Harbinger Scarabs in Path of Exile are specialized items that enhance your maps by adding additional Harbingers, which are powerful enemies that summon waves of monsters and drop valuable currency shards. These scarabs can significantly increase the difficulty of your map but also provide greater rewards. Below is an overview of the different types of Harbinger Scarabs and their effects.
PoE Harbinger Scarabs
The Harbinger Scarab is the basic version that adds three additional Harbingers to your map. Harbingers summon waves of monsters and drop currency shards, which can be combined to form full currency items. This scarab is ideal for players looking to increase the density of encounters and the potential rewards from currency drops.
Harbingers are invincible enemies that summon waves of enemies and summon new ones as they are defeated. Harbingers can also indirectly attack by empowering their minions, such as creating a Righteous Fire aura around a monster or have all monsters use Flame Dash. At higher levels, Harbingers can also summon Obelisks that can attack or power up their monsters.
The Harbinger Scarab of Obelisks introduces Empowered Obelisks into the map, which are special structures summoned by Harbingers. These obelisks are more challenging to defeat but reward players with additional currency shards upon destruction. This scarab is perfect for players looking to maximize their currency gains in a map.
Regular Harbingers have a chance to be replaced by a Harbinger boss.
The Harbinger Scarab of Regency increases the likelihood of encountering powerful Harbinger Bosses in your map. These bosses are more difficult to defeat but offer greater rewards, including more valuable currency shards and possibly even unique items. This scarab is best suited for players who are confident in their ability to handle tough encounters and are seeking high-risk, high-reward gameplay.
The Harbinger Scarab of Warhoards doubles the currency shards dropped by Harbingers in the area. This can lead to a significant increase in the number of currency items you can create from the shards, making it an excellent choice for players focused on currency farming. This scarab is particularly valuable in high-tier maps where the base drop rate of currency shards is already substantial.
Harbinger Scarabs in Path of Exile provide a powerful way to enhance your maps by increasing the number of Harbingers and modifying their properties. Whether you’re looking to farm currency shards, face off against powerful Harbinger Bosses, or maximize the loot from Empowered Obelisks, these scarabs offer various options to tailor your mapping experience. Use them strategically to increase your rewards and tackle the additional challenges they bring.
