hey guys. Today, I want to make a new video going over a Scar Farm Strat that potentially might be the best in the game. So, this step revolves around this new Scarab that came in the 3.25 patch, Domination Scarab Evolution. And what this Scarab does, it spawns a shrine on your map, an evolving Shrine. And when you click on the shrine, you get a buff. And this buff gives you a 5% chance to upgrade monsters. So, what does that mean? So, when you kill a normal monster, it has a 5% chance to upgrade to a magic monster. And if you kill a magic monster, it has a 5% chance to upgrade to a rare monster. Just show you some gameplay and what this looks like. Essentially, you don't kill any monsters whatsoever until you grab the shrine. So, you just kind of look around, you try to find the shrine. Then, once you find the shrine, you start killing everything. So, the reason why this is a really good Scar form is that rare monsters have a very high chance of

dropping scarabs with Atlas notes on the tree. So, as you see from this one map, we drop a lot of scarabs. I want to show the full map, but yeah, the whole Strat essentially rolls around killing every monster in your map while you have this buff. So, you really want to loot after the map because the buff, I believe, only lasts like a minute and 40 seconds. This is with the goal and all Shrine effect on the tree, so you don't have to kill a boss right away. You can wait till the end of the map to kill the boss so you keep your Shrine buff off longer, but my character is pretty fast, so I don't mind. Let's go real quick. Yeah, you drop a lot and a lot of scarabs, and you do use two of these in your map, so it's not too bad. You have roughly a little bit under 4 minutes to full clear the map. It's not too bad. You do have to have a really fast character. You probably do need a headhunter.

character, and you also need a strong character, 'cause you cannot die. If you die and lose this buff, well, I mean, that's it, right? Your map's not fricked, but your map will be a lot less profit. So, you're just spawning a ton of more monsters, a ton more magic monsters, and a ton of more rare monsters. I want to talk about why this is really, really good. I do want to give a huge shout-out to Milky. Milky is the first person I learned this strat from, so I'll probably link his video down below. Yeah, what I'm doing on this strat is essentially enhancing it by scaling it with stuff like GO or stuff like O Blunderbore, which I might do later as well. So, I believe this shrine is actually scalable. I've tested a little bit in-game. I've heard some people that it is, but not 100% confirmed. The reason why I say that is because on PEB, it does say the scalable mod is scalable one, meaning yes, it is scalable chance to

upgrade monster on kill percent, and it has this, you know, same mod as like action speed from like acceleration Shrine, which is scalable, yes. So, obviously, it's not 100% confirmed it is scalable, but you know, with my little bit of testing with some people who stream chat tested it, said it was. I do believe it is scalable with stuff like go and stuff like blunderbore. So, this really brings the farm to a whole new level. Essentially, if you have blunderbore and you have the goal, that 5% chance goes to a 133% chance, which is pretty massive, right? 133% chance for a magic monster you kill is upgraded into a rare monster. It's a lot of extra rare monsters in your map. Um, it should be almost doubled the amount of ram monsters in your map, which is quite insane, honestly. Double the amount of ram monsters in your map is really, really good, especially when you're doing a scare Farm. See, I did with the cold today because obviously fitting the blender board in is kind of hard. You

know as it has a massive strength requirement. You need to go like a supreme setup or something, but I think goal enough is good enough for the farm. Yeah, so here's ATL tree. I'll link down below, of course. Essentially, it's a Scarab Farm tree. I do think more blocks is actually optimal. I was getting quite a bit of containment today doing this. I think you actually want to block more scarabs and, you know, drop more containments. I think you probably only want to take this one, to be honest, maybe Essence as well. We, this early tree and like early F, there definitely a lot to experiment here. This do not really finalize, that's why I'm not going too much over the profit. So, I will show some. There's a lot of potential in this form and definitely can be really, really good. Yeah, but yeah, basic scare partry, all the Quant nodes, all the you map effect nodes, and all like Scarab nodes, right? Pretty, pretty standard. You are using Beyond math device and your scarabs of choice is

scare Nemesis, so this combo really well with any scar form because of Amplified artifacts. 50% increased chance to drop scares per monster modifier affecting them. So, Nemesis scarabs essentially 100% increased chance to drop scarabs from any R you kill. And this Strat does spawn a lot of rare monsters. Bloodlines, another great scare for this Strat. This is the most expensive scare for this Strat and will decide how worth the Strat is doing based off this SC price alone. There probably are other options here. I don't think this one is like mandatory, but it definitely is the best one here currently. It's around half a Divine if you're wondering. And then monsters lineage, just more increase mag pack size. So, the reason why these are very good is because once again of the evolution Shrine. You know, if you have the goal, it's an 8% chance for every single Magic your kill to be upgraded into a rare monster. Or actually, it should be uh 9%. I

