Path of Exile 3.24 Necropolis gave us a whole lot of new scarabs for every league mechanic, including Blight. One of them is the Blight Scarab of Bounty, which grants you a 20% chance to open a Blight chest again. It also has a limit of 2, so you can get 40% chance in total. But does it actually work as intended? How efficient is the scarab really? There has been some chatter that it is not as good as advertised, so let's check it out, and run 120 maps for comparison.

Make sure to checkout my profile on the Path of Exile website, if you want to know what gear I am currently using. You can also import the character into Path of Building of course.
