¶ Corruption Affixes By Gear
There is a 55% chance a corruption is successful, adding a beneficial property to an item.
- 1% chance best outcome (top row)
- 5-7% chance for all other outcomes
There is a 45% chance a corruption fails. A failure can be broken down into three outcomes:
- 25% chance no property is added
- 10% chance the item is converted to a Rare Item
- 10% chance the item is converted to a White Item (or Magic for Jewelry)
DO NOT CORRUPT RUNEWORDS - Corrupt the base item first, and then craft your Runeword.
When corrupting set items you must remove all other items from that set from your character first.
Put related set items in shared stash. Save and Exit the game, join a new game, and then corrupt your intended set item.
Failing to do so will apply the corruption to the set bonus and will only be effective when set bonuses are active.
