Expedition Explanation and Mechanics

Help Kalguurans Collect Artifacts and Fight Enemies
Expedition is an Atlas map mechanic where players can run into Kalguuran settlers and help them dig up Verisium artifacts within the area using explosives.
Players will automatically receive five explosive charges to place and arrange once they arrive on the expedition site. Note that each explosive charge links to the previous one, meaning that the range and locations of charges are limited by the placement of the previous ones, as shown in the video above.
Markers and Remnants
In an Expedition map, players will see multiple markers and objects scattered throughout the expedition area. Destroying them with explosions results in different outcomes depending on their type.
Excavated Chest Marker
The Excavated Chest marker is a pole with a flag showing the expedition logo. Destroying these reveals excavated chests containing numerous items, including gear, currency, and artifacts.
The color of the expedition logo indicates the rarity of the excavation chests. White flags give common chests, Blue flags give rare chests, and Gold flags give rare chests.
Runic Monster Marker
The Runic Monster marker is a pole with a red triangular flag, and destroying these spawns Runic Monsters. These monsters are more difficult and likely to drop rarer and better items like Logbooks. Additionally, only these monsters are affected by the modifiers from Remnants.
Remnants
Remnants are glowing tombstones containing at least one bad and good modifier. Destroying these objects adds their modifiers to the current and proceeding explosions.
For example, suppose the second explosion destroyed a remnant with an increased pack modifier. In that case, this explosion and the following three explosions will apply this modifier when applicable. Players can stack as many modifiers on explosions as they would like.
Logbook Expeditions
Logbooks Expedition is a sub-mechanic in Expeditions where players go on one large Expedition. Here, players receive 20 explosive charges instead of five, and they will find Remnants and Markers scattered throughout the map.
Players can enter a Logbook Expedition by obtaining a Logbook, pressing the show expedition map option when speaking to Dannig in the hideout or encampment, and inserting the Logbook into the open slot.
Artifact Exchange
Upon collecting artifacts from an Expedition, players can exchange them for items. First, they must unlock Dannig, Rog, Tujen, or Gwennen in their hideouts or encampments by encountering them in Expedition maps. Afterward, players can interact with them to open up their shop.
Each of these NPCs offers different items. Rog offers armor pieces, Tujen offers accessories, Gwennen offers weapons, and Dannig offers artifact exchanges.
Skipping and Upgrading
Upon buying an item from any of the Expedition vendors, another screen will pop up, asking players to take the item, skip a reroll for it, or upgrade it.
Pressing skip allows the players to skip the current indicated item modifications at the cost of increased prices for the following upgrade. Players can not consecutively skip modifiers rerolls. Meanwhile, pressing upgrade applies the indicated item changes to the bought item.
No Expedition Lockers or Stash
Unlike in Path of Exile 1, there are currently no Expedition lockers or stashes to store Expedition related items. As such, players will have to use other containers or stashes to hold these items.
Expedition Boss
Olroth, Origin of the Fall
When exploring Logbook Expeditions, players may see a big skull icon on their minimap, leading to a small building. Destroying it with an explosion opens an entryway into a new area where players will fight Olroth, Origin of the Fall, the Expedition Pinnacle boss.
Olroth drops high-rarity loot and grants two Expedition Atlas skill points as a reward for defeating it. Note that encountering Olroth is not guaranteed and can only appear when using Logbooks that are level 79 and above.

Do Not Solely Destroy Remnants and Prioritize Runic Monsters
Players should prioritize summoning Runic Monsters and avoid solely destroying Remnants. One common misconception amongst players when playing Expedition maps is to prioritize destroying Remnants. However, Remnants are completely useless if there are no Runic Monsters or Chests to apply the modifiers to
Given this, players should map out their explosives to spawn Runic Monsters and excavate chests if possible, as doing so will increase the quantity and chance to obtain rarer and valuable items.
Choose Beneficial Remnants
With the previous tip in mind, players should only go out of their way for Remnants that give the best possible modifiers. These include increased monster pack size, number of rare or magic monsters, quantity of Logbooks dropped, and number of items dropped.
Avoid Extremely Detrimental Remnants
On the contrary, players should also avoid destroying remnants that significantly put them at a disadvantage. These include modifiers that make enemies immune to the player's attack element, guarantee their crits, and gain increased elemental damage or ailment magnitude players are weak against.
Players may still take these Remnant modifiers if the pay-off is worth it, but they should ensure they can handle it.
Clear Out Monsters As Soon as They Spawn
Players should attempt to kill monsters as soon as they spawn to avoid getting swarmed. This tip becomes especially crucial if they use remnants that buff enemies significantly, making getting swarmed increasingly dangerous.
Replant Explosives When Necessary
Players can retrieve and replant explosives by pressing the arrow button beside the counter on the bottom-right portion of the screen or Pressing Shift+V (on PC). Players may use this feature to test different explosive placements that could yield the best results.
