Gwennen - Weapon Crafting

Weapons, particularly bows, dominate the current Expedition meta. Key strategies:

Bows: Focus on high %Physical Damage, hybrid %Physical/Accuracy, or Path of Exile 2 Currency flat Physical Damage. Magic bows with favorable rolls can be augmented with Greater Essence of Abrasion for flat Physical Damage.
Other Martial Weapons (Quarterstaves, 2H Maces, Spears, Crossbows): Apply the same principles as bows, prioritizing %Physical Damage and base quality.
Wands & Staves: Target +Levels; Wands with +4 or higher, Staves with +5 or higher.
Scepters: Look for +Minion Skills or high Spirit; Omen Scepter is preferred for spellcasters.
Quivers: Only pick ones with +Projectile Skills.

Proper selection ensures both high crafting potential and profitable resale value.

Tujen - Jewelry Crafting

Jewelry crafting focuses on Amulets, Rings, and Belts:

Amulets: Look for +Levels or strong base stats. Rare Amulets outside Crimson, Lunar, or Azure varieties are ideal for crafting.
Rings: Prioritize a good base. Implicit stats like resists, Life, or Mana. Magic Rings with two strong modifiers can be crafted further using Essences.
Belts: Focus on Life, Mana, Attributes, or Resists; Magic belts with solid mods can also be crafted using Essences.

Rog - Armor Crafting

Armor selection depends on the type of build:

Evasion/Hybrid Evasion & ES armor: Prioritize high resists, life, and attributes.
Energy Shield armor: Target high ES values and solid bases.
Shields: Only pure Armor shields with high Armor, Life, resistances, Block, and Strength are worth crafting.

Magic armor with two good mods is a prime candidate for Essence enhancement or Desecrated Currency upgrades.

Expedition Crafting Experience

From experience with Patch 0.3:

Gwennen remains the most profitable with low investment, producing high-value bows, quarterstaves, and 2H maces.
Rog is decent but requires more currency per return.
Tujen demands higher investment, making it a lower-priority choice for smaller budgets.

Historical data from previous patches shows consistent profits, especially when combining Exotic Coinage with selective crafting strategies. Some high-value items, such as bows or quivers with POE 2 Chaos Orbs for sale ideal %Physical Damage or skill bonuses, can sell for dozens of Divines, generating significant returns.
