Path of Exile: Understanding Corrupted Gear
In Path of Exile, the concept of Corrupted Gear introduces an element of risk and reward to the game's loot system. This guide will explain what Corruption is, how to corrupt gear, how to find corrupted items, and what corrupted gems are. Understanding these mechanics can enhance your gameplay experience and help you make the most of your items.

What Is Corruption?
Corruption is a modifier that alters an item's properties in a way that renders it unmodifiable by traditional means. Once an item is corrupted, it cannot be altered using regular currency like Orbs of Alteration or Exalted Orbs. The primary feature of corruption is its unpredictability; the outcome of corruption is often random, and it can either enhance or negatively impact an item’s attributes.

For example, a Nitrate Greater Mana Flask with the Corrupted modifier might still function normally, but you won’t be able to upgrade or alter its properties further. The Corruption modifier may come with positive effects, such as adding a beneficial mod, or it may come with drawbacks, like reduced stats or altered item functionality.
