This emblem symbolizes a player’s engagement with the Wilderness and serves various functions, primarily linked to the lucrative rewards system associated with player kills.

Acquisition of the Scarab Emblem

Players can obtain the Scarab Emblem by defeating other players in the Wilderness. Each time a player successfully kills another in PvP combat, there is a chance to receive this emblem as loot. The emblem drops from players who are wearing it and can be a rewarding experience for those who enjoy the thrill of Wilderness combat.

Wilderness Level: The likelihood of obtaining the emblem increases in higher Wilderness levels, making high-risk, high-reward situations more appealing.

Uses of the Scarab Emblem

The Scarab Emblem is primarily used for upgrading and claiming rewards in the Wilderness, providing players with various incentives to engage in PvP combat. Here are some of its main uses:

Upgrade System: Players can upgrade their Scarab Emblem at the Emblem Trader located in the Wilderness, allowing them to receive better rewards.
Claiming Rewards: Each upgraded emblem can be exchanged for valuable items and resources, making it a sought-after item for those looking to enhance their PvP experience.

Upgrading the Scarab Emblem

Players can upgrade their Scarab Emblem through a tier system. As players successfully kill opponents and collect more emblems, they can increase the tier of their emblem, unlocking better rewards:
