Let’s combat the randomness of the maps with some beneficial modifiers. Here are all Scarabs – new and updated – in Path of Exile Necropolis.
Path of Exile: All Scarabs in Necropolis Expansion
The new Necropolis expansion introduced many changes besides its seasonal content. One of the major things that was overhauled was the Scarabs. These are map fragments that will modify non-unique maps and, thanks to the Necropolis release, they have been reworked allowing for more diversity in their effects. Scarabs are obtainable through random drops and can also be found in Safehouses of the Immortal Syndicate.
Said diversification allowed Path of Exile to present a large amount of Scarabs that will allow for targeting farming of currency and League Mechanics or content. Let’s take a look at every Scarab in Path of Exile post the Necropolis expansion release.
