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 as follows (cannot be corrupted):
  • Normal / White Items
  • Items that already have sockets
  • Ethereal items
  • A single item can only be corrupted once. The word "Corrupted" will then appear in red text under the item's description. Any subsequent attempts to corrupt this item will have no effect (but will not consume an Orb of Corruption)
  • 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). See Corrupting for Maximum Sockets for more.
  • Corrupted items that did not gain sockets can still be socketed through the Larzuk quest, but not the Horadric Cube recipes.
