You can't seek riches without getting your hands dirty.

I think I will complete the legion league with 2/3 of them.

Scarabs (all of them) ought to just be regular (rare) drops, or at least drops from map bosses. Putting one on a div card is just a band-aid, and not a very effective one.

I absolutely agree with that.

They can have sextant rarity.

apprentice rusted
journey polished
master gilded

That's stupid... if you know where you are (point A) and you have a map with an X showing where the sulphite scarab is buried (point B), then just travel in as straight a line as the terrain allows to get to the X and not run in loop-d-loops across the island. The route plotted on the map is worthless.  :)

But I'm sure this divi-card is a T13+ map drop or a deeper than level 200 delve chest drop. Either way it's another find only available for the no-lifers.

I'm curious who actually payed $800 to make delve more accessible :)

It will be easier to farm the actual scarabs from syndicate bosses then these cards.

Map which drop it can be made shaped/eldered, to farm it all day long. It is few additional scarabs/day aside from all other loot.

That's very optimistic on the drop rate, you're also assuming it drops in a map at all.

well we can say for sure its not a delve item ... so its either map / abyss or brach ... abyss already has a delve dic cards

so breach or map is left, so lets cross our fingers for map drop <3

wouldnt be surprised if it only drops in delve lol

So this card is a fix (get more scarabs) for the fix (use scarabs to force Niko encounter) of an arbitrarily introduced problem (Niko encounters are RNG based) for another arbitrarily introduced problem (ridiculous amounts of sulphite necessary to delve beyond trivial depths).

How about changing master scarabs to pure loot increase mods and just let the atlas objectives respawn more frequently, e. g. once you complete any map, master objectives that currently are not on the Atlas have a chance to respawan on any map and the objectives that are already on the atlas have a chance to move to another map. The chance for an objective to respawn should steadily increase the longer it's not on the atlas.
Of course there should be no additional random master encounters and Alva shouldn't spawn at all if the temple is ready. This would also help those who suffer from the Syndicate lag issues or generally don't want to play certain encounters.

I also think Abyss, Breach, Harbingers, Perandus and Lab encounters should have their own markers and should be handled in a similar way.

That way people would still have to work to get their sulphite and other stuff and scarabs would still be valuable but there's at least a decent way to target farm.
