IMPORTANT EDIT: 23/09

The strategy just outright sucks right now. Do NOT run it. Replacing Skittering deli orbs with Fine Delirium Orbs seems to lower the cost right now, but still not really good (we're only using them for delirium and praying to RNGesus for good rewards).

Map rolls:

100% More Scarabs (uncorrupted, before chisel), no % More Maps, % More Currency, other rolls didn't care

Scarab Chisel, for obvious reasons

3 Skittering (scarab) Delirium Orbs, Fine would also be good but Diviner's is overpriced right now

FAQ:

Q: Why are there chaos orbs in the cost?

A: It's the cost of the originator maps. I got them for less than 140c each but I put 150c each just in case.

Q: Sample size?

A: 5 maps. This is probably one of the most expensive farms in the game right now, hence the low sample size.

Q: Fubgun said 40d/hour, why is it much less?

A: Because I'm stupid. I forgot I was supposed to boss rush to get the % scarab duplication altars easier. I feel like this cut my profits off by a solid 5-7d. I also died a lot and took about 10 minutes per map. I feel that this is also one of these strategies where if you're not fast enough, you're not going to see a lot of profit/hour.

Q: Atlas tree setup (why are some scarabs blocked/boosted and not others)?

A: https://doobyy.github.io/ScarabEV/#atlas

Q: Should I sell ALL scarabs?
A: No, only ones that are worth it. You can 3:1 at any vendor bad scarabs by selling scarabs highlighted in this regex: https://doobyy.github.io/ScarabEV/#scarabEV

Rating:

Profitability: 10/10. It's extremely potent at printing expensive scarabs. Nothing else to add.

Difficulty: 4-6/10 depending on the build. 60% Delirium already gives some builds trouble, and scarab % rolls do not help as Volatile Cores are part of the potential modifiers, so either tanky build or build with a lot of avoidance. Speed also helps, can't get hurt if you're not there :p. I would recommend using a build that doesn't brick with a lot of/any mods for cheaper maps.

Speed: 4-8/10. Extremely build dependent. Shouldn't expect to be as fast running Boneshatter Juggernaut than LA Deadeye for example. This farm requires clearing most (if not all) enemies as vendoring bad scarabs 3:1 helps a lot.

Investment: 0/10, literally the most expensive farm in the game. Nothing else to add.

Consistency: TBD. I've seen people complaining that they got extremely bad results (as low as 4d/hour or even straight up a loss) and others say that they farmed multiple mirrors with this. My own results say it's pretty consistent, but I'm not everyone.

Enjoyment: 10/10. Popping an entire pack and hearing 2-3 tinks in the same pack is extremely satisfying. A lot of tinks over the entire map too.

Overall: 6-8/10 depending on your patience to collect everything and build. Would not recommend running less than 5 maps if you do run this strategy.
