#POE STRONGBOX ORBS MOD#

Mod Summary: Corrupt Cartographer's boxes whenever you roll 'of Abundance' (+# items), 'of Bounty' (+% items), or 'of Kalandra' (mirrored) in order to get very, VERY high-quantity maps. However, you want to be careful with this if you're running a build which gets brutalized by certain map mods, because nothing is more annoying than having a 127% Dungeon map that you can't use. The main reason you want to corrupt these is similar to the reason you want to corrupt Jeweler's Boxes - you want some delicious rares, more specifically maps with 100+ increased item quantity.

Second, and most hilariously, Cartographer's Strongboxes.

If you find a rare Jeweler's strongbox with a high 'of Curiosity' (+# magics) roll and the 'of Wisdom' (IDed items) mod, it's probably worth vaaling - otherwise, avoid it. However, it isn't worth rolling past a good 'of Treasures' (+% rarity) or 'of Affluence' (+# rares) in order to get a corruption-worthy mod. Mod Summary: Corrupt Jeweler's boxes past area level 60 whenever you roll 'of Abundance' (+# items), 'of Bounty' (+% items), or 'of Kalandra' (mirrored) in order to fill up chaos recipes and, if you're lucky, pick up some good 6-mod jewelry. Thus, you mostly want to corrupt Jeweler's Strongboxes whenever they're likely to be dispensing a large number of white or IDed items in order to fill up a recipe and, hopefully, get lucky - and with 6 mods, that's easier than you'd think. The main reasons you want to corrupt these are that they often do a great job of filling out an IDed chaos recipe, and that 6-mod jewelry tends to have more worth than jewelry with 3, 4, or 5 mods. The initial assessment is for boxes outside of maps, then in 'normal' maps, then in extremely high-IIQ situations.įirst, and most reliably, Jeweler's Strongboxes. This can make corrupting certain boxes rather risky - there's little risk in corrupting a box which gives you extra blue items, but bricking extra rares or, god forbid, a unique is probably a bad idea. You'll also note that corruption on boxes actually interacts with magic, rare, or unique items within the box. This can permit some rather interesting occurences. When you corrupt a box, most if not all of the white items in that box will become corrupted as though with a Vaal Orb. However, before I can tell you which boxes are best to corrupt, I have to talk a bit about how boxes and corruption interact. Do note that just because you corrupted a box does not guarantee that it'll spew money at your face while it is very likely to spawn corrupted rares, there will be corrupted garbage too. It is possible to profit by corrupting other boxes - I got a 6L out of one - but it's far less reliable. The three most notable sets are, in detail, Jeweler's Strongboxes, low-level Cartographer's Strongboxes, and high-quantity Armorer's/Blacksmith's Strongboxes. Essentially, with Vaal Orbs at their current price, it is extremely easy to profit by corrupting certain boxes. So after (somewhat) extensive testing, I think it's about time for this info to get out.
