In Path of Exile 2, the Expedition mechanic introduces players to an ancient civilisation known as the Kalguurans, allowing them to unearth treasure and confront their past through the use of Expedition Logbooks. Here's how you can get involved with this fascinating endgame content:
What is an Expedition Log?
An
Expedition Log, or simply Log, is an item class in Path of Exile 2 that acts as a key to unlocking special Expedition Encounters. These encounters are much larger and more complex than the normal Expedition sites found on the maps, and offer players the chance to delve deep into Kalguuran history for substantial rewards.
How to obtain Logbooks
Drop from Runic Monsters: These are special enemies found in Expedition encounters on your maps. The chance of dropping a logbook can be increased by using certain remnants.
Purchase from Dannig: The Kalguuran NPC Dannig can sell you Logbooks in exchange for other Expedition currency or items.
How to use an expedition logbook
Take it to Dannig: Interact with Dannig in your hideout to use the logbook. Each logbook contains several areas, each with its own set of modifiers and potential rewards.
Choose your expedition: You'll choose from 2 or 3 different areas listed in the logbook. Each area has unique implicit modifiers that affect the encounter, such as increased monster difficulty or better loot.
Open portals: This action opens six portals to the chosen Expedition area on your map device, giving you access to a large themed dig site.
Key features of expedition logbooks
Area level: Logbooks have an item level that determines the level of monsters and the potential quality of drops. The highest level is 83.
Rarity: Like items, logbooks can be normal, magical or rare. Higher rarity increases both the quantity and rarity of drops, but also introduces more negative modifiers.
Implications: Each area within a logbook has specific modifiers that can drastically change the difficulty and reward structure of the encounter.
Remnants: Within the Logbook area, remnants provide buffs or debuffs. Strategically choosing which remnants to destroy with explosives is key to maximising rewards or managing difficulty.
Strategic Considerations
Explosive placement: You have more explosives to place in logbook areas. How you chain these explosives can determine the success of your expedition by uncovering more relics or controlling difficulty.
Rewards: Logbooks can yield high-value items, unique items exclusive to the expedition, and a significant amount of currency, making them a prime target for farming.
Boss Battles: At higher area levels, Logbooks can contain encounters with bosses such as Olroth, the Origin of the Fall, offering unique challenges and rewards.
Tips for maximising Logbook expeditions
Study the modifiers: Before choosing a zone, review the modifiers to decide which ones will benefit your build or playstyle the most.
Resource Management: Manage your explosives wisely to uncover as many relics as possible without making the encounter too difficult.
Preparation: Make sure your build is equipped to handle the potential difficulty spikes from negative modifiers.
