![[3.24] Back to Basics - T17 Scarab Farming - Min-Maxed Final Form (Its Broken) @Path_of_Chigurh](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TpuQkquuvJc/sddefault.jpg)
Uploaded April 2024 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In this video, I showcase a T17 map that is more juicy than last time. Due to the low price of scarabs when I first showcase this farm on YouTube, the setup didn't need to be min-maxed and I was kinda just speed running maps before people caught on. Now that T17 maps and Bloodlines has go up in value so much, this "forced" me to min-max.
The secret is:
Balance your investment into ALL loot multipliers. Roll maps minimum 130 Quant, 130 Scarab, and 50 Pack Size. "Perfect" being a combination of high rolls between 130-200 Quant, 130-180 Scarab, and 50-90 Pack Size.
Outside of scarabs, we are killing thousands of magic mobs in a 500+ quant environment with 100% quant on "gear" from glimmering, so raw divines and T1/T0 uniques are not uncommon. I would guess probably best place in game to drop a raw Mirror of Kalandra too.
Lastly, I do not suggest running these maps as a magic find character in league unless you can do every map mod and run maps in under 6 minutes. This is because if you had 40% quant on gear, it only increased loot by 9% because of diminishing returns, because we always run Horned Glimmering. Your gear slots are better spent creating a character to do all map mods so you don't have to spend so much chaos rolling maps or dying.

TLDR: Running negative rarity could increase your currency drop rates by around 3.6% to 21%+, but more testing is needed. Specifically, it could be A LOT more during Wildwood Maps. (21% based on having high rarity on gear and killing uniques)
Is it worth to loot Uniques?

In this video, I showcase a map using my new Scarab and Divination farm strategy. This strategy came about because scarabs prices have fallen substantially since I have posted many scarab only farms over the past week. This lead to me diversify my currency making.
Always Running:
Curation & Completion Scarabs (For the Mirrors)
Other 2 Scarab Slots:
Bloodlines = 100%+ More Loot
Glittering = 57% More Loot (Non MF)
Divination = 40% More Loot (150% More Div)
Glittering = 21% More Loot (Full MF)
Hunted Traitor = 20% More Loot
Preservation = 0% More Loot (Depends on Scarab Prices)
For map rolling, since scarabs are only 35-50% of the profit, we dont really care if scarabs are a 140%+ roll. Ideally, I roll my maps to 140% quant, 70% pack size, and 100% scarab, which is roughly a 1 in 150 chaos chance, but like my other strategies, your character needs to be able to do a vast majority of map mods.
While this farm is currently roughly the same profit as a full scarab farm, I believe in a few days, it will be more profitable due to scarab price trajectory.

Additional Notes:
1. Getting +200 life on Blunderbore would be an upgrade to the build through new Vestigial system.
2. I dont run herald of ash because it would not be supported by Quant support.
3. I run all content in sand stance because flesh and stone gives us 20% less dmg taken.
4. I now run 55% low life mastery and enlighten 5 for 10% more HP.

In this video, I discuss what I believe is the best overall SST build in Crucible League. I create this build to avoid any number padding that most people advertise on their build. Additionally, I invest in a well-rounded character that is good at all content instead of just investing into more damage when that damage will do nothing to improve gameplay.

In this video, I discuss my thought process behind all the Back to Basics variants I run. Additionally, while scarab prices are currently very volatile, I ran a 40 map sample and got 13.2 divines per hour just in scarabs as I ran 20 maps in 38 minutes using my Divination variant. This isnt counting any of the divination cards and large currencies I also received thus a conservative 15+ divine profit per hour is very reasonable to expect and can be as high as low 20s per hour.
This pricing is in-league pricing for 4/4/24.
Standard pricing is 60+ divines per hour.
Correction:
Horned scarabs are 100x more common. I said more rare.
When running influenced maps with bloodlines, spec into the 25% pack size nodes on the atlas tree.

In this video, I showcase my updated Scion Ascendant Exsanguinate build that keeps getting better and better both due to patch changes, but also me continuing to min-max it patch after patch.
For reference, back in 3.18 this build had 1/3 the damage and 1/3 the tankiness, thus my math says the build has gotten 900%+ better in the past 5 patches.
In 3.23, GGG changes the quality of Exsanguinate to increase base duration of the skill. This change is actually sleeper OP because Exsanguinate now lasts over 100% longer leaving us free to cast other skills. In my setup, Exsanguinate lasts an insane 10 seconds thanks to Ashes and Temporal Chains.
While GGG did take away the Alt Quality gem I was using for higher clear speed, the base Exsanguinate along with Chain and Unleash is still able to hit 44 targets per cast. Also, I tested the new Exsanguinate of Transmission and I dont think it is good.
Previously, since Exsanguinate had a short duration, we were forced to get our remaining damage from Corrupting Fever since it was just passive damage. Now, we can keep up Reap on tanky targets or bosses, which doubles our damage rather than just a nice bonus with Corrupting Fever.
Along with the 3.23 changes, I continued to min-max the build and the passive tree is now more tanky and DPS efficient than last time, making the build pretty much unkillable while mapping with the following stats:
*80/75% Block with 2% Life Recovery
*90% Chance to Evade
*50% Quality Petrified Blood with Progenesis
*50k+ Armour with Molten Shell
*500+ Net Life Regen
*Blood Notch & Immutable Force Recoup
