i must have missed the patch notes on this? how do you reroll vaal fragments themselves into a vaal gem? or does chris mean using the fragment to spawn a corrupted area is like a reroll because unwanted fragments now yield the possibility of a vaal gem / better fragment?

Yes, basically the 2nd (using a fragment to spawn an area can either give a different fragment or a vaal gem).

Found a carto box a few minutes ago (necropolis), got 24 corrupted maps out of it so when the patch is deployed will hopefully give a minimal idea of drops/boss!
cant wait to try this. only lvl 70 cant be too hard.

Do maps with more than 1 boss (Bazaar for example) have a chance per boss, a chance from only one boss, or no chance to drop. I ran a twinned arcade (4 bosses) and not one dropped something vaal, which has been very inconsistent with about 50% drop rate in every other map. Bazaar's 3 bosses didn't drop anything for me either, so between those maps the drop rate has now fallen from 50% to 25% for me, do I assume its just that low or is there something else going on?

Don't know, but I got a double drop by one of my twinned, then next gave nothing (had mirrored maps). At the moment 14 bosses, 7 frags (1 mid) and 2 gems... probably reasonable I guess! (except for a few horrific mods+bosses).

Updated: end of the 31 bosses, 16 frags (1 mid), 4 gems. Carto box seems generally worth it, its nice to make some decent use of lower maps! (although obviously has downsides for better maps if white etc...)

Make Vaal Orb recipe work the other way around. 7 Fragments and 1 Vaal skill gem.
