Corruption Orbs

Corruption Orb System (Version 1.19.0)

In version 1.19.0, a new system introduced a rare consumable item called a "Corruption Orb."

WARNING: As of this patch, do not use Corruption Orbs on RUNEWORDS, as it will destroy the runes and the runeword, leaving you with only the base item, now corrupted.

What is a Corruption Orb?

A Corruption Orb is a consumable item, similar to the Token of Absolution, that you can transmute in your cube with a piece of gear to "corrupt" it.

What Does the Corruption Orb Do?

The Corruption Orb has a chance of adding an affix to items (weapons, armor, shields) that you combine it with. However, it is possible that nothing happens.

On successful use, the item will receive the "Corrupted" tag. Notice the affix added in this case was "Cannot be Frozen." Your new item will have an iLvl of 99.

Note: The orb is not consumed until the property is applied, regardless of the effect it has. It the orb never gets consumed, the corruption has failed. Once something has successfully or failed being corrupted you can not corrupt it again.

How to Use the Corruption Orb

Using the Corruption Orb is straightforward:

1. Place the Corruption Orb in the cube with any item.
2. Cube the item TWICE:

  * The first cube will have no visible effect, but it adds the "Corrupted" tag to the item. Behind the scenes, this is when the property roll happens, determining the final outcome (but not yet applying it).
  * The second cube actually transforms the item based on the previously determined outcome.

Note: The orb is not consumed until the property is applied, regardless of the effect it has. It the orb never gets consumed, the corruption has failed. Once something has successfully or failed being corrupted you can not corrupt it again.
