The Influencing Scarab of the Shaper in Path of Exile alters the map you use it on by adding the Shaper influence. Here’s a breakdown of its effect:
Shaping the Map:
Shaper’s Touch: When you use this scarab on a map, it applies the Shaper influence to that area. This means the monsters within the map will be influenced by the Shaper, potentially dropping Shaper-themed items and granting access to the Shaper’s fight under certain conditions.
Shaper Influence Effects:
Unique Loot: Monsters influenced by the Shaper have a chance to drop Shaper-specific items, including unique gear, fragments to access the Uber Elder encounter, and Watcher’s Eyes jewels with powerful modifiers.
Increased Difficulty: Shaper-influenced maps are generally more challenging due to tougher monsters and potentially deadlier map mods.
Atlas Requirements: To access the Shaper’s fight directly through a map, you’ll need to have completed specific objectives on the Atlas tree that unlock this encounter.
Who should use it?
Targeted Farming: Players who specifically want to farm Shaper-influenced items or fragments can use this scarab to guarantee Shaper influence on a chosen map.
End-Game Challenge: Experienced players seeking a challenging map experience with the potential for high-tier rewards might utilize this scarab.
Atlas Completion: If you’re aiming to complete your Atlas by unlocking the Shaper’s fight, you can use this scarab on specific maps that contribute towards that goal (assuming you’ve met the Atlas requirements).
Things to Consider:
Map Selection: Choose a map that benefits from Shaper influence and aligns with your farming goals. Some maps offer better layouts or boss encounters when influenced by the Shaper.
Difficulty Increase: Be prepared for a more challenging map experience due to tougher monsters and potentially deadlier map mods.
Atlas Progression: Ensure you’ve progressed far enough on the Atlas tree to unlock the Shaper’s fight if you aim to access it directly through a Shaper-influenced map.
Remember:
The Influencing Scarab of the Shaper is a powerful tool for shaping your map experience. Use it strategically based on your desired loot, challenge level, and overall Atlas goals.
