Revealing The Most Profitable Scarabs Farming Strategy In Path Of Exile 3.24!

Apr 24, 2024

If you’re often put off by expensive Scarabs, don’t miss this great farming strategy that can help you shake things up and build a ton of wealth!

Why Is This Strategy Worth Trying?

With this strategy, you won’t lose money even if you test run them on a few T16 maps. What’s more, it involves minimal RNG compared to any other high-end farming strategy, and with minor investment you can make tons of profit from Scarabs, Embers, Maps, and items dropped from Lantern mods .

All of these scales massively with Back to Basics Keystone. Why use Back to Basics? This is because this league mechanic is extremely synergistic with any item that can roll your maps to higher levels of scaling difficulty! This is also the key to this farming strategy!

Revealing The Most Profitable Scarabs Farming Strategy In Path Of Exile 3.24!

Farming Strategy

For this strategy, you are targeting farming T16 maps, primarily for T17 maps. When you run these maps, you’ll encounter tons of Scarabs, Embers, and whatever pops up in Lantern mods.

And since we scale quantity to God tier levels, we are also guaranteed to drop large amounts of POE Currency and other useful items such as Atlas Memories. Some of these drops will surprise you, especially if you’ve never played Magic Find Builds, since it’s also expandable with Magic Find.

How To Run It?

This was tested with a build I’m still developing. I haven’t even spent 50 Divine Orbs yet, but it’s still fast and tanky enough to survive on T17 maps.

So the way to get these T17s is by specifically doing random conversions from T16 map. It all depends on the number of Voidstones in your Atlas, which you get by defeating Pinnacle Bosses.

POE 3.24: Voidstones Explained

With each Voidstone socketed, each level area is upgraded to a higher level until level 16 is reached. The more you socket, the higher the tier of maps you get when you upgrade each tier. So if you want every map to be force dropped as T16, you have to unlock all 4 Voidstones and insert them into your Atlas.

The more T16 maps you drop, the better your chances of getting converted. This is why under no circumstances should you choose Singular Focus Atlas keystone when farming on a T17 map.

Singular Focus will directly convert any unpopular map into a random currency item. So this is a big nerf to getting more T16 maps that could have been converted to T17.

Atlas Tree

Next, let’s take a look at Atlas Tree. You may ask, why not use Eater Altars with Map Duplication instead of Back to Basics? This is mainly because the benefits of Back to Basics start at the beginning of the map, so running the map is more consistent and less time consuming. We don’t have to go back and forth killing bosses to find Eater Altars.

Now, assuming you have unlocked all Voidstones, all dropped maps will be T16. So since we don’t have to upgrade the map, we can focus on all points to get more maps. This includes every single map drop node at the bottom of Atlas.

POE 3.24: Back to Basics Keystone

Shaping the World is an optional node that has a bit of use in this strategy. On top of that, we also need Mounting Modifiers, Chiselled Perfection, and Invasive Adversaries, and I did notice that the monster rewards are much higher compared to maps without it.

The next important set of nodes are those that increase the effect of map modifiers. Then we have to sacrifice 3 points for these 3 nodes because we also want to scale as much quantity as possible.

Then we have all the regular nodes that everyone uses to farm Scarabs. In my opinion, it’s best not to have any Scarabs drop to a specific area, as this reduces the chance of getting valuable items like Divination Scarabs.

Embers And Lantern Mods

Embers nodes and Lantern nodes have great synergy with Back to Basics. You’ll get a lot of valuable embers, especially Allflame Ember of Meatsacks.

Additionally, we want to enhance the effectiveness of Haunted modifiers, as the more difficult the encounter, the more loot they drop. Now that’s a cool thing.

In fact, you can force the league mechanic to use Embers. One use case is Anarchy Embers, as Rogue Exiles can drop more Scarabs via Significant Troves.

You can also get Harbingers on the map via Lantern mods. Therefore, it is very important to place challenging stuff on monsters with higher pack size.

Scarabs

Unlike the previous strategy, this one has multiple combinations of Scarabs that you can add based on price and your preference. But you cannot use any Scarabs that contain league mechanics.

My suggestion is to use at least 2 regular Cartography Scarabs. This is definitely worth adding if Cartography Scarab of Duplication does not exceed 8 Chaos Orbs. But if the price goes up, you can also go for white scarabs like Scarab of Monstrous Lineage and some others.

How To Achieve Bulk Sales?

Once you’ve collected a few T17 maps, you can start selling them. The easiest way is to sell them in bulk on some discord server. Or, you can price fix them from your map tab. If you don’t want to be annoyed by 1 or 2 ping requests, you can set them up like this for bulk transactions.

Please note that the top number is the price of that quantity and the bottom number is the quantity you supplied. This is how you can sell any item in bulk using premium stash tabs. It’s that simple and worth a try!

This is an interesting strategy for me, especially since my build is pretty fast and tanky. What do you think of this strategy? See you next time!
