Item acquisition

Soul's Wick is drop disabled.

Legacy variants

Any variants of Soul's Wick are legacy items as it is removed from the corruption transformation (e.g. use vaal orb on the jewel) drop pool in version 3.23.0. However, only jewel that dropped from the monster/divination card, etc. before version 3.20.0, are non-corrupted.

All variants can only be obtained from trading with other players in the permanent leagues, with the exception on creating Soul's Wick that have corruption implicit(s).

Players can still trade with other players in permanent leagues to obtain a non-corrupted Soul's Wick, and then try to corrupt the jewel to potentially obtain one corruption implicit (or two from Altar of Corruption); It is not obtainable in temp league since version 3.20.0.

Version history

From version 3.20.0 to version 3.22.2b, Soul's Wick could be obtained as a corruption transformation outcome for Cobalt Jewels. Before that, the jewel was a world drop.

Version Changes
3.23.0
  • Alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments and unique threshold jewels are all systems that were trying to subtly modify the behaviour of skills. With this expansion these have been combined into a new system called Transfigured Gems that allows us to fully achieve the goal of these three systems, and then some.
