EXPEDITION IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLY

I've tried grinding expedition for the heroic tragedy that I need for my build or the life flask I can sell to try and get the jewel. It's awful. Like beyond bad. Doing the event nets you a shit chance to get a logbook. Then it's a shit chance to get the boss in the logbook. Then the boss is hard as hell and gives you a shit chance to get what you need. I've been grinding this shit for 3-4 days. I got the shield early, have only gotten the mace and helmet since. +4 difficulty every fight, and at least area level 80 every time. The most efficient way to farm logbooks, that I've found, IS TO NOT DO THE EXPEDITIONS. Farm something else and just buy logbooks (and so help me god do I hate sending trade messages just to get ghosted.) Absolutely awful endgame content.
