Farming in Expedition Logbooks for Huge Profits - Path of Exile Currency Guide

[@Daykun]

UPDATE: As others have shared, and with the current market at time of this comment, DEFINITELY USE YOUR EXOTIC COINAGE if you have the Artifacts. You can near max out your artifacts in ~40 logbooks, and that USING the exotic coins can 3x-4x the value of them (eg. brief example at 12:07 in vid) via the raw currencies & drops you get from buying stuff via Tujen. It DOES take time to haggle (which could be spent farming more), but with current market, I now feel it's worth it, especially if you want to chill out for a bit which has its own value. I updated my excel sheet with profit calculations from 579 Exotic Coins spent, earning a profit of 39 exalts from those coins, after running around 60 logbooks to earn the artifacts.

[@ВладРезник-е2з]

hello, how did you manage to get 20 exalt orbs? Based on my measurements, you get one ex about every 100 coins. Although once Tujen offered me 4 orbs in one package. If this did not happen during your measurement, Tujen offered you ex shards very often

[@ВладРезник-е2з]

UPD: its actually happened second time(4ex). pog

[@Ef-Eff]

In my experience last league, using the exotic coinage and even buying extra by reinvesting currency gained from the books and tujen would on average quadruple the cost of each coin used, it was ridiculous. The experience of haggling for hours is something some people may not enjoy though.

[@janisarbidans8931]

This its rather counter efficient to farm logbooks and not use exotic coins(since you do farm materials). On average each coin will net you around 8-12 c gain.

[@awfsdgsgeefdgwef]

You are absolutely right, this league I farmed about 200 sun and scythe. And it is always better to use coins then sell them(burial coins and exotic). I had 1.5k chaos per hour just cos of tujen. Farmed my headhunter in 2 days playing poison conc with 5ex budget :D

[@dubleblitz]

it does take time where you could also run more maps. On the other hand if you enjoy the occasional chill haggeling time like I do that is a great way to play the game without being on the edge all the time as the game is very fast and can be exhausting if you don't play a very tanky build.

[@semiautomaticxd66]

i am done with the league got my mageblood in 2 weeks i wish you have not made this video now everyone know the secret :/ ehehheheheh kidding nice video.

[@ryanlewis5072]

This is awesome, when I get home tonight I’m going to run the city square expedition farming guide you put out to start making my own logbook collection then I’m going to run logbooks the next day just to keep things different and fresh ! These videos are well explained and super helpful ! Definitely earned my subscribe.

[@Daykun]

Thanks man! :) The variety is one of the greatest things about logbooks, especially the different map layouts!

[@waynewalkerorg]

I've been doing this for the last week. The problem is that logbooks are so stupid rare. If you want to run exped, its best to just buy logbooks and continuously run them - and use those points on the tree for something more profitable.

[@ryanlewis5072]

@@waynewalkerorg I ran the city square method for a couple hours and had tons of re roll currencies and quite a bit of logbooks. So not sure if you’re employing the method correctly or juicing enough for quantity. When doing it you want as much quantity as possible and juice so you can pop a ton of altars to get more currencies is double chances and more rarity and quantity in map. Some maps I’ve dropped 3-4 logbooks because of good roles

[@nosrellom]

For Tujen you can use the scroll wheel on your mouse to move the haggle bar which makes it a bit less strenuous than clicking and dragging.

Amazing video, just getting into Logbook farming and you explained it very well. Spreadsheet is a godsend. The video & spreadsheet are much appreciated. Doing the lords work my man ^^

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

New Sub here, This video was done REALLY well, No access fat on this video, it was clean and to the point. You have a charismatic voice that is easy to understand and every bit of information given here was useful. Thanks for the time you spent uploading this.

[@wideawakeanimal1]

I've ran ONE logbook since they were introduced to the game but your video is concise so i'm going to watch, take notes and start running some logbooks. Who knows, I might find it really fun after some time.

[@Gummy2741]

I have been farming city Square expedition, making great returns 👏 I have 60 logbooks left after selling, seeing this I won't be selling anymore I'll be running em, love ur content bro.. ty

[@chielzzmew]

Great tip on the oil extractor, getting quite a few golden oils off those. Thanks!

[@iniquity2792]

Another note, summon mage skeletons is probably the best build to run log books due to how tanky you are and the fact that the skeletons you spawn can either be cold, fire, and lightning damage. Making it so you do not have to look at most modifiers and just run them without being so cautious.

[@chronoschord]

If you have at least 6mil mapping dps on mages, you can even do expeditions with 1/3 the damage (elemental immunity), as long as you stay far away and not be exposed to be hit often.

[@minhducohyeah]

to be honest, skeleton mages is the worst build to run log books. Yes u can do 3 types of elements, but only one elemental immunity can slow down your clear speed by a lot. And i haven’t mentioned monsters’ block chance, 50% block chance (50% from only 1 remnant) and 1 elemental immunity = pain in the ass

[@snow9148]

hey dude, great to see u making videos again. Enjoyed ur content before and i sure do now. Keep it up!

