Expedition League Start Strategy
The Expedition League Start Strategy is a low-investment farming method that targets Vendor Refresh Currency and Logbooks. Rog crafting provides a high profit potential during the early stages of a league, when demand for gear is at its peak.
Set-Up
When setting up to run this strategy, it is recommended that you purchase enough materials to complete a sizable batch of maps. Failing to do this makes selling your drops far more difficult, as you frequently need to interrupt farming to trade for additional supplies.
Map Choice
- Tier 16 Jungle Valley Map
- Jungle Valley is the ideal choice, as the Eldritch Altars spawned in the map cannot roll Boss related modifiers until you enter the boss arena.
- Alternatively, you can select a map where you can rush to the map boss quickly before spawning many altars. This allows you to eliminate boss-related altar modifiers early.
- Tier 16 Mesa Map
- Tier 16 City Square Map
- Tier 16 Dunes Map
Map Device
- Eldritch Influence: Eater of Worlds
- The choice of Eldritch influence is not essential for this strategy. Choose the one that best suits your build or personal preference.
- Kirac Modifier: Heist - Area contains 3 additional Smuggler's Caches (6 Chaos Orbs)
- This should only be used in the later variants of the Atlas Passives Trees provided, specifically when Heist passives have been allocated to fully benefit from the additional Smuggler’s Caches.
Fragments
- No fragments are required for this strategy. However, if you have them available, the following fragments are recommended to boost rewards:
- 2x Expedition Scarab of Runefinding
Atlas Passive Tree
Gameplay
- When clearing the Expedition, target powerful remnants first and finish with as many Runic Monster markers as possible. The following remnants are the most lucrative;
- "Runic Monsters are duplicated" (Prefix)
- "50% increased Quantity of Expedition Logbooks dropped by Runic Monsters" (Suffix)
- "40% increased Quantity of Items dropped by Monsters" (Suffix)
- "Runic Monsters have 35% chance to drop an additional Stacked Deck" (Suffix)
- "50% increased Quantity of Artifacts dropped by Monsters" (Suffix)
Loot Breakdown
These are the key drops you should focus on selling with this strategy. If you're having trouble selling league-specific loot, refer to the loot section of our Expedition and Betrayal Guide for detailed tips on how to list and trade efficiently.
To yield the maximum number of rewards from Expedition, it is important to understand how to use the Vendors. Learn about that in our Expedition Farming Guide.
Alternatively, you can use Bulk Selling methods to sell your accumulated Vendor Refresh Currency:
- Astragali
- Scrap Metal
- Burial Medallion
- Exotic Coinage
Expedition and the Vendors also provides large amounts of:
- Expedition Logbooks
- Stacked Deck
Profit crafting with Rog is another great way to make currency early in a league. Use our Rog Guide to learn how to maximize your profits.
The loot can be split into 5 key categories:
- Rogue's Marker
- Deception Contracts
- Blueprints
- Fully Revealed Blueprints from Casing the Joint
- Remaining Contracts
The price of fully revealed blueprints primarily depends on how many wings they have, price check against other revealed blueprints, with either 3 or 4 revealed wings.
