Path of Exile has many complicated mechanisms, and Corrupted gems are one of them. For novice players, the first time they cross Wraeclast, they will encounter complicated problems and they can’t help but feel a little worried. Experienced players will buy POE Currency to make their game journey easier.

Players want to know if the gem is damaged, just check the description that appears when hovering the mouse over it. In this panel, players will see information about all gems, as well as the word “corrupted” in bright red letters. Corrupted gems are essentially gems with modifiers that can improve their quality and strength. If the gem is damaged, the player cannot spend POE Currency to change it further.

Corrupted gems are better than uncorrupted gems. Players can make or find damaged gems. Corrupted gems can be found as players explore the game. For this, you need a Vaal Orb. Players can get Vaal Orb by killing monsters, dropping from safes, or directly spending POE Chaos Orb.

The main reason many players damage gems is to improve quality. The upper limit of the quality of gemstones is 20%. As the quality of gems improves, the statistics of related skills will increase. To increase gems before corruption, players can use Gemcutter’s Prisms, but they can only increase by up to 20%. Players can buy POE Currency to get Gemcutter’s Prisms.

In fact, Path of Exile is not only complicated by Corrupted gems but also skill trees and builds that require players to spend their energy to research.
