↖ About T16

Is it possible to execute this strategy on tier 16 maps? While the setup works for tier 16 as well, it is better to stop using expensive scarabs like "Cortex" and to use "Harbinger" and "Domination" scarabs instead in order to not overextend the strategy's budget. None the less, the currency gain will be less than what would be expected from tier 17 maps, yet it is still going to be on the profit side.

↖ Make Strat Easier

What additional items might enhance this strategy? It's highly advisable to run with a Head Hunter. Although it currently costs 17 divines, just the ability it gives to take modifiers from rare monsters makes it worth it. It is most likely that this synergetic strategy is best utilized with a Head Hunter or an Inspired Learning on the "S" subclass of "Scarab" the "Scarab of Nemesis" in question.

Even though scarabs were likely to be more expensive than the current prices that are expected, the strategy is robust due to the cheap nature of the scarabs in play. Most scarab prices could double causing very little in terms of profitability.

Any offering that seems to work for this strategy must entail dealing with the very low chances of prevailing inflation in the costs of tier 17 maps. The only significant market parameter that might change and possibly affect the strategy is the increase in price of tier 17 maps. For as long as tier 17 maps remain self-funding, the strategy should continue to be profitable.
