'''Logbooks''' are an item class that can be used with [[Dannig]] to open portals to a special [[Expedition]] encounter. A logbook encounter is essentially one giant expedition encounter, with a single chain of explosives. The exile's explosives may uncover '''Underground Areas''', as well as [[Olroth]], the [[pinnacle encounter]] of Expedition. Defeating Olroth will grant points in the expedition [[atlas tree]].

Logbooks have an [[item level]], which reflects the [[area level]] of the Expedition.
Logbooks can be crafted with [[currency]]. Higher rarity Logbooks have higher item quantity and rarity but can have dangerous modifiers.
Logbooks can be crafted into {{c|normal|[[Normal]]}}, {{c|magic|[[Magic]]}} or {{c|rare|[[Rare]]}} rarities with [[currency]]. Higher rarity Logbooks have higher Item [[Quantity]] and Item [[Rarity]] at the cost of more [[Logbook#List_of_logbook_modifiers|negative modifiers]]. Unlike maps, there is no bonus for opening Logbooks unidentified.
Logbooks offer 2 or 3 different Expedition areas which can have different implicit modifiers e.g. {{c|mod|#% increased Explosive Placement Range}}. The numeric values of these modifiers can be re-rolled with a [[Blessed Orb]] — high rolls of {{c|mod|#% increased number of Explosives}} and {{c|mod|#% increased Explosive Radius}} can significantly increase the reward yield of a Logbook.
While in the Expedition area, numerous icons show the locations of Remnants that modify monsters or drops, reward chests with league-specific loot tables, Underground Area entrances, or [[Shrine|Shrines]].
Like in normal [[Expedition|Expeditions]], monsters and reward chests are affected by both good and bad modifiers in a detonation chain and typically stacks, making the final encounters in the detonation chain difficult but also rewarding. After a successful detonation chain, all openable chests are highlighted on the minimap.
Like in normal [[Expedition|Expeditions]], monsters and reward chests are affected by all previous remnant modifiers in the detonation chain, some of which can stack. Having several different remnants active will make enemies signficantly more difficult but drop more artifacts.
Expedition Bosses have a 20% natural spawn rate in Logbooks of the appropriate zone level<sup>(privately confirmed by GGG)</sup>. Certain rare implicit modifiers on Logbooks can guarantee a boss spawn. Expedition Bosses are affected by all previous Remnants in the explosive chain, and appear to gain about 5% increased Artifacts and Reroll Currencies per Remnant affecting it.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/tcnbsj/logbook_mythbusting_grabbed_some_vorana_logbooks/</ref>
Expedition Bosses have a chance to spawn in Logbooks of the appropriate zone level. Expedition Bosses are also affected by all previous remnants in the explosive chain and gain an increase in dropped Artifacts and Reroll Currencies per remnant affecting it.
Boss encounters are marked on the map with the {{mico|id=ExpeditionBoss |size=medium}} icon.
