Expedition base types introduce a new defensive mechanic called Ward. When you’re hit, your Ward is completely depleted and reduces the damage dealt to you by that amount. A few seconds later, your ward replenishes itself and you’re protected from the next hit.
Added 9 new equipment base types, available in Path of Exile: Expedition. Expedition runic base types are helmet, boot and glove base types that can drop from Expedition monsters.
