Talk:Vaal Breach

Use?

I think that the page lacks some information. Where can that skill be used? Anywhere? What is it good for if these monsters give no experience and drop no items? --DarkUnknown (talk) 13:21, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

All large breach chests have shadows/glows around them, this way you can encounter in the wild. When you open a breach next to it, these chests become "active". The other reason to use the gem is to get flask charges I guess. — TheFrz — 14:29, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

No, Vaal Breach does not interact with Breach Chests in any way. Source. --Connor (Talk | contribs) 17:32, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. So they may be spawned anywhere, but are useful only when you need some additional enemies for leech or on kill effects, like for example when fighting a boss like Ambrius. Maybe some of it could be added to the page. --DarkUnknown (talk) 17:24, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

3.14 change

Can anyone able to test it can be vaaled without Zana Breach mod or not? I tested that i can vaal it with Zana Breach mod in this league, but run out of portal gem to test it without Zana. Neokowloon (talk) 05:44, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Acquisition myths

I have suspected for a long time that the requirement to be in a map with the "Breach" map device modifier while vaaling a Portal gem was a superstition, not a fact. The Slipperyjim video showing him vaaling 100 Portal gems isn't proof of the claim that you must be in a map with Breach; it simply shows that vaaling a Portal gem sometimes turns it into a Vaal Breach gem. During Breach league and for some time afterward, it may have truly been a requirement to be in an area with the Breach flag, but that likely changed at some point. Others have claimed to be able to get Vaal Breach gems by vaaling Portal gems in their hideout.[1][2]

On a related note, the version 3.19.0 patch notes state that "Due to a technical limitation, Vaal Breach is not able to be obtained through corrupting Portal Gems." The question is when did this "technical limitation" arise? I can't confirm this, but I suspect the last time Vaal Breach could be obtained by vaaling a Portal gem was before version 3.17.0. That was Siege of the Atlas, and when GGG did a significant rework to endgame systems.
