Exploring might not count towards Conversion objectives

I haven't tested it as much as I'd like to, but it seems like in at least some events where convert X or more gems is an objective, explore cards and exploring through map tokens doesn't seem to count towards said objectives.

For sure this is the case in the new 5-node PvP events for WOE and LCI, where it can be checked on any node. Checking in the new PvE events, Survival of the Four Tribes (SoFT), as that is coalition points on the line so less room for experimenting, but I think that the conversion from Explore mechanic is not counting there either - at least from Cenote Scout, Spelunking, and map tokens.

I'm not sure on other events or for daily quest counts, but hopefully this has caught some others' attention, as it would be useful for newer players, where they might just be starting with LCI cards, to have the LCI convert mechanic work towards Conversion objectives. Those of us who have been around awhile can depend on stuff like the Innistrad lands, Dominaria United lands, CYL, and a few different vanguards and Planeswalker abilities, but that might not be the case for someone just starting out, especially post-Holiday-sale (besides that Nissa 1 has gem conversion abilities at higher levels).

Wanna know a funny last note though?
Matching either permasupports or supports with resilient -do- seem to count towards gem conversion. At least for daily quests. If it changes color. Need to check this out more to see if it works with event objectives as well. Might just throw a bunch of toxin, dayshift, descend, and whatever else in standard fits the build into a Kasmina deck for that fractal token on top, and hope that whoever faces it forgives the Perfect Storm bug that that is bound to trigger eventually. But that's just tangential, maybe, to see if those count towards event objectives instead.

Post Update: Baby account got the quest to test, and exploring and map tokens from Cartographer's Companion seem to count towards it. So explore conversion counts towards quests, perhaps, but not to recent event objectives for converting gems
