push it ahead.  But then sometimes a step or completion bumps it ahead 2 or 3 turns.

 

I am not sure if it is because it does not register the turns accurately or it calculates them only certain intervals.

All I know is my Legendary Adventures have moved multiple turns on one step and not at all on other quest steps.

Thank-you, it makes more sense now.  Because there were some adventures listed in turns that seemed to be completed rather quickly, and others that just seemed to take forever to finally complete.  I never associated it with my character/party completing quests.
