This is how the Scarab crypt looks in the Watchtower's Crypts and Arenas list. The Watchtower filters by rarity and level but not by crypt type, so you pick it out by its picture.

Only the Scarab crypt drops Ancient Scarab, so there's no other way to farm it from crypts. Epic crypts unlock with the Crypts III research at level 15 and use Epic Tar, which runs out much faster than common Tar. A common rule is to wait until you clear a level 25 Common crypt in one march.

Let a bot run these crypts

Its Explore specific crypts only option sends your captains only to the crypts you tick, like the Scarab crypt, and skips the rest of the list. TB Crypt Auto-Explorer is a Chrome extension that runs the crypt loop for you: it sets the Watchtower filter, sends Carter (or three captains at once), speeds up the march with your own speedups and sends him out again the moment he's home. It never buys Tar or anything else.

Bots are against Total Battle's rules, so using one is at your own risk.
