General Expedition Crafting Tips

1. Don't overinvest - If a crafted item looks mediocre after several upgrades, vendor it or sell it cheap instead of Path of Exile 2 Currency wasting materials.

2. Preserve strong mods - Great Prefixes or Suffixes should be built upon, not replaced.

3. Use Magic bases wisely - Magic items with strong rolls make ideal bases for Essence crafting.

4. Maximize value - Improve sockets, quality, and apply Vaal upgrades to raise both usability and resale potential.

Gwennen - Weapon Crafting Strategies

Gwennen remains the king of low-cost, high-reward Expedition crafting. Her focus on weapon bases makes her the best NPC for early profit.

Weapons to prioritize:

1. Bows: Focus on %Physical Damage, hybrid %Physical/Accuracy, or flat Physical rolls.

Magic bows with solid rolls can be enhanced with Greater Essence of Abrasion for massive flat damage gains.

2. Quarterstaves, 2H Maces, Spears, Crossbows: Prioritize %Physical and Quality.

3. Wands & Staves: Aim for +4 or +5 to all Spell Skill Levels.

4. Scepters: Target +Minion Skills or high Spirit stats; Omen Scepter is the best base.

5. Quivers: Only keep those with +Projectile Skill modifiers.

If you're farming Expeditions specifically for gold, buy POE2 Items from Gwennen using Exotic Coinage, then flip them on the market once you find high-value rolls.

Tujen - Jewelry Crafting for Consistent Returns

Tujen specializes in Amulets, Rings, and Belts, all of which remain high-demand gear types in Path of Exile 2.

Best practices:

Amulets: Search for +Level modifiers and strong base stats; Crimson, Lunar, and Azure bases are most sought-after.

Rings: Good implicit stats (Life, Mana, Resists) are essential. Magic Rings with two good mods can be further enhanced with Essences.

Belts: Prioritize Life, Attributes, or high Resistance rolls.

Tujen's crafting is slower but more stable than Gwennen's. If you have limited currency, target Rings and Amulets with POE 2 Currency for sale clear resale potential.
