Strategy
The 0.5.4 patch added a dedicated Atlas passive tree for Expedition (Runes of Alador), and it has turned the mechanic into one of the most reliable currency farms in the league. The headline claim from the source video is roughly 20 divines from a single well-rolled Expedition — not per hour, from one encounter — once the tree is allocated and you are running juiced remnants.
The farm works because the tree directly attacks Expedition’s two weak points: logbook sustain and reward density. Mini nodes scattered across the tree grant increased quantity of logbooks, so you stop running dry between encounters and the market price of logbooks is expected to fall as everyone sustains their own. That makes this an approachable, low-investment farm: if you already finished the Expedition questline you should have most of the points unlocked already.
This is aimed at players who want a steady, scalable currency engine without committing to high-risk juiced mapping. Expedition rewards are largely deterministic — you choose what to detonate — so the income is consistent rather than spiky.
Atlas Tree & Setup
Allocate the Expedition Atlas tree (Runes of Alador). Prioritise the logbook-quantity nodes first for sustain, then branch into the reward and remnant nodes. A key interaction highlighted in the video: Dannig, the Expedition NPC who can be placed in your hideout, now sells Liquid Veridian in exchange for raw Veridian (around 600 Veridian per purchase), giving you a sink for the large Veridian stockpiles this farm generates. Specific node paths and priority order should be confirmed against the source video.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low — mostly free Atlas points plus logbooks you increasingly self-sustain
- Returns: high — exalted orbs and divine-tier currency from remnants; the video shows a single Expedition producing multiple high-mod perfect exalted orbs and ~20 divines
- Scales with how aggressively you allocate the remnant/quantity nodes and how well you roll your Expedition explosives
Step-by-step
- Finish or progress the Expedition questline to unlock the Atlas tree points.
- Allocate the Expedition Atlas tree, taking logbook-quantity nodes first for sustain.
- Place Dannig in your hideout and use him to convert surplus Veridian into Liquid Veridian.
- Run logbooks, detonate toward the most valuable remnants, and bank the exalt/divine returns.
- Reinvest sustained logbooks to keep the loop self-feeding.
Risks
- The big divine drops come from well-rolled remnants — a dry encounter still pays, but the ceiling varies.
- As more players adopt the tree, logbook prices fall (good for you) but remnant-driven currency may also soften over time.
- Exact node values may shift with future hotfixes; verify against the current patch.
