WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Expedition rewards in Atlas maps; activate Logbooks through Dannig and spend Runic Splinters at the Realmgate.

The recorded current route to Olroth uses Runic Splinters at the Realmgate; Logbooks are a separate Expedition activity rather than a guaranteed boss encounter. Farm map Expeditions for possible Splinters, artifacts, and Logbooks. Take a Logbook to Dannig in your hideout for its dedicated area and rewards, then check the gate’s displayed cost before entering Olroth’s encounter. These rewards vary, and each boss attempt requires its own entry material. This guide’s target is the boss; artifacts and Logbooks are useful parallel drops, not substitutes for entry Splinters.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Reach Atlas mapping and access Expedition encounters.
  • Be able to manage remnant modifiers and excavated fights.
  • Have a Logbook if you want to run the separate large Expedition activity.
  • Prepare for a pinnacle boss before spending Runic Splinters.
  1. Open a map with Expedition and survey its markers and remnants.
  2. Read remnant effects and avoid modifiers that make the encounter unsafe.
  3. Place explosives through useful reward and monster markers, then defeat excavated enemies.
  4. Collect Runic Splinters, artifacts, and any Logbooks that drop.
  5. Take a Logbook to Dannig in your hideout to open its dedicated Expedition area.
  6. Run the Logbook for its own rewards; do not expect Olroth to appear there.
  7. Inspect Olroth’s Realmgate options and spend the displayed amount for a tier you can face.

Farming tips

  • Keep Logbooks and Runic Splinters distinct: the former opens a large Expedition, while the latter is the recorded boss access route.
  • Check Realmgate tier costs before spending; available options can differ.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat Expedition maps and Logbooks for their separate rewards. A Logbook does not guarantee an Olroth encounter; each boss attempt requires its listed Splinter cost.

Common mistakes

  • Searching a Logbook for Olroth; use the Realmgate’s Splinter route for the boss.
  • Confusing Logbooks with Runic Splinters; they have separate uses.
  • Taking remnant modifiers without checking them; skip effects that counter your build.

When to stop or switch

Stop boss-material farming when you have the entry cost for a tier you can attempt. Run Logbooks for their own rewards, not as a guaranteed boss route.
