Corrupted is a special modifier and item tag. Items and craftable objects with the Corrupted tag cannot be altered further through regular crafting methods, and cannot be reversed. The process of making something corrupted is referred to as corruption.
Sources of corrupted items
- Using a
Vaal Orb on items, strongboxes, or other eligible objects will cause them to become corrupted and may also result in one of several unpredictable outcomes, dependent on base type or item class and item level. - Corrupted strongboxes may contain corrupted items.
- Item rewards offered in the Trial of Chaos are typically corrupted.
Corruption enchantment modifiers
Corruption enchantments or Vaal enchantments are special enchantment modifiers from a pool dependent on the item's item class and item level. They are displayed in red, visually distinct from other enchantments. They do not replace existing enchantments. Similarly, adding enchantments such as by socketing runes or soul cores will not replace existing corruption enchantments.
