Gwennen - Weapon Crafting Strategies
Gwennen remains the king of low-cost, high-reward Expedition crafting. Her focus on Path of Exile 2 Currency 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 clear resale potential.
Rog - Armor Crafting for Specialized Builds
Rog's crafting is best suited for players chasing perfect defensive gear.
Top tips:
Evasion/Hybrid ES armor: Focus on Life, Resists, and Attributes.
Energy Shield armor: Target high ES values and ideal prefixes.
Shields: Only craft pure Armor shields with high Life, Block, and cheap POE 2 Orbs Strength.
Magic armor with 2 strong mods can be elevated using Desecrated Currency or Essence upgrades, making them viable even without perfect rolls.
