Question to those who have done it. When corrupting gems, is there a way to tell what it does if you use it on a level 1 gem(aside from adding quality)? I see so many corrupted empower etc but they're level 1... Can people tell if they're duds, or if they have lvl4 max possible?

The only known for me effect of Vaal Orbs on gems are:
Increasing level (+1)
Decreasing level (-1)
Increasing Quality (can even make Q23% from 0)
Decreasing Quality (random value)
Turning normal gem into Vaal gem.

level 4 empower IS possible!

wow nice - too bad nobody puts their attacks into a 3 socket 1h weapon, but still nice

Melee vaal skill

Nah, vaal skills aren't spammed constantly with high mana costs.

I'm a blender, so a guildmate suggested Dominating Blow due to its high mana costs, so linked to faster attacks and... Added Ice? Culling Strike? Domblow a pack, cyclone through them, the pack of converts screws up the mob AI, and I keep cycloning through them?

Also, another guildmate managed to corrupt Eleweakness on hit on a pair of ~730 facebreakers. Which is hilarious with Infernal Blow.

This is no longer true. The 0%->23% bug was patched in one of the hotfix patches few days ago. As far as I know, it can now increase or decrease quality by 1-3%.

BALLS?
wts perfect corrupted kaom :D

It can also do nothing. Bricking the gem, but u can lvl it.

before you do this remember the colours of the sockets cannot be changed afterwards. It's too bad to see many legacy Shavs losing like 20-50% of their value being in effect like a mirrored Shavs; usually everyone wants different colours for their needs...

I agree, I don't understand people using corrupted orbs on shav's, it already has an amazing implicit bonus, why change it?

Plus you lock the socket colors... GG useless item


Chests are one of the worst items to use a vaal orb on.

Best vaal orb is Amulets/Rings/Belts/Gems anything without sockets that you don't actually need the implicit bonus or colors

2nd best is shield, Weapon, since those have fewest sockets or usefull implicit mods

3rd is gloves, boots, helm since the socket colors can really be important on these, different for each person.

4th is chest since it has most sockets critical to any build


Only use Vaal orb on common uniques or rares that are a dime a dozen, never on one that is irreplaceable.

If you look at the pool of mods you can easily see that it's just not worth the risk on certain gear slots
