A corrupted sword with a white socket

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.

  • 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.

Corruption outcomes

When an item is corrupted, or drops corrupted, one of the following outcomes will apply at random. The specific effect within each outcome may use a weight system dependent on item level and item class/base type.
