PoE2 Artifact Report - Dawn of the Hunt-April 17
Time: 2025-04-17 by mmojugg Game: Path of Exile 2 Guide Tags: PoE2 Market Report
Welcome, Exiles! This is the first Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) Expedition Artifact Report for the Dawn of the Hunt League, dated April 17, 2025, marking the 13th day since the league's launch. Expedition Artifacts in PoE2, including Exotic Coinage, are used to engage with Expedition mechanics, such as trading with NPCs like Tujen or unlocking specific encounters.
A key component of this mechanic is the Expedition Logbook in Path of Exile 2, especially those level 80 logbooks, a pivotal item for players engaging with the Expedition mechanic, offering a large-scale encounter filled with challenges and rewards. This logbook gives you access to a unique area where you can find treasure and face formidable enemies, with the potential for significant loot depending on the choices you make. Artifacts and coinage play a crucial role in maximizing these encounters, and their market prices reflect their utility and demand in the economy.
Since this is the first artifact report of the season, we'll compare with last season's data from December 17, 2024 (Standard League), captured just before the economic collapse triggered by patch 0.1.0e on December 19. Let's explore the Expedition Artifact market!
Note: All data is sourced from the official PoE2 trade market. All prices are in Exalted Orbs (Ex) for consistency.

PoE2 Expedition Artifact Market Observations & Trends
Exotic Coinage: Slight Decline Compared to Last Season's Equivalent Date
Compared to last season's data on December 17, 2024, Exotic Coinage has seen a modest decrease, dropping from 1.00 Ex to 0.91 Ex this season. This slight decline may reflect a higher supply of Exotic Coinage or reduced demand for Expedition NPC trades, such as with Tujen, in the early stages of the league, despite the allure of Expedition Logbook encounters.
Artifacts: General Price Increases Compared to Last Season
Compared to last season's equivalent date (December 17, 2024), most Expedition Artifacts have experienced price increases, likely due to higher demand driven by the rewards from Expedition Logbook encounters or tighter drop rates:
Black Scythe Artifact and Sun Artifact: Both more than doubled in value, rising from 0.20 Ex last season to 0.435 Ex this season, a 2.18-fold increase. This suggests growing interest in their associated Expedition encounters, possibly tied to the unique treasures accessible via Logbooks.
Broken Circle Artifact: Increased from 0.11 Ex to 0.125 Ex, a modest 14% rise, indicating steady but not overwhelming demand.
Order Artifact: Rose from 0.09 Ex to 0.125 Ex, a 39% increase, reflecting a similar trend of growing interest.
Last Season's Context: Pre-Collapse Dynamics
Last season's data from December 17, 2024, before the 0.1.0e patch collapse, shows a relatively stable Expedition Artifact market, with prices ranging from 0.09 Ex to 1.00 Ex. Compared to last season, this season's market shows a slight dip in Exotic Coinage value but a notable increase in Artifact prices, particularly for Black Scythe and Sun Artifacts. This shift reflects GGG's economic adjustments, meta changes favoring Expedition content—especially through the use of Expedition Logbooks—and potentially tighter drop rates in the Dawn of the Hunt League.
Looking Ahead
As the Dawn of the Hunt League progresses, Expedition Artifact prices may fluctuate based on the popularity of Expedition encounters, particularly those accessed via Expedition Logbooks, and the rewards offered by NPCs like Tujen. Black Scythe and Sun Artifacts, with their significant price increases, may remain in high demand if their associated content continues to yield valuable loot through Logbook encounters. Exotic Coinage, slightly cheaper this season, could see increased trading volume as players engage more with Expedition mechanics. Compared to last season's stability, this season's market shows early signs of divergence, suggesting an evolving economy.
