If you have not already done so, you'll want to check out the Calculators by Frost Lord document in the 3rd Cycle Documents at the very bottom center of the main page of the Order Entry Portal (which appears as soon as you have logged in). When you open this Excel sheet, you can click on the Unusual Sightings tab and then enter the information to tell you your chances of succeeding at Unusual Sightings based on your personnel, kingdom, magic items, and tactic.
But in general, the more leaders, wizards, and magic items you bring to the party, the better your chances. Anyone with the Adventuring trait has a big advantage as well. Valyrian Steel, and all magic weapons/shields/armor will help, so will the Rod of Fire and Wand of Lightning or the Green Dragon Mates. Of course, all except Valyrian Steel you have to first acquire at other Unusual Sightings or trade.
Enigma are the easiest as they are either automatically overcome (like finding a Portal) or can be overcome with the right Tactic setting (like a free wizard or the Great Bats artifact). Neither require any special personnel (you could succeed with a single Centurion and no wizards or magic items in the group or just an Adept).
Next easiest are Fine but will require you to bring some decent leaders (and perhaps a wizard or two) to succeed.
Next are Excellent which you will need really strong leaders (if no wizards) or a good collection of leaders and wizards.
Next is Superior which are REALLY tough. You'll need strong leaders and good wizards.
Finally, there is Quest which first require you getting a Key before you can even access this Unusual Sighting (though issuing a #140 order there will give the code to help find the Key). Once you have the Key, Quest can vary on difficulty, but I'd treat it as Superior to be safe.
