Corruption Altar

Within the Locus of Corruption, the player can interact with the Corruption Altar in the centre of the room to access a device that can be used to corrupt a single item, with potentially powerful or destructive results. This works somewhat like a Vaal OrbVaal OrbStack Size: 20Corrupts an item, modifying it unpredictablyRight click this item then left click an item to corrupt it. Corrupted items cannot be modified again. but has different outcomes. The types of items that can be corrupted this way include weapons, armour, jewellery, quivers and jewels. The device can only be used on an item that is not already corrupted.

In addition to corrupting the item, one of four possible outcomes will be applied to it. Each has an equal chance of occurring.

• The item may gain two corruption implicit modifiers. These will replace the same amount of implicit modifiers already on the item; items with three or more implicits (e.g. synthesised items and/or Gilded FossilGilded FossilStack Size: 10Item is overvalued by vendorsPlace in a Resonator to influence item crafting. will have two of their implicits replaced randomly.
  • This outcome is often referred to by players as "double corrupting" the item.
  • If the item being corrupted is a normal Sacrificial GarbSacrificial GarbArmour: (329-378)
    Evasion: (329-378)

• The item may have the colour of all of its sockets become white.
  • This outcome may occur even if the item has no sockets, in which case it will have no effect.
• The item may become an influenced rare item of the same base type, with random modifiers.
  • This is usually considered a bad outcome when a valuable item is being corrupted, since the item will have all of its affixes rerolled. This is referred to by players as "bricking" the item.
  • Like regular corruption, this outcome respects metamods (Prefixes Cannot Be Changed or Suffixes Cannot Be Changed).
• The item may be destroyed completely. It will cease to exist.
