Sanchos Smazhnuy's Notes

Welcome to POE! In this guide, I showcase a "Scarab Overflow" strategy designed to maximize the drop rate of high-value and rare Scarabs. By utilizing a specific Atlas passive tree that prioritizes Strongbox nodes while disabling less profitable league mechanics, I demonstrate how to hunt for Operative's Strongboxes within the Astral Realm (Mirage).
