During an Expedition encounter, Runic Monsters and Excavated Chests have a chance to drop expedition currency that can be used to either purchase items, or refresh the vendor inventory of their corresponding NPC. Only the items used to refresh vendor inventory are tradable.
Ahoy, Exile! Expedition awaits, its alluring promises of exotic relics and glittering riches beckoning you further. But navigating its labyrinthine paths for optimal currency gain requires both cunning and strategy. Fear not, for I offer you a treasure map of knowledge to guide your Expedition currency conquests:
Understanding the Mechanics:
Remnants: The heart of Expedition, these ancient devices offer powerful boons and challenges. Prioritize remnants that increase loot quantity, artifact drops, or monster density for more currency potential.
Logbooks: Collecting remnants fills a logbook, unlocking a map filled with Expedition encounters. Choose logbooks with bosses known for dropping valuable currencies like Ancient Orbs or Exalted Orbs.
Tuju, Gwen, and Dannig: These three rogue traders offer unique rewards. Tuju excels in rerolling your artifacts for powerful currency modifiers, Gwen provides valuable scarabs and prophecies, and Dannig grants juicy expedition logbooks.
Maximizing Currency Gain:
Quantity Multipliers: Stack as many item quantity and rarity modifiers as possible. Atlas passives, map mods, Sextants, and even your skills can contribute to this endeavor.
Pack Clearing Efficiency: Choose builds that excel at clearing large monster packs quickly. The faster you defeat mobs, the more loot you generate.
Artifact Manipulation: Focus on rolling artifacts with valuable modifiers like increased currency drops, chance for additional chests, or bonus expedition encounters.
Logbook Blessings: Before activating a logbook, utilize Blessings from Gwen or Tuju to enhance its rewards. For example, blessing a logbook with "Bosses have increased chance to drop Ancient Orbs" can significantly boost your profits.
Advanced Strategies:
Exploding Chain: Linking the detonation altars in a specific order can trigger chain explosions, multiplying loot drops and currency returns. Practice and experimentation are key here.
Map Selection: Prioritize maps with good layout for chain detonations and high monster density. Open layouts like City Square or Park are excellent choices.
Trading and Crafting: Utilize Expedition-specific currencies like Gwennen’s Whetstones or Tuju’s Vaal orbs to craft valuable items for trading or personal use. This further adds to your economic arsenal.
Remember:
Adapt and Experiment: No single strategy fits all. Try different approaches, analyze your results, and fine-tune your methods based on your build, preferences, and resource availability.
Community Resources: Utilize online guides, forums, and experienced players for valuable insights and specific Expedition farming strategies. Knowledge is power, Exile!
Balance is Key: Don’t sacrifice enjoyment for efficiency. Choose strategies you find engaging, even if they yield slightly less currency. The thrill of the hunt is half the reward!
May your Expedition paths be strewn with glittering riches and your currency coffers overflow! Go forth, Exile, and conquer the economic challenges of Path of Exile with cunning and a thirst for adventure!
