1.3 Place Explosive Strategy & Tips
- Tips: When the explosion occurs that hits that Remnant, they apply to all monsters and chests unearthed by that explosion and all subsequent ones.
Firstly, check all the Excavated Chests, Monsters, and Remnant Mods. Then, decide how to place explosives.
The start explosive is near the NPC. The remaining number of Placement is shown at the bottom. You can undo Placement(Shift + V).
For the chest, always choose the red Excavated Chest.
The top of Remnant shows its modifiers and it increases the difficulty of killing monsters. The bottom of Remnant shows its rewards.
According to your main DPS skill, you must avoid one of these mods:
- Monsters are Immune to Cold Damage
- Monsters are Immune to Fire Damage
- Monsters are Immune to Lightning Damage
- Monsters are Immune to Chaos Damage
Explosive mechanic: Modifiers from Remnants are applied to Monsters and Chests that are excavated from the explosive that destroys the Remnant and all subsequent Explosives.
2.Expedition Currency & NPCs
2.1 Expedition Currency
Refresh currency is used to refresh a specific NPC’s inventory. For example, 
Exotic Coinage refreshes Tujen’s inventory. 
Astragali has the highest drop rate, while Exotic Coinage and 
Burial Medallion have the highest value.
In contrast with Tier 1 currency, Tier 4 currency can be used to exchange more valuable items.
Expedition Logbook is a larger expedition area and can have 20 explosive circles. It rewards the best items and fights expedition boss there.
2.2 Gwennen
Gwennen offers a gambling service. Instead of buying items, you get an item by gambling. Normally, you will get a magic item, sometimes it may be a rare item. Rarely, you can get a unique item. If you are lucky enough, you may gamble Leather Belt for a  Headhunter.
You will also notice that, in some cases, you find may get a worse item.
There are some good base types, such as Leather Belt for |

Uzaza’s Valley, Jade Amulet for 
2.3 Tujen
| Haggle currency and valuable items with Tujen. You offer a price, then Tujen provides a new price… until the deal is complete. Notice that if your offer is too low, Tujen may withdraw back the item.
In contrast to Gwennen or Rog, Tujen’s inventory is more valuable. You can get Chaos Orbs, Sextant, Blueprint, Fossils, Jewels with good stats, and other items here.
Dannig offers an Artifact exchange service. It is a useful source for Tujen’s trade currency items. |
 |
2.4 Rog
| Buy an item from Rog, then upgrade it or take it directly. The cost of an item includes a purchase fee and an upgrade fee.
If the upgrade result is not good, you can skip it, then get a new upgrade. For example, skip “Reroll Suffixes 6 times, keeping the best outcome“, it may get “Reroll Suffixes 10 times, keeping the best outcome.”
|
 |
2.5 Dannig
Dannig is the leader of Expedition NPCs. He offers an Artifact exchange service. Normally, the exchange rate is 1:1. Sometimes, Dannig offers Artifact at a discount. Sometimes, Dannig sells NPC’s refresh currency, such as Exotic Coinage,  Scrap Metal, Astragali. You may get Expedition Logbook here as well.
Dannig also provides the |
 |
3. Expedition Logbook
Find an Expedition Logbook, craft its mods like a map, bring it to Dannig and choose a location for your next Expedition. These Expeditions are much larger than regular ones and harbour many mysteries to explore, if you dare.
Just like how a Blighted Map was one giant Blight encounter with no natural monsters, the Expedition you go on from a logbook is one giant Expedition.
Expeditions from logbooks are not only different because of their large size, but because there are special objects that you can interact with using the explosives. For example, trees that contain monsters or items, passageways that reveal chests or bosses, and so on. Speaking of bosses, there are some formidable ones for you to seek out, and a set of valuable new unique items and base types that can only come from Expedition content.
While planning your chain of explosives in a Logbook Expedition, you should consider detonating various destructible objects. Such obstacles might be blocking secret passages leading to ancient, terrifying bosses and their valuable treasures.
PoE 3.18 Changes
- Expedition Remnants that provide a chance for Runic Monsters and Excavated chests to drop or contain an additional Influenced Item now have a chance of 20% (previously 35%) as they provided a higher number of Influenced Items relative to other sources.
