Item Details

• Limit: 1
• Effect: You can select the Nullify Prefixes or Nullify Suffixes crafting options on the Map Device.

Mechanics

The Scarab of Bisection allows players to choose between two powerful crafting options on the Map Device: Nullify Prefixes or Nullify Suffixes. When this scarab is placed into the Map Device and a map is selected, players are given the option to completely remove either the prefix or suffix modifiers from the map.

• Nullify Prefixes: This option removes all prefix modifiers from the map. Prefix modifiers typically affect the map’s base properties, such as increasing monster life, area size, or altering elemental damage. By removing these, players can make the map significantly easier, though at the cost of reducing the potential rewards, as quantity and pack size bonuses from these modifiers are also nullified.
• Nullify Suffixes: This option removes all suffix modifiers from the map. Suffix modifiers generally affect more specific aspects of the map, such as adding additional monster types, increasing the number of rare monsters, or adding environmental hazards like ground effects. Nullifying these modifiers can make the map less chaotic and dangerous, again at the cost of lowering the rewards.

Using the Scarab of Bisection affects the entire map, meaning that the overall difficulty and potential loot quality are both reduced when one of these options is selected. This scarab works on all non-unique maps, including corrupted maps and even tier 17 maps, providing a versatile tool for players to adjust their mapping experience.

Strategic Application

The Scarab of Bisection is best used in scenarios where players want to simplify a map’s difficulty without re-rolling the entire map or when specific map modifiers are too challenging or undesirable. This can be particularly useful in high-tier maps or in maps where certain combinations of modifiers create overwhelming difficulty.

For example, if a map rolls with multiple modifiers that drastically increase the damage taken or the difficulty of surviving the encounter, a player might use the Scarab of Bisection to nullify the most dangerous set of modifiers. This allows the player to run the map with less risk while still benefiting from the base map properties.

On the other hand, players focused on farming specific maps might use this scarab to remove unwanted suffixes that complicate or slow down their runs, allowing for a more efficient farming process.

This scarab is especially useful when dealing with corrupted maps or tier 17 maps, where re-rolling modifiers can be costly or impossible. By using the Scarab of Bisection, players can bypass these challenges and tailor the map to fit their playstyle or build.

Conclusion

The Scarab of Bisection is a powerful tool for Path of Exile players who seek more control over their mapping experience. By allowing the removal of either prefix or suffix modifiers, this scarab provides a strategic option for tailoring map difficulty and rewards to suit the player’s needs. Whether you’re looking to simplify a particularly difficult map or optimize your farming routes, the Scarab of Bisection offers a unique and valuable resource for any exile.
