Item Details

• Stack Size: 1 / 20
• Limit: 1
• Effect: Portals to Area have a 50% chance to not be consumed on use.

This scarab does not bypass the max 6 character limit in a map.

Mechanics

The Scarab of Stability grants a 50% chance that any portal used to enter a map will not be consumed. In Path of Exile, each map instance is limited to six portals, which means players can only enter and exit a map a maximum of six times. This scarab effectively increases the potential number of uses for these portals by reducing the likelihood that they will be consumed upon use.

This effect can be particularly useful in scenarios where a player may need to leave the map frequently, such as when dealing with difficult content, managing inventory, or if unexpected circumstances require quick exits and re-entries. However, it’s important to note that this scarab does not bypass the game’s six-character limit per map instance. This means that while you can potentially use the portals more times, the number of different characters that can enter the map remains capped at six.

Strategic Application

The Scarab of Stability is especially valuable for players running challenging maps where multiple exits and returns might be necessary. For example, in maps with difficult boss encounters or complex layouts, this scarab allows for more strategic gameplay by providing the option to leave the map and re-enter without worrying as much about running out of portals.

This can also be useful in party play, where multiple players might need to leave and return to the map for various reasons. With this scarab, the risk of running out of portals and locking players out of the map is significantly reduced, making it a great choice for high-level group content or particularly difficult map mods.

Additionally, this scarab is beneficial in situations where a player might want to re-enter a map to pick up missed loot or to attempt a boss fight again after an initial failure, without the fear of using up all available portals.

Conclusion

The Scarab of Stability offers a practical and valuable effect for Path of Exile players who want to maximize their efficiency and flexibility during map runs. By providing a 50% chance to preserve map portals, this scarab reduces the risk of being locked out of a map due to portal depletion, making it a must-have for difficult content or group play. While it doesn’t bypass the six-character limit for maps, its ability to extend the usability of portals makes it an excellent tool for any adventurer looking to enhance their mapping experience.