[@xYamakaze]

I just finished watching your Expedition Farming video and was going to ask "Why are logbooks so valuable, and should you run them yourself instead of selling them?" then I realized this was just uploaded. Thanks for the great guides. This is the first league I'm playing since Ritual, so I'm only now experiencing the Expedition mechanic due to it unfortunately being launched alongside "the great nerf". Shame, because the interactions I've had with this mechanic so far are really fun. Hope I'll be able to enjoy it lots this league!

[@Daykun]

Glad I could sneak in with the right timing on this video haha. This is one of the most exciting leagues to get back into things! :D

[@skread3172]

I think you should haggle your exotic cointage as well because on the logbooks you're getting a lot of artifacts for haggling and i think thats kind of a loose to not use them while haggling, and you're making huge profit with tujen. I did a little sheet with 940 exotic cointage on haggling and i got back 55ex profit, with 25 raw ex and 1954 chaos which reimburse all the coins by itself. But it can be a little boring but you can watch a show or a movie while doing this, it took me around 3-4h for the 940 ec so around 10-11ex/hour And you also should corrupt your logbooks for a little more item Quant % But thanks for your data, really good video :)

[@Daykun]

Wow that’s incredible profit from the haggles! Tujen is the man. I agree that it’s a bit of a waste to just leave them hanging. With profits like that, using the coins is a must if you can tank the boredom part.

[@Discipol]

Welcome back! Trying to decide if in 3.18 I should go with Metamorph or Expedition so looking foward to the Metamorph video to compare

[@jesse5505]

so this profit was just from running logbooks and selling everthihng? not the reroll? i think if u used the reroll currency ud at least double the profit, but like u said in the video, its not for everyone and it is time consuming ( per 30 logbooks i spend 2.5 hours roughly haggling) edit: I just found ur channel, your videos are really good and informative. you have good delivery.

[@Blamjack]

Made my Headhunter last league doing literally just Scythe logbooks and then rolling with Tujen. Rarest thing I got was a mirror shard. For every 30ish coins I was 2ex in profit (30 coins was bout 1ex in 3.16). Deffo worth these days too but with the low simu/shard/splinter prices I prefer selling coins once I'm out of grand artifacts.

[@mikeypao526]

Hey your speech and delivery is excellent! How do you get this good?

[@AnimaPrisma_]

God, those clips with ex drops really tickle my pickle

[@xYamakaze]

Do you/Should you sell your Burial Medallions (currently 7-8c each in bulk), or use them try to reroll for logbooks? Do you use your Astragali for the meme, or just sell them for 2.5c each in bulk? I think logbook rerolling isn't too terrible, at least from my experience, as buying the reroll currencies helps recoup the cost of using a Burial Medallion to begin with. I personally enjoy gambling the stacked decks I naturally acquire once I get a full inventory's worth because I always break even/profit on them, but I know the Mageblood/HH/Squire chance is absolutely abysmal with Gwennen. So far I haven't gotten even a unique from her in about ~100 rerolls, so I'll probably just sell my Astragali.

[@qodeee]

Astragali is fun if you're feeling lucky, i personally got a HH a week ago from her Burial medallions are kinda meh, for the cost logbook procs are rare and even then they might be of cheap faction (chalice/circle)

[@ДмитрийИсаков-ч3в]

100 rerolls… lol… personally got mageblood and 2 squires from Gwennen.. have made 6000-7000 rerolls… it took me 2-3 weeks.. because I have a real life and playing 2-3 hours a day in the evening.

[@shaunhutchinson4707]

If you're planning on using Tujen to gamble/haggle, would it make sense to focus a bit more on remnants that give artifacts since you'll be needing/using them since you cant buy them in bulk anymore? Then obviously for Dannig or Gwenen, just focus on runic monsters, currency chests and underground/boss areas for more reroll currency you'll be planning on selling?

[@Daykun]

Yes, that is right! Artifact chests and artifact remnants/logbook implicits can rapidly stack up the artifacts needed for Tujen rerolls and is very worth targetting at the moment.

[@shaunhutchinson4707]

@@Daykun Thank you for your reply. Btw, if you have a logbook that has the factions you want (Tujen/Dannig) but on the three bad areas, and then a bad faction like Rog but on a god tier layout, what is the lesser of two evils? I tend to still pick the better faction on a bad layout depending if their implicit can makeup for it like more explosives or boss, unless its Gwennen. Rog just isn't worth farming at all.

[@mioszgorny686]

Im doing everything u said ;/ I use black scythe etc, only way to make profit is double runic , what resulted in 100c profit, often i just break even ;/ I do take improving remnants of quant of chests and artifacts. I look for map and plan the path, but often resulst with like 10c, some shitty currency and like 4-5 rerolls ;/

[@lennyghoul]

Overall good stuff, but ignoring artifacts seems like a really bad idea. Tujen offers absolutely amazing loot for cheap. Rog is the best place to farm Ilvl86 crafting bases. Gambling Gwenn is how many people earned their first Headhunter/Mageblood.

