PoE Harrowing Carapaces: 100% more likely to be Harbinger Scarabs

The Atlas Passive "Harrowing Carapaces" in Path of Exile: Necropolis League affects the types of Scarabs you encounter in your maps. Here's a breakdown of its effect:

Increased Harbinger Scarab Drop Rate:

  • 100% More Likely: Allocating this Atlas Passive doubles the chance of Scarabs dropped in your maps being Harbinger Scarabs. This significantly increases your odds of finding these specific Scarabs.

Harbinger Scarabs:

  • Ancient Entity Encounters: Harbinger Scarabs are likely a sub-type of Scarabs tied to the "Harbinger" mechanic in Path of Exile. Harbingers are ancient entities that spawn alongside regular map monsters. They offer unique interactions and mechanics depending on the type of Harbinger. These interactions can involve:
    • Placing beacons to call down special rewards.
    • Engaging in combat with the Harbinger for a direct challenge.
    • Other mechanics depending on the specific Harbinger type.

Strategic Considerations:

  • Targeted Farming: If you enjoy the lore, unique challenges, and potential rewards of Harbinger encounters, this passive can be beneficial. It allows you to farm Harbinger Scarabs more efficiently and experience the Harbinger mechanic more often.
  • Varied Encounters: There are different Harbinger types, each offering a distinct encounter. This passive increases your chance of encountering all of them more frequently.
  • Alternative Scarabs: Remember, Harrowing Carapaces specifically boosts Harbinger Scarabs. There might be other Scarabs with valuable mechanics or rewards that become less likely to drop with this passive allocated.

Overall, Harrowing Carapaces in Path of Exile: Necropolis League is a valuable Atlas Passive for players who want to delve deeper into the Harbinger mechanic. It significantly increases your encounter rate with Harbinger Scarabs, but keep in mind the trade-off of potentially encountering fewer Scarabs of other types and the varied nature of Harbinger encounters themselves.