believe because you do get 20% effect on your skill tree. You 20% increased effect of shrines on you in maps. So with the gold that is 95%, that'll bring this actually to a 9% buff. So yeah, 9% for every single magic monster in your map to be upgraded to a rare monster. So increasing the amount of magic monsters in your map is really, really, really good. Even increased amount of base monsters in your map, like even like normal monsters, good because that also leads to more magic monsters in your map as well. So yeah, these cards are very, very good for this farm as it just nets a lot more rare monsters in your map. And now two Evolution shrines. I do think if your character is fast enough or if you have some self-cursed temp change setup, you can definitely go down to one Evolution Shrine. Maybe I'll try one tomorrow. And then you can use another scab in here instead, you know, any scab that adds a

lot of generic monsters would work here. I don't really know what, but yeah, there's definitely some stuff you could add. You just something basic like Aver scars would provide additional profit. Yeah, right now I'm doing two. These are pretty common and they're pretty cheap. I don't think the price will change too much after the video. If anything, like I said, scare up blood lines is the one scare up. It is pretty rare, and I think it's like half of the VIN, 0.5. Yeah, 0.4 Vines right now. But I do think it is playable without this. It just won't be as insane. So besides that, um, how you roll your Maps is the standard more scarabs. That is it. So more scarabs, more scars in every single map. You don't want to do more current with the Strat. More scars is definitely how you want to play it. Ideally here, I'm aiming for 120% more scarabs or higher. Will settle with 90% to 100% more scarabs if the map has a

really high Quant and really high pack size. I think a good mix and a good balance of all three is ideal here. And also, real quick to talk about the Scarab chisel. I did test the Scarab chisel, and I think at 0.2 divines each, this chisel is worth using. I think any more is kind of iffy. More testing has to be done whether or not I want to use this, but I think using a regular chisel is completely fine. The profits are pretty similar for both of them. Maybe if you block more though, you drop more containments, then the M chisel of scarabs is worth it once again. 120% scarabs or lower if it has really high Quant and pack size. So for example, this one has 160% pack size. I mean 160% item Quant with 111% more scarabs. So this is pretty good. This one has 128% more scarabs, 140% Quant. So yeah, that's how I roll my master. The Strat higher is

better. Unfortunately, on the new patch though, while they did nerf tier 17s, they also removed a lot of the modifiers that give you more scripts of your map. So, rolling really high scare Maps is pretty difficult now, and pretty much all your maps are going to have this volatile core modifier. As you can see, pretty much more than half of the maps I have right here have a volatile core mod, which is really annoying to run. So, if you don't like running that modifier, then definitely don't do this strategy as it's pretty much mandatory on this modifier as you won't have a good percent more scares without it. Yeah, anyway, uh, yeah, that's about it I guess. One more thing I can add real quick is some of the loot. So, yeah, this was a 1 hour test, uh, before cost by the way, 53 minutes. I had multiples like this where they're all in this 34 to 37 Divine range or 39 divines in 1 hour before cost. I think at the prices I paid, it's

roughly 1.3 to 1.4 divines per map, and you can do like 10 to Ms per an hour, meaning this is anywhere from like 20 to 23 divines per an hour at the current recording of this video. Of course, prices may change after this video, and as you can see, most of your profit is just straight-up scarabs, followed by fragments, which is, you know, stuff like the boss fragment you kill, right? And in terms of what map you want to do, I think any map is fine. I actually do think Sanctuary is probably the best because Sanctuary usually has the highest mob count out of any of the tier 17s in the game. Fortress is always good just because of the barrels, always spawn more loot and more monsters. I mean, more scarabs, yeah. Fortress is good, Sanctuary is good, Z's probably fine 'cause Z boss FRS are really, really good. Any TI 17 is probably ideal, but Sanctuary is probably the best. Anyway, that's about it. I just want to make this video 'cause I think this

strategy is really, really cool. It's something new, and it might be like the best SC for in the game, especially if you have a character that can use both the goal and blunderbore. Unfortunately, I don't. I can only use the a goal. The BL in my character is pretty difficult. Yeah, that's it.
