This should've been so fucking obvious to me as a poe1 player that I can't believe I've missed it. For those of you don't know, in poe1 vaal orbing a gem can have several outcomes: 1: a level 20 gem gets pushed to lvl 21 and surpasses the max limit of 20 2. a 20 quality gem gets 23 quality and surpasses the max limit of 20 3. Turns into a vaal version of the skill gem which uses souls instead of mana to unleash about 5 times stronger skill (which seems like there's none in poe2) 4. Nothing happens and it just gets corrupted. So now that gems have sockets, it makes sense that one of the options adds a socket
Wouldn't you rather wait to Vaal after you have increased the quality on them? Quality often has really good bonuses on the gems and can dramatically increase their damage.
No because that would take forever to max a gem quality and then brick it with corruption You start with the hardest part first which is the corruption and waste it on throwaways and if they hit then just max that gem out
@gringoboy701 You can't use gemcutters on the skill once it's corrupted. But I would still say to save your gemcutters. A 6 link is often more powerful than quality, and you can just wait till you can afford a real 6 link and then add the quality.
@gringoboy701 you can't quality a corrupted gem, also it doesn't take nearly as long to max. They buffed Gem Cutters prisms to give 5% quality per GCP instead of 1%.
with how common skill gems are and the price of the second tier of jewelers it's much smarter to actually vaal. Much more cost effective even if you brick multiple skill gems. Especially with going for the final socket, even if you gcp the skill, it's just such a massive money saver with the final tier of sockets. Cant stress enough how much of a money saver this is even if your brick like 5 skills.
@@luissan8422It's a currency drop like all the other orbs, just rare, you won't find 20 to gamble with in the first 3 acts. His definition of early game is more so end game I think lol
i did it on my 2nd try corrupting gem, i have question i can only corrupt it once right? if you already have +1 socket, you can't have another socket with the same corrupted gem?
Don't worry about the quality this early in the game. Gemcutters are expensive and you shouldn't waste them on the lottery. Just use a corrupted 6 link until you can afford a real one to pump quality on.
Tried this just now. I hit multiple times. Buying the vaal orbs and lesser jewelers orbs and rolling like this, statistically is always cheaper than buying the greater jewelers orbs themselves.
Unless I'm missing something, this isn't worth for 5 slots. Medium jeweler costs about 20e and large jeweler is about 50e so you only get 2.5 tries. Worth it to do from 3 > 4 though for an early power boost

Yes but it stops you from upgrading quality or adding a 5th slot right?
YES
51 hours and haven't even seen a corrupted orb
In the campaign they drop in act 3, since it's tied with the Vaal Lore. You can also find a corruption altar there that acts the same as a Vaal Orb.
That's because they don't exist, Vaal orbs do though lol

By that point when you wait they’ll just bri k your build lol

lost all my 7 lesser jews and 7 vaal. and no 4 slot. this is big rng gambling.
Save gemcutters til they buff it from 1% to 5%
@@y0shii154 The buff is already in.
Where can I see your updated build? Really liked it
Ty for the tip! I got lucky with just 5 vaal orbs
Thanks for the content . Anyway you can explain a tiny bit slower for us new players to this system .
All streamers do this. It's like they've drank 40 cans of redbull.
Hahahah yeah, so the Currupted orb you get it on the game? Buy it? What??

so you feel like the gemling
I'm following your build and I'd be interested in what gem support you're using, early and late.
i did it on my 2nd try corrupting gem, i have question i can only corrupt it once right? if you already have +1 socket, you can't have another socket with the same corrupted gem?
can you level up/upgrade corrupted gems?
You can level them up, but you cannot add quality or another socket afterwards.
Wait what you can mod gems?!
How do you have to mana for that?
As a new player to POE, I have no idea what all that means. I need to watch a video on how to get more slots lmao.
@@impexxable You use what's called a lesser jewelers orb. There is a side quest in act three that guarantees to drop one.
So just Vaal when max quality and for last gem slot?

Bad idea, corrupting gems stops you from being able to add quality, short term gratification is never better than long term achievement.
Can you improve quality on corrupted gems ?
@vik8023 No, anything that is corrupted can't be upgraded or augmented at all. Which is my counter argument to what Mtashed is saying.
Pause... ELI5 how this grants you extra spell sockets early my guy.... Cause I somehow missed that explanation..
the update fool, more drops
should I talk about how many of the subscribers have been mobile players 🤔
3 days!
It’s been out for like… 6 days 🤷♂️🤷♂️
That’s actually ridiculous 😂😂
Wtf dude. 😅
Nope. That’s far too risky early game. The RNG to hit must be incredibly low.
Uhhh in three DAYS played, you can definitely get this done
@ I’m a Warrior. POE 2.0 already makes me nervous! 😬
Tried this just now. I hit multiple times. Buying the vaal orbs and lesser jewelers orbs and rolling like this, statistically is always cheaper than buying the greater jewelers orbs themselves.
Warrior game play is way to slow
Watch Aztacross and his warrior build. It's broken.
So you should probably mention not to do this on a gem with three slots :/
10 trys no succes...
I got a greater jeweller orb in act 3 normal and used it on my skill never knowing it was a really rare drop hahaha noob move
Unless I'm missing something, this isn't worth for 5 slots. Medium jeweler costs about 20e and large jeweler is about 50e so you only get 2.5 tries.
Worth it to do from 3 > 4 though for an early power boost
This is good content right here
Algo
3 fkn days
Did we credit the source tho?
meh a bit of a bait, you will no longer be able to upgrade the quality of it or get the last slot. Not worth it
