The Apothecary is a powerful and rare divination card in the Path of Exile. It can be exchanged for Mageblood, a valuable currency in the game. The Apothecary has some restrictions on where or how it can drop and is most likely to drop in maps with a tier 8 or higher difficulty. This makes it a rare and valuable find, and players should make sure to run higher-tier maps to maximize their chances of finding this card.

 

 

This guide is about how to get Apothecary cards in tier 9 maps. We will explore the best Atlas setup, the scarabs to use, and the investment of time and Poe currency to get a guaranteed Apothecary card.

 

First, let's take a look at the Crimson Temple Map and the Divination Cards that can drop from it. The Apothecary card has a drop level of 75, and there are also other cards such as Enlightened and Seven Years Bad Luck that drop from levels 60 and 35 respectively. 

 

For the Atlas setup, it is best to focus on Breaches and Beyond mechanics. We will use Elder Scarabs, Gated Divination Scarabs, Gilded Breach Scarabs, and Amber Scarabs to get Diviner Strong Boxes. This investment of around 6 Divine Orbs for 50 maps will likely be returned in Poe currency and cards. We will also use Sextants, Watcher's Eye, and Fortune Favors the Brave to get more monster packs and quantity. 

 

When running the map, we should focus on opening the Diviner Strong Boxes first and killing the monsters. We should also open any Breaches that spawn to get extra loot. After completing the map, we should have a stack of Divination cards and currency. 

 

Unfortunately, with this setup, we can't guarantee a Mage Blood card. After running 50 maps, we got two Enlightened cards and one Seven Years Bad Luck card. With this setup, we will likely need around 300 maps for a guaranteed Mage Blood card. 

 

Overall, this is a great way to get Apothecary cards in tier 9 maps. It requires a lot of investment of Poe currency and time, but it is still worth it for those looking for a guaranteed Apothecary card.
