PoE2 Expedition Logbook Farming Guide: How to Get Multiple Logbooks Per Map

💰 Why Farm Expedition Logbooks?

In Path of Exile 2, Expedition stands out as one of the most reliable solo farming strategies. It doesn't rely on lucky "jackpot" drops; instead, it provides a steady stream of income.

Whether you are progressing through early maps or looking to fund your next big upgrade, farming Expedition Logbooks is a top-tier strategy. Logbooks are highly liquid (easy to sell) and offer great rewards if you run them yourself.

This guide will teach you the specific setup to drop multiple Logbooks per map.

🧠 Understanding the Mechanics: Source of Drops

Before we talk about how to farm, you must understand where Logbooks come from.

When you encounter an Expedition in a map, you see two things:

1. Remnants: These are the modifiers that buff monsters and rewards.
2. Skulls on Sticks (Flags): These represent the monsters.

The Golden Rule: Logbooks drop primarily from Runic Monsters (The Big Flags). While chests can drop them, the vast majority of your Logbooks will come from the large "Skull on a Stick" markers (Runic Monsters). Therefore, your entire strategy is about making Runic Monsters harder and more rewarding.

🛠️ The Strategy: How to Maximize Drops

To maximize drops, we need to layer three different multipliers: Atlas Passives, In-Map Remnant Selection, and Map Juicing.

1. Atlas Passives (The Foundation)

You cannot farm efficient Logbooks without specific Atlas nodes.

• Logbook Chance: You must allocate nodes that increase the base chance of Runic Monsters dropping Logbooks.
• Detailed Records: This is crucial. It improves the quality of the Logbooks you find (better implicit modifiers).

2. Remnant Priority (In-Map Strategy)

When you are placing your explosives, the order matters. Remnants apply their buffs to all monsters spawned after the Remnant is destroyed.

Always prioritize blowing up these Remnants first:

• Tier S (Must Have):
  • "50% increased Quantity of Expedition Logbooks dropped by Runic Monsters": This is the money mod. Prioritize this above all else.
• Tier A (Smart Loot):
  • "Runic Monsters drop other Items instead of Weapons": By removing weapons from the drop pool, you indirectly increase the "weight" of other drops, including Logbooks and Currency.
• Tier B (General Juice):
  • "20% increased Quantity of Items Dropped by Monsters"
  • "Increased Pack Size"

Strategy: Look for the Tier S/A mods immediately. Place your first explosive to destroy them, then chain the rest of the explosives to hit as many Big Flags (Runic Monsters) as possible.

3. Map Juicing (Waystone & Tablet)

Don't run Expedition on empty maps.

• Waystone Selection: Look for maps with High Rare Monster Count. Since Runic Monsters are essentially "Rare" mobs, map modifiers that affect rare monsters can scale their rewards.

• Precursor Tablet Selection: If you are using Tablets to force Expedition, look for these specific stats:

  • "% increased Quantity of Expedition Logbooks dropped by Runic Monsters in Map": This stacks with the Remnant mod!
  • "% Increased Pack Size": More monsters = More chances to drop.

📝 Summary

The formula for printing Logbooks is simple:

1. Spec: Take all "Logbook Chance" nodes on the Atlas.
2. Juice: Use Tablets with "Increased Logbook Quantity."
3. Execute: In the map, find the "50% Logbook Quant" Remnant, blow it up first, and then kill as many Big Flag Monsters as possible.

Follow this loop, and you will have a stash full of Logbooks in no time.
