PATH OF EXILE 1 · MAP FRAGMENT
Cartography Scarab of the Multitude
Open full guide →The area gains 8 to 12 packs of Difficult and Rewarding Monsters that drop 300% increased Maps.
Use a build and map layout that can clear the additional difficult packs efficiently, and measure the complete map supply result rather than one drop.
The pack count varies, the monsters are explicitly difficult, and increased map drops are not guaranteed profit.
PATH OF EXILE 1 · MAP FRAGMENT
Cartography Scarab of Escalation
Open full guide →The area has 10% increased Maps found for each Map Modifier affecting it.
Count the modifiers that will actually affect the opened map and balance the scaling against the danger those modifiers introduce.
More modifiers can scale map drops while also making the area harder; neither the map count nor profit is fixed.
