Help and Information – Understanding Corrupted Gems – Forum – Path of Exile

Hi,

I would like understand why to take gems corrupted. I do n’t talk about vaal corrupted, but for exemple “ Faster Attacks Support ” which is corrupted ..

Thanks !

Yeah, the most common reason to corrupt a gem is that it is the merely room to get degree 21 or 23 quality gems .
U MAD ?

so, is there no appoint for using them ( not vaal gems ) ? And with corruption, we can not levelup the jewel ?
Is it better to use only gem corrupted ?

Thanks : )

Is it better to use only gem corrupted?

Thanks 🙂

so, is there no consign for using them ( not vaal gems ) ? And with corruption, we can not levelup the jewel ? Is it better to use entirely gem corrupted ? Thanks : )

Corrupted gems are still just regular gems. The only thing that changes is that you cannot use currency items on them, like any other corrupted item (so you cannot use GCPs on them). Corrupted gems can still level up. Unless you are trying to turn a gem into a vaal gem, there is no reason to corrupt a gem that is under level 20. Corrupted gems are placid just even gems. The entirely thing that changes is that you can not use currency items on them, like any other corrupt item ( so you can not use GCPs on them ). Corrupted gems can still level up. Unless you are trying to turn a gem into a vaal jewel, there is no reason to corrupt a jewel that is under level 20. U MAD ?

However it’s possible the level cap will be 19 instead of 20.

No. This is not true. If you vaal a level 20 gem, and it goes to 19, you can still level it back to 20. No. This is not true. If you vaal a level 20 gem, and it goes to 19, you can still level it back to 20. U MAD ?

sol, is there no tear for using them ( not vaal gems ) ? And with corruption, we can not levelup the jewel ? Is it better to use only muffin corrupted ? Thanks : )

Corrupted gems are still barely regular gems. The only thing that changes is that you can not use currency items on them, like any other defile item ( so you can not use GCPs on them ). Corrupted gems can calm level up. Unless you are trying to turn a muffin into a vaal gem, there is no argue to corrupt a muffin that is under degree 20 .

So items ith “+2 lvl socked” does not work? Do you recommend to me choose only corrupted item? 🙂 so items ith “ +2 lvl socked ” does not work ? Do you recommend to me choose merely corrupt detail ? : )

What do you mean ? +gem levels on items have nothing to do with it. Regardless of whether or not a gem is corrupted they still get the +levels from items, if socketed in an token with +levels.

Corrupting is the lone way to get over degree 20 on the jewel itself .
U MAD ?
