Expedition

Introduction

Warning: This guide assumes you know how to farm Expedition, Essence, and Eldritch Altars.

The Expedition Currency Strategy utilizes Stream of Consciousness to encounter the highest number of Expeditions in your maps on a low investment to maximize rewards and profitability.

• Expedition Content drops Vendor Refresh Currency, Artifacts, Maps and Currency.

Requirements

• Expedition does not have intense character requirements. The remnants can cause mobs to be incredibly tanky, and in some cases immune to your damage so take care to analyze the remnants before committing your explosives.

Set-Up

PRO TIP: When setting up to run this strategy it is recommended that you purchase enough materials to complete a sizeable set of maps, failing to do this makes selling your drops far more difficult and you'll constantly be trading to purchase additional materials.

Map Choice

• Tier 16 Atoll Map - is the best map for this strategy, the Expedition with typically spawn as soon as you enter the map, you can open it and return later due to the "figure 8" map layout, meaning you do not have to wait for the mobs to be unearthed.

Map Device

• Eldritch Influence: Searing Exarch
• Essence - 3x Chaos Orbs: Area contains 3x Essence monsters.

Compasses

There are no mandatory compasses for this strategy. If using the Growing Hordes variant you should use your Awakened Sextants on all available voidstones to increase the number of monsters within the map.

Store any valuable compasses to sell to other players. Examples of valuable compasses are;

Fragments

Select a fragment set-up based on your desired investment level.

PROTIP: Use the cheapest rusted scarab with Growing Hordes, you can even use 4 of the same!

Atlas Passive Tree

Expedition passives increase the chance for Expedition encounters to appear. They also increase the chance for them to belong to the more valuable vendors, Dannig and Tujen.

Eldritch Altars provide a constant flow of currency items.

Essence passives increase the tier of the Essences you find. It also causes Essence monsters containing a Shrieking Essence to be duplicated.

Growing Hordes causes the Rusted Scarabs used in the higher investment strategy to grant Pack Size. It does however mean you can no longer use Stream of Consciousness.

Gameplay

Rolling Maps

1. Clean Your Maps - Ensure all of your maps are identified and then use an Orb of Scouring to make them all normal rarity, since achieving 20% quality on white maps requires significantly less Cartographer's Chisels.

2. Chiseling - Use Cartographer's Chisels on all of your maps until each one is 20% quality.

3. Alchemy Orbs - Use Orbs of Alchemy on every map you have at 20% quality. Re-roll maps your character cannot run using Orb of Scouring and Orb of Alchemy.

4. Vaal Orbs - Use Vaal Orbs on all of your appropriately rolled maps. Some maps may transform or receive new modifiers, so weed out any maps with modifiers your build cannot run or that are no longer on a favourable layout for Legion. On average using Vaal Orbs on high tiers maps is always worth it.

Running Maps

Pre-Map - Take in a stack of Remnant of Corruption.
Step 1 - Clear the map until you encounter the Expedition.
Step 2 - Place your explosives targeting powerful remnants first, followed by Runic Monster Markers.
Step 3 - If the Expedition spawned in the usual spot at the entrance DO NOT clear it immediately.
Step 4 - Continue clearing the map until you are naturally brought back to the Expedition, by this point all of the monsters will have spawned meaning you do not have to waste anytime waiting around. Any form of explosion is great here as one mob dying could easily kill them all.
Step 5 - Finish the map by defeating any left over Essences and the boss.
