The Atlas Passive "Explorative Carapaces" in Path of Exile: Necropolis League influences the types of Scarabs you encounter in your maps. Here's a breakdown of its effect:
Increased Cartography Scarab Drop Rate:
100% More Likely: Allocating this Atlas Passive doubles the chance of Scarabs dropped in your maps being Cartography Scarabs. This significantly increases your odds of finding these specific Scarabs.
Cartography Scarabs:
Map-Related Effects: Cartography Scarabs are a sub-type of Scarabs likely tied to mechanics that affect maps themselves. These effects could involve:
Influencing the layout or monster types within a map.
Modifying the rewards you can acquire from a map.
Potentially increasing the tier of a map for a greater challenge and potentially better rewards.
Strategic Considerations:
Targeted Farming: If you're looking to optimize your map runs in terms of layout, monster types, rewards, or tier level, this passive can be very beneficial. It allows you to farm Cartography Scarabs more efficiently and leverage their effects to customize your map experience.
Alternative Scarabs: Remember, Explorative Carapaces specifically boosts Cartography Scarabs. There might be other Scarabs with valuable mechanics or rewards that become less likely to drop with this passive allocated.
Variety vs. Specificity: Consider your overall needs. If you prefer a variety of Scarab effects or are not focused on heavily customizing your maps, you might want to avoid this passive and focus on other Atlas nodes that don't influence specific Scarab types.
Overall, Explorative Carapaces in Path of Exile: Necropolis League is a valuable Atlas Passive for players who want to have more control over their map experiences. It significantly increases your encounter rate with Cartography Scarabs, but keep in mind the trade-off of potentially encountering fewer Scarabs of other types and potentially needing specific knowledge about which Cartography Scarab effects align with your goals.
