When activated, Expedition Intel or Lifesprings unlock either Region Intel, Excavation Intel, or Classified Intel in addition to providing EXP.
Region Intel provides lore relating to the area or the surroundings. Excavation Intel provides the location of a buried item that can be unearthed by your Chocobo. Classified Intel provides an enemy for you to defeat.
The intel unlocks of Lifesprings or Expedition Intel are not tied to locations and are rather unlocked in a specific order.
To find the location of Lifesprings, keep a lookout for owls and listen for hoots. Once you are able to spot one, follow it, and it will lead you to the crystal.
Their color changes depending on the region. For example, they appear red in Grasslands and black in Junon.
