Cartography Scarabs are powerful items in Path of Exile that allow players to enhance the mapping experience by modifying how maps drop and what additional challenges and rewards can be encountered within a map area. Each Cartography Scarab offers unique effects that can greatly benefit players looking to optimize their map farming strategies. Below is a breakdown of the different types of Cartography Scarabs and their specific benefits.
PoE Cartography Scarabs
The Cartography Scarab of Escalation is an excellent choice for players who enjoy running highly modified maps. This scarab increases the number of maps dropped based on the number of modifiers affecting the area. The more challenging the map, the greater the potential rewards, making it ideal for those who can handle tough content and want to maximize their map returns.
Modifiers added by this scarab do not scale with explicit map modifier effect.
The Cartography Scarab of Risk adds an additional random modifier to the map area, increasing the challenge but also the potential rewards. This scarab is perfect for players who are looking for an extra layer of difficulty and are willing to take on more risk for better loot.
The Cartography Scarab of Singularity guarantees that the final boss of the map will drop a Unique Map. This is particularly valuable for players looking to collect unique maps for challenges or for those who are hunting specific unique maps that are difficult to acquire.
3.25.0b: Fixed a bug where the Bestiary Scarab of the Shadowed Crow and the Cartography Scarab of Singularity could still be obtained. These have also been disabled and no longer work while in Settlers League.
Cartography Scarab of Singularity is drop disabled.
The Cartography Scarab of Corruption corrupts all non-unique maps found in the area, automatically adding 8 modifiers to them. Corrupted maps cannot be modified further but often offer significantly better rewards due to the increased difficulty. This scarab is ideal for players who want to farm high-risk, high-reward maps without the need to manually corrupt them.
The Cartography Scarab of the Multitude adds between 8 and 12 additional packs of tough monsters to the map area. These monsters drop 300% more maps, making this scarab one of the best options for players aiming to sustain or expand their map pool quickly. The increased difficulty is balanced by the significantly higher map drop rate, making it a favorite among players who enjoy dense, challenging encounters.
Cartography Scarabs provide a wide array of options for enhancing your map farming in Path of Exile. Whether you want to increase map drops, add unique maps to your collection, or tackle corrupted maps with powerful modifiers, there is a Cartography Scarab tailored to your needs. Using these scarabs strategically can greatly enhance your gameplay experience and map returns, especially in endgame content.
