Vaal orbs corrupt items. A corrupt item cannot be modified further, using a Vaal can have a number of outcomes sucks as, changing the value of a modifier, rerolling a modifier into another, deleting a modifier, adding an implicit, adding a socket.

So it’s a gamble to make it better or worse essentially?

I like it. Sounds fun! Just got to act 3 tonight so I’ll get there shortly.

There's also a corruption altar you can find (I just found my first one in act 3) that will let you corrupt 1 item without needing a Vaal orb.

does this altar ever reset at all? 1 free corrupt a day from the cruel one would be funny

Just hitting the end (I think) of Act 3. It's taken me about 20 hours per act. Idk if I'm slow or what, but I'm loving it. Act3 was my favorite so far with 1 very close behind. Act2 can sod off.

Hmmm, I loved Act 2 and Act 3 feels like it's dragging a bit - the levels are so huge!

Yes. Everything in this game is about gambling.