[@sed1tion913]

[@tinyantyradio]

Hello there, do u have any update for the Sentinel season? :D thx for the nice job

[@CTL]

Probably the biggest thing people hate about Expedition is how many remnants literally brick an entire build. Not just the immunities, but immune to ignite, cannot deal crits, cannot evade, cannot leech, kill at low life... The next step would be to suggest specific builds that get bricked the least often.

[@NineSeptims]

how ggg balance the game brick an entire genre of builds

[@animeweaver]

Hey Day, for those unfamiliar with PS, could you explain how you made the mini map readable like you did in the end of the video?

[@romainwuillaume5229]

Hello, I have a question, you seems selling exotic coinage for profit. Blacksythe (Tujen) is the go to usually, for that. But what if our goal is for personal usage, like Gwennen (Druids) for attempting to get a big loto ticket (HH, Squire, Mageblood, etc..) ? It's around 4-6k according to some data gathered here and there iirc. Worth a shot, or better still, going for Tujen, selling and buying dices?

[@HFTVChannel]

Its the same dilemma as opening stacked decks vs selling them. When RNG is involved things can go either way. I suggest you do what you believe to be fun , even if it ends up not returning the profit , if you do expedition with dedication , gwennen is bound to return something in the end , just make sure you use a string in the search bar you believe to be worthwhile for you (Google Gwennen Search String Generator , i'd send you a direct link but youtube may not allow)

[@romainwuillaume5229]

@@HFTVChannel Hello and thanks. But that's not my question exactly. I get your point, but my question is more like : Is it more efficient to run Druids over Blacksythe, for exemple. As Tujen can sell multiple Astragali per Skull. My goal is not to make profit, but simply chase some items "by myself" (outside of maybe buying some logbooks to save some times farming maps).

The Logbooks drop from the Expedition itself which you do on the map.

[@ReginaldSprinkhuizen]

@@shiosuke4837 okay thanks, I have yet to see one :-s

[@shiosuke4837]

@@ReginaldSprinkhuizen depends how much Runic monster you have and also how much quant and so on you have. Also there is a mod who says "Runic Monster have 50% increased chance to drop an Expedition Logbook" When you see that, pick it as first. When you see Runic monster are doubled, pick that always first bcs 2 runic Monsters are 4 then. And so on. Gl and hf while farming ! :)

[@CaptainHaddoq]

How would you rank Implicts vs Areas? Example: Mountainside with 2 good implicits vs Forest with 2 Ok ones?

[@Daykun]

Yooo that's a great question! I thought about that and forgot to put it in the video. In my opinion, great implicits (ie. increased explosive radius + increased placement range) can turn bad layouts into good ones. I would always go with the best implicits over a layout with bad implicits.

[@aandrenery]

Honestly I don't like Expedition mechanic, but I just saw your other video and I might try a tree with a mix of Essences + Expedition or Harbinger + Expedition, and of couse, one of the two influences.

[@seniorita4801]

i did like 16 maps with polished expedition scarab ( have all nodes for expedition ) and i didnt drop any logbook. its really sad. one logbook i dropped was on t2 maps on beginnin of league. good thing is that i dropped hh from gwenenn roll and its nice, but it was so lucky.

[@TheMineCraftWorldPL]

I ran over 500 polished expedition scarabs with all expedition nodes on the tree, entire quant tree and increased effect of non-unique maps over a 2 weeks. Got about 120 logbooks, and like 10 had boss in it, Should also mention every map was chiseled alched and vaaled to further boost quant, ran anything above 70% quant (didnt bother to get better quant since some maps get bricked after vaaling, some would change and I ran only Strands). Overall I 4x my investment w/o counting in logbook sales, just purely in reroll currencies. Just spammed Strands 24/7. And yes, logbooks dont drop as often as you would think they would, but some times you get 2 or 3 in one map, sometimes 1 every map and then you can easily go with 0 logbooks over 12+ maps. Even then reroll currencies more than pay for the map, basically anything but Rog is 2x return if not more

[@TheMineCraftWorldPL]

stacking quant is very important, getting as much quant on the map, atlas tree, eldritch altars and expedition quant, pack size remnants before picking big skulls and blasting is crucial to success

do you split logbooks ?

[@Jinryougo]

Selling the exotic coinage is a big loss tho.. When u doing those 100 logbooks u will have tons of artifact and it will be wasted. Just do a quick refresh and quick haggle. Havent done much logbook this season, but i did alot of them on expedition season, even when the artifact still tradable i made a profit close to 20ex from haggling with tujen alone with only like 200 exotic. So the logic on this season it would be much profitable since artifact is not tradable anyway.
