PoE Expedition Atlas Tree 3.28

In Path of Exile 3.28 (Mirage League), Expedition remains a top-tier strategy for early-league currency and SSF progression. The 3.28 patch introduced a notable change to the Ancient Decay passive, reducing the number of small nodes required to reach it, while also adjusting detonation speed.

Farming Strategies for 3.28

Early Gearing & SSF: Run Expedition alongside Harvest or Essences. Rog (The Dealer) is particularly strong for early-game crafting of high-tier gear.
Logbook Farming: Prioritize nodes that increase Logbook drops and use Expedition Scarabs to guarantee encounters. Logbooks are the primary source of Tujen (Currency) and Dannig (Logbook/Coin exchange).
The Mirage Mechanic: In the 3.28 Mirage League, your mirage clones will benefit from your Atlas passive points, meaning they can help clear juiced Expedition encounters effectively.
