Temple of Atzoatl Drops as Area Level 10 from Incursion Scarab of Timelines [resolved!]

Hi,

As title mentions, I have encountered a bug with the Temple of Atzoatl drop. This involves the Incursion Scarab of Timelines which creates a map object with area level 10 despite my only running t15-16s during each Alva encounter.

Screenshot below is of my inventory where I drop all of my farmed chronicles, some of which are created from the scarab. Highlighted is all that match 'area level: 10' search filter.


I took a break about 10-11 months ago so this is a relatively recent change.
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Incursion_Scarab_of_Timelines says it generates a temple of area level 1 but I believe this too is a bug. There is no reason there should be a departure from the regular instance area level averaging formula.

You can also see this text change is as recent as March 2025. https://www.poewiki.net/index.php?title=Incursion_Scarab_of_Timelines&diff=prev&oldid=1535007


This bug propagates into other systems within Incursion.
Notably:
* item bases are for level 10s and under (i.e. Driftwood Club, Cone Helmet)
* Currency rooms (Wealth of the Vaal) drop currency up to Blessed Orb tier rarity
* Map rooms (Surveyor's Study) doesn't have a map drop Dusty Charts - because who's mapping at level 10?

Don't know which is the 3.24 thread, but here is why I posted a new one:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3720890 - have someone who believes that is intended functionality when it is not

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3506376 - incorrect description of problem as it does not average based on initial zone level; all map runs for my case were t16s (alvl 83)

As per your quoted "How to Report Bugs", very few of these include the /bug run command with the output game instance records.

I have included this in my original report. See below.

Bug Report ID: #2282193077
Bug Report ID: #3507904620

Furthermore, this is new bug behavior as all area levels are now 10 and not 1. So it is possible they put in a fix but it didn't solve the problem... hence this "new" thread should still be permitted to exist.

I will maintain visibility on this issue as long as I can.

So you think you are the first one to discover this even worse situation in 3.25?

Sure, why not. Can't find w/ search term "area level 10", so perhaps I am. I welcome evidence to the contrary :)

NeoHK, I love ya ‘n’ all, but OP is a paying customer - not a paid employee. You can’t expect that they sink endless time into searching the forum, and tbqh they don’t owe GGG that (or anything else). They posted a solid bug report and if I worked in QA for GGG I’d be absolutely thrilled.

Great post, 2ne8. 👍

if you consider yourself customer, just abandon this game. There is no excuse that people has spammed this bug at 3.25 league start (the new area level 1 behavior) which is many months ago ,and then this thing is not even exist in the known bug list, and then many big name of this company have gone.

There is no point to create new thread if they have no excuse that does not read or knew this bug.

I'd be curious to know what you consider yourself sir.

But thank you for all the bumps, clearly you appreciate the gravity of this issue as I do. Please keep them coming.
