Players discover numerous hidden artifacts that they must return to their Kalguur owners for big rewards. Through clever use of explosives, players carve out a strategic path to unearth these lost treasures. Of course, you\u2019re going to have to fight plenty of nasty foes along the way. You can trade these resources with new vendors that let you haggle for bargains and deals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/07\/15\/3456047f\/expeditionlogbookui.png\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<p><span><span>A multitude of new skill gems bring new playstyles to Expedition and the greater game, the most interesting perhaps being a Necromancer gem that lets players go \u201call-in\u201d on a king-size reaper minion. Instead of commanding an entourage, this skill lets players make one giant minion that handles everything. Want to play with other minions too? Well, the reaper kind of\u2026 eats them. So that\u2019s going to be hard. Still, as a pet player, I can\u2019t wait to give this one a try.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Flasks can now be modified with new resources that add logic that commands them to be auto-used, instead of forcing players to blast their fingers (and invite carpal tunnel syndrome) on their hotkeys thousands of times a session. For instance, you can set modifiers on a flask to trigger under a certain amount of health or when a status state is triggered. As someone who has had ulnar nerve issues in the past due to my repeated Sinister Strike spam in World of Warcraft, this update has been a long time coming and is lowkey the best thing about this expansion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>In addition to all the expansion content, Path of Exile: Royale is returning as a weekend mode. It\u2019s being completely rebalanced outside of the core Path of Exile, so players\u2019 skill trees and options will look quite different. Yes, there will be spectator mode, leaderboards, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Are you excited to check out Expedition?
