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

1. Forgotten by Time

- Ideal for stronger builds that can handle extra difficulty for better rewards.
4. Vision of Paradise (Unique Tablet)
