PoE 2 Expedition Currency Farming Guide: Strategy and Atlas Tree

PoE 2 Expedition Currency Farming Guide: Strategy and Atlas Tree

PoE 2 has numerous methods to farm currency, however - we believe Expedition farming to be one of the most reliable and high-yield methods. After doing some extensive testing, we can confidently say that this is the best way to farm in the game. It is a truly rewarding method that has very little stress associated with it, and can yield huge rewards in the form of raw divines. Let us take a look at this strategy and how you can optimize it for the best results.

 

 

Farming Works Mechanism

This strategy revolves around spawning Expeditions on your maps while maximizing the amount of rare monsters present. Rare monsters have greatly increased odds of dropping valuable items such as exalted orbs, scarabs, and divines. The more rare monsters you increase the chance of, the higher your profits will be.

 

Key Steps:

  • Spawn Expeditions: attempt to complete maps that have an Expedition mechanic to trigger fights.
  • Maximize Rare Monsters: Alter your Atlas Tree and map layout to maximize the amount of rare monsters per each Expedition.
  • Effective Looting: Concentrate on defeating all the rare enemies to obtain the maximum possible value.

 

Atlas Tree Setup

The Atlas tree settings play a decisive role in this strategy. The following skill tree settings can better improve your Expedition farming efficiency.

 

Recommended Nodes:

Node Name Benefit
Time Detonation Increases the number of rare Expedition monsters
Legendary Battles Maximizing Rares & Exotic
Disturbed Rest More Runic Monster Markers, More Rare Runic Monsters
Detailed Records Depending on Economy situation or your preference you can spec into dropping more logbooks or buffing other loot, Creates better logbooks that you could sell or farm
Remnants of Power Enhances Expedition remnants for stronger rewards

Optional Choices:

  • Way of History: Increases the effect of remnants by 35%, boosting rewards.
  • Extreme Archaeology: Not recommended due to limited value at the moment.
  • Unstable Energies: Use if you want additional bonuses but prefer easier maps.

 

Tablets

Tablets play a crucial role in Expedition farming. Here's how to use them effectively:

 

1. Forgotten by Time

  • Monsters spawn with half health.
  • Runic monsters are duplicated.
  • Benefits: Faster clears and double the loot from runic monsters.
  • Cost: Affordable and highly recommended for all Expedition runs.

2. Basic Tablets

  • Increased Number of Rare Expedition Monsters: Maximizes rare monster spawns for better loot drops.
  • Increased Quantity of Items: Pairs well with rare monster boosts for higher rewards.
  • Number of Runic Monster Makers: A solid secondary option for more runic spawns.

 

3. Irradiated Tablet

  • Provides a 15% increase in item rarity.
  • Adds one random map modifier.
  • Ideal for stronger builds that can handle extra difficulty for better rewards.

 

4. Vision of Paradise (Unique Tablet)

  • Grants irradiation, allowing you to complete maps twice.
  • Saves time and boosts efficiency, especially with 3-4 towers in your setup.

Vision of Paradise Overview

 

Recommended Tablet Setup:

Tablet Type Bonus Priority Level
Forgotten by Time Duplicates runic monsters, half HP mobs High
Increased Rare Monsters More rare monsters = better loot High
Increased Item Quantity Boosts overall item count Medium
Irradiated Tablet Adds rarity and modifiers Medium
Vision of Paradise Complete maps twice Situational

 

Best Map Mods to Run + Delirium Buff

Selecting the right map mods is essential for efficient farming. Here's what to look for:

 

Ideal Map Mods:

  • Increased Pack Size: More monsters = more loot.
  • Number of Rare Monsters: Boosts rare monster density.
  • Increased Rarity of Items: Higher chances for valuable drops.
  • Increased Quantity of Items Found: Improves overall loot yield.

 

Pro Tips: Use Distilled Paranoia to add rare monsters to your maps. Consider maps with higher Delirium percentages (70-100%) for enhanced rewards, though they are not mandatory.

 

Example Map Setup:

Mod Type Example Mod Value
Increased Runic Monster Markers +20%
Increased Rare Monsters +67%
Duplicated Runic Monsters Enabled 
Increased Rarity +40%
Additional Spirit Chance +40%

This setup ensures a balance between difficulty and reward, making it perfect for efficient farming.

 

In PoE 2, expedition farming stands out as a consistently profitable way to earn currency. With the right tablets, prioritizing certain map modifiers, and fine-tuning your configuration, you can greatly enhance your loot opportunities.
