PoE Abyss Scarab of Emptiness

The Abyss Scarab of Emptiness in Path of Exile is a real scarab that offers an interesting twist on Abyss encounters, focusing on rarer monsters and Abyssal socket drops. Here’s a breakdown of its effect:

Targeting Abyss Rarities:

  • Fewer Monsters, More Focus: Using this scarab in a map reduces the overall number of monsters that spawn within the Abyss. This allows for a more focused encounter where you can concentrate on eliminating the rarer Abyss monsters.
  • Increased Lich Chance: More importantly, the Abyss Scarab of Emptiness significantly increases the chance (by 50%) for rare Abyss monsters to drop an additional rare item with an Abyssal socket.

Abyssal Sockets and Their Power:

  • Unique Gems: Abyssal sockets can only be occupied by certain unique Abyss jewels that grant powerful passive stats and modifiers. These jewels can significantly enhance your character’s abilities.
  • Targeted Farming: If you’re specifically looking for Abyss jewels to improve your build, this scarab can be a valuable tool for acquiring them.

Who should use it?

  • Jewel Farmers: Players who actively farm Abyss jewels for their builds or for trading purposes will benefit greatly from the increased drop chance of Abyssal socket items offered by this scarab.
  • Collection and Experimentation: If you enjoy collecting unique items and experimenting with different character builds, the Abyss Scarab of Emptiness can help you acquire a wider variety of Abyss jewels to explore.
  • Alternative Playstyle: This scarab caters to a more strategic approach where you prioritize eliminating fewer, but rarer, Abyss monsters for a higher chance of obtaining Abyss jewels.

Alternatives:

  • Abyss Scarab of Edifice: This scarab focuses on increasing the depth of Abysses, leading to tougher monsters and potentially higher tier rewards, but not specifically Abyss jewels.
  • Other Scarabs: Consider using scarabs focused on different mechanics depending on your needs. For example, Breach or Legion scarabs offer encounters with alternative content and loot pools.

Things to Consider:

  • Slower Clear Speed: Due to the reduced number of monsters, Abyss encounters with this scarab might be slower than usual.
  • Inventory Management: Depending on your Abyss encounter frequency, having enough space to store Abyssal socket items can be helpful.

Remember:

The Abyss Scarab of Emptiness is a valuable tool for focusing your Abyss encounters on acquiring rare monsters and Abyss jewels. Use it strategically based on your desired loot and preferred playstyle.
