Orb of Corruption
From Path of Diablo Wiki
Description
A mysterious orb. It corrupts an item, granting it new properties and, in some cases, even reforging it into a totally new item. It drops randomly from monsters/chests etc.
How to Corrupt an Item
- Recipe: Place the Orb of Corruption into the Horadric Cube with another item and press the Transmute button twice.
- Any item can be corrupted with the recipe above, EXCEPT the following (cannot be corrupted):
- Normal / White Items
- Items that already have sockets
- Ethereal items
- Charms
- Jewels
An item can only be corrupted once. The word "Corrupted" will then appear in red text under the item's description.
- Items that have been upgraded (e.g. normal -> exception -> elite) can still be corrupted, and vice versa. However, some items may benefit from being upgraded prior to corruption to increase the maximum number of possible sockets obtained by a successful corruption. For example, Skin of the Vipermagi has a base maximum of 2 sockets (Serpentskin Armor) but an upgraded maximum of 4 sockets (Wyrmhide). For more information see Corrupting for Maximum Sockets.
- Corrupted items that did not gain sockets can still be socketed through the Larzuk quest, but not the Horadric Cube recipes.
