Journey to the East Quest Item Guide: How to Craft Loreweave in PoE 2

Path of Exile 2 players hunting for unique armor will want to master the “Journey to the East” quest item, which allows crafting of the Loreweave Ornate Ringmail. Follow this guide to efficiently obtain the item, complete the quest chain, and maximize your ring crafting results.

Step 1: Start at Ruins of Kingsmarch

Begin the main quest chain in the Ruins of Kingsmarch area. During story progression, the required island for the quest may appear naturally, triggering your path toward the "Journey to the East" item.

Step 2: Locate Stagnant Basin

The Stagnant Basin is where the quest item drops. While this might not be the only possible location, players have reliably obtained it here.

Step 3: Big Expedition in Stagnant Basin

1. Look for the marked zone on the map.
2. Place a charge next to the wall until it lights green.
3. Enter the underground area.

⚠️ Note: The required zone might not appear every time. If it doesn’t, you may need to find another Stagnant Basin map and repeat the process.

Step 4: Farm the Gilded Deposit

Once underground, go to the Gilded Deposit zone. Kill mobs until the “Journey to the East” quest item drops.

• If it doesn’t drop, continue underground expeditions and blowing up walls until you obtain the item.
• Listen for the audio cue “Nothing to drink”; this indicates the item may drop nearby.

Step 5: Turn in the Quest

After obtaining the item, travel to Act 4 and speak with Dannig. A new dialogue option, “A Garment of Rings”, will appear. Select it to complete the quest.

Step 6: Craft Loreweave Ornate Ringmail

The reward opens the Loreweave crafting interface. To craft:

1. Insert 60 rings into the interface.
2. Rings can be repeated; you don’t need 60 unique rings.
3. Click Weave to craft the Loreweave Ornate Ringmail armor.

Tips for Ring Crafting

• The last 3 modifiers are random; other modifiers are static.
• Numeric values of modifiers change with crafting.
• Crafting is repeatable, allowing players to accumulate rings for multiple attempts.
• Buying cheaper rings is sufficient; you don’t need rare or expensive rings for optimal modifiers.

Expert Tips

• Prioritize ring farming early to speed up crafting.
• Complete Stagnant Basin expeditions consistently for more chances to obtain the quest item.
• The Loreweave can be re-crafted multiple times, so continuous ring collection pays off.

Conclusion

The “Journey to the East” quest item is key to crafting Loreweave, one of PoE 2’s most powerful unique armors. By following this guide, Exiles can efficiently locate the item, complete the quest chain, and maximize their ring crafting success.

Whether you’re a new or experienced player, understanding this process ensures you won’t miss out on this endgame crafting opportunity.
