Corrupted

From Path of Exile Wiki
Revision as of 18:33, 12 March 2021 by >Killodoggy (→‎Appearance: I added some information about corrupted modifiers being implicit and replacing other implicit mods. I added an example of gilded fossils giving a chance to keep the useful modifiers on an item that survives the corruption process. I found this example from empyriangaming's latest youtube video called "poe stream highlights #486". I didn't test this personally, because empyriangaming is a reliable source.)

Implicit modifiers

Corrupted modifiers are implicit.

Corrupted modifiers will remove an implicit modifier from an item and replace it with the corrupted modifier.

Gilded fossils give items an implicit that says item sells for much more to vendors. Items that normally have 1 implicit modifier on them will have 2 implicit modifiers when crafted with a gilded fossil. When corrupting these 2 implicit items, there is a chance that the corrupted implicit will replace the vendor implicit. Because the vendor implicit is not useful (except for selling to vendors), adding it to an item will give it the potential to keep a useful implicit modifier while corrupted. This means items with 1 base implicit have the potential to be stronger when using a gilded fossil on them before corrupting them.
