PoE2 Runic Splinter Farming Guide: The Wealth Path to Olroth's Riches
💎 Why Farm Runic Splinters?
In Path of Exile 2, the Runic Splinter is one of the most stable currencies.
The Value Proposition: Splinters are the only way to access the boss fight: "Olroth, Origin of the Fall". Olroth drops incredibly high-value items that define the meta, such as:
- Olroth's Resolve
- Uhtred's Augury
- Uhtred's Omen
Because these items are always in demand, the price of Runic Splinters rises steadily throughout the league. It is an inflation-proof farming strategy.
This guide will show you how to maximize your Splinter output per Logbook.
📜 The Core Strategy: Logbook Selection
The secret to efficiency is not just running any Logbook; it's running the right Logbook.
The Golden Modifier: When rolling or buying Logbooks, you must look for one specific implicit modifier: "Excavated Chests have a (5—20)% chance to contain twice as many Items"
Why this matters: Runic Splinters drop from chests within the Logbook. This modifier allows you to effectively double your yield.
🗺️ In-Map Execution: What to Target
Once you are inside the Logbook, your goal is focused.
Target the Chests:
You need to chain your explosives to hit the markers that represent Excavated Chests. Look for icons that resemble the flag below:
By combining the "Double Item Chance" modifier from your Logbook with a path optimized for these Chest Markers, you will see a massive increase in Splinter drops compared to a standard run.
📈 The Optimization: Area Level 81+
Finally, let's talk about Area Level.
Always run Logbooks at Item Level 81 or higher.
The Reason: While Splinters drop at lower levels, Level 81+ Logbooks introduce a high probability of Raw Currency Drops (Divine Orbs, Orb of Annulment) from the chests and monsters.
- < Level 81: You get Splinters.
- > Level 81: You get Splinters + "Bonus" Divines.
This ensures that even if you have a bad run with Splinters, the raw currency drops will cover your costs and provide profit.
📝 Summary
To turn Runic Splinters into a goldmine:
- Select: Only run Logbooks with the "Chance for Chests to contain twice as many items" modifier.
- Target: Prioritize Chest Markers (Flags) in your explosive chain.
- Level: Stick to Level 81+ areas for the bonus raw currency drops.
Follow this method, and you will have a steady supply of tickets to Olroth—or a stash full of Divines from selling them.
