We need Vaal Orbs. Specifically, PoE 2’s Vaal orbs!
Corruption is such a cool mechanic. Especially more so in PoE2 than Poe1.
For those that do not know, using a Vaal Orb (a currency) will make the item “final” (no other new modifications can be made), and it will do one of the following (assuming Unique items):
- (25%) No change.
- (25%) Randomises the numerical values of explicit modifiers, then applies a modifier magnitude multiplier of 0.78x to 1.22x
- (25%) Adds a special enchantment to the item.
- (25%) Adds an item socket to martial weapons and armour, ignoring socket limits.
The last bit about sockets can be something else, but the big moneymaker is randomising the rolls outside of their range.
So a mod that can roll 40%~100% can now become 32%~122%.
Whether you’d need any FP or not, or other finer details, I’d leave that to the masterminds behind the amazing crafting system of LE. I just think it adds that final bit of “juice” to the very top of the items.
