Bankrolled My Comeback! This Strategy Doubled My Currency!

If you’re like me and hit a mid-league slump in Path of Exile 2, don’t worry—I was there too. I was scraping by with a few Chaos Orbs and had almost given up. But then I found a strategy that flipped my fortunes around fast. Within days, I had doubled my PoE 2 currency and finally felt like I was back in the game. Here’s exactly how I did it, step-by-step, so you can do it too.

The key to my comeback was combining efficient mapping with Expedition farming. Expeditions are one of the most rewarding mechanics in PoE 2, especially if you know how to target the right vendors and maximize your currency returns. The trick is to find Expedition encounters with Dannig and Rog, who are two of the best NPCs for stacking currency and selling crafted gear. If you focus your atlas passives toward Expedition, you’ll start seeing them pop up in nearly every map.

But that’s just the beginning. Once you’ve got consistent Expedition spawns, here’s what I did:

Use Wandering Path Atlas Tree – This massively boosts your chances for special encounters. Stack Expedition nodes like "Ancient Decay" and "Unearthed Secrets" to juice every encounter.

Buy Scarabs – Use Rusted or Polished Expedition Scarabs from the trade market. I bought mine using PoE 2 currency I earned early from low-tier maps and boss drops. These scarabs guarantee Expedition spawns, which means more chances at logbooks and vendor sales.

Sell Gear to Rog – When Rog shows up, use him to craft cheap bases you find during mapping. Even if the gear isn’t perfect, it can be sold for several Chaos Orbs—or even Exalted Orbs—to players looking for leveling items.

Flip Currency from Dannig – Dannig offers currency trades and logbooks. You can either run the logbooks yourself or sell them for Divine Orbs and other hot currencies. One lucky logbook I sold got me 3 Divine Orbs in one trade.

One huge part of my success was knowing when to sell. I used the platform u4gm to check up-to-date PoE 2 currency rates and safely buy PoE 2 currency when I needed to fuel scarabs or logbook runs. Sometimes, investing 20 Chaos upfront gave me 80+ Chaos back in a single session.

Another tip: always run your maps juiced. Use Alchemy Orbs and Vaal Orbs to corrupt maps with good mods like “Increased Pack Size” or “More Rare Monsters”. More monsters = more loot. Simple math.

Here are some of the best currencies I focused on farming:

Chaos Orbs: Always liquid, great for buying scarabs and maps.

Divine Orbs: Higher-end trades; flipping logbooks or selling crafted gear often leads to these.

Ancient Orbs: If you’re feeling lucky, use them to reroll unique items like Headhunter, though I saved most to sell directly.

Exalted Orbs: Sold two this week by crafting with Rog and getting lucky on suffix mods.

If you’re just running maps and hoping to get rich, it won’t happen fast. But with a clear focus on farming mechanics like Expedition and knowing when to buy PoE 2 currency to keep your momentum going, you’ll notice your stash tab growing rapidly.

This strategy gave me the jumpstart I needed, and now I’m comfortably sitting on enough PoE 2 currency to build whatever I want. So go out there, plan your Atlas, run your Expeditions smart, and watch your wealth grow. It worked for me—and I’m just a casual player. You’ve got this.
