Temple of Atzoatl Drops as Area Level 10 from Incursion Scarab of Timelines

Hi,

As title mentions, I have encountered a bug with the Temple of Atzoatl drop. This involves the Incursion Scarab of Timelines which creates a map object with area level 10 despite my only running t15-16s during each Alva encounter.

Screenshot below is of my inventory where I drop all of my farmed chronicles, some of which are created from the scarab. Highlighted is all that match 'area level: 10' search filter.


I took a break about 10-11 months ago so this is a relatively recent change.
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Incursion_Scarab_of_Timelines says it generates a temple of area level 1 but I believe this too is a bug. There is no reason there should be a departure from the regular instance area level averaging formula.

You can also see this text change is as recent as March 2025. https://www.poewiki.net/index.php?title=Incursion_Scarab_of_Timelines&diff=prev&oldid=1535007


This bug propagates into other systems within Incursion.
Notably:
* item bases are for level 10s and under (i.e. Driftwood Club, Cone Helmet)
* Currency rooms (Wealth of the Vaal) drop currency up to Blessed Orb tier rarity
* Map rooms (Surveyor's Study) doesn't have a map drop Dusty Charts - because who's mapping at level 10?

Don't know which is the 3.24 thread, but here is why I posted a new one:

As per your quoted "How to Report Bugs", very few of these include the /bug run command with the output game instance records.

I have included this in my original report. See below.

Bug Report ID: #2282193077
Bug Report ID: #3507904620

Furthermore, this is new bug behavior as all area levels are now 10 and not 1. So it is possible they put in a fix but it didn't solve the problem... hence this "new" thread should still be permitted to exist.

I will maintain visibility on this issue as long as I can.
