Put four additional Strongboxes into the map.
Using this Scarab in a personal Map Device makes the area contain four additional Strongboxes. It supplies encounters, not guaranteed box types or rewards, so Atlas choices and the boxes actually encountered still matter.
Prepare for four boxes, not four guaranteed payouts.
Pair it with a map and Atlas setup that benefits from additional Strongboxes, then clear and open all four. Compare its cost with the strategy's complete reward pattern rather than one exceptional box.
Strongbox type and contents vary, and opening boxes can create dangerous monster encounters. Confirm the map is worth enhancing before consuming the Scarab.
Ambush strategies create direct Scarab demand.
Price follows league supply and the popularity of Strongbox farming. The market buys four additional opportunities; it does not price a guaranteed special Strongbox or valuable contents.
