Alright, let’s talk about this “Divination Scarab of the Cloister” thing in Path of Exile. I’ve been messing around with it, and it’s kind of a trip. So, picture this: I’m trying to farm some divination cards, right? But, I wanted to make it more efficient.
I heard about this new scarab, the Divination Scarab of Curation, at first. But, they changed it up. Now, it’s called the “Divination Scarab of the Cloister,” and it works differently. Initially, I was thinking, “Cool, more divination cards!” That’s not quite how it goes.
I started by slapping the scarab into the map device. Remember, these scarabs don’t open new areas. They just modify the map you put in there. No extra portals or anything fancy like that. The whole point is to get more divination card, so I rolled a few maps, threw in the scarab, and jumped in.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Instead of just raining divination cards, this scarab adds a bunch of extra monster packs to the map. They are these Doedre’s Devoted dudes. And each pack has a chance to drop a Stacked Deck. It’s not a huge chance, just 1% per pack. But, I figured, the more monsters, the more chances, yeah?
So, I ran a few maps like this. I was clearing the map, and every now and then, these Doedre’s Devoted would show up. It felt like there were more monsters overall, which is kind of nice for experience and other loot, too. I did get a few Stacked Decks, which was cool. They are not divination cards themselves, but they can give you one when you open them. It’s a bit of a gamble, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
- First, I gathered some of these new Divination Scarabs of the Cloister.
- Then, I got some maps ready.
- Popped a scarab and a map into the device.
- Ran the maps, expecting more divination cards.
- Got surprised by packs of Doedre’s Devoted instead.
- Realized these packs drop Stacked Decks.
- Kept running maps, got some Stacked Decks.
After doing this for a while, I realized it’s not about getting tons of specific divination cards directly. It’s more about getting a lot of Stacked Decks and hoping they turn into something good. It’s kind of like a lottery within a lottery.
Honestly, it wasn’t what I expected at first. But, it’s still a fun way to change up the gameplay. You get more action with the extra monsters, and there’s always that little thrill when a Stacked Deck drops. It’s not the best way to get specific cards, but it’s a good way to get a bunch of random ones.
I kept at it for a bit, just to see what kind of cards I’d end up with. It’s definitely not the most efficient way to farm specific divination cards. But, it’s a neat little twist if you’re getting bored with the usual grind. Plus, who doesn’t like a little extra chaos in their maps?
My Conclusion
So, the Divination Scarab of the Cloister is a weird one. It adds more monsters that can drop Stacked Decks, which might give you divination cards. It’s like an extra layer of randomness. It’s not gonna make you rich quick, but it’s a fun little diversion. If you’re into that, give it a shot. Just don’t expect to be swimming in the exact divination cards you want.
That’s my two cents on this whole scarab thing. It’s a bit different, a bit messy, but hey, that’s Path of Exile for you. Always keeping us on our toes, right? I just share what I found here. Maybe it helps someone else figure this stuff out a bit faster.
