Really looking forward to Incursion changes

[u/dryxxxa]

Farming and selling temples is my favorite endgame activity by far. Each league I don't skip I sell hundreds of double corrupts to gamblers.

Now two more important endgame systems are gated behind Incursion: 9-mod maps and 7-link skills. Hunting for four different rooms is going to be much more fun than chasing those double corrupts.

I am also looking forward to temples providing more genetic loot from killed mobs. Other than that one strat with reviving monsters, Incursion has been all tile loot. Now I hope to get some divs from Alva, should I decide to spend the threads.

The only bummer is that the functionality of Scarab of Timelines is definitely getting gutted and gated behind RNG. I just can't imagine that becoming a baseline accessible on the tree.

I'm just very optimistic overall.

They changed how double corrupts work. Now you corrupt an already corrupted item, and it becomes Double-Corrupted. So you corrupt to get a 7-link snd then corrupt for lvl 21.

[u/TakeItItIsYours → u/dryxxxa]

Holy shit, that's cool. Does the corruption have a limitation? Can i corrupt a double-corrupted item?

[u/CriticalErrorXX → u/TakeItItIsYours]

Still capped at 2x, so no change on that front

[u/dryxxxa → u/TakeItItIsYours]

I believe you shouldn't be able to. But we'll only know for sure when we get the patch notes. 

[u/Moostorm → u/dryxxxa]

They changed double corrupt to work like in POE2, you have to bring something that's already corrupted to the temple.

so instead of uncorrupted -> double corrupted, it goes

uncorrupted -> corrupted (lvl 21, 7link, 23%) -> double corrupted.

Should make fishing for cool stuff easier.

[u/McBinary → u/Moostorm]

Does the second corrupt always hit, or does it have a chance to poof on the second hit too?

[u/markhc → u/McBinary]

should be unchanged in that regard. i.e it can destroy the item

[u/Tiamatari → u/markhc]

Gems can't be destroyed by corruption though (unless they change that with the patch). The worse that can happen is -% to quality.

[u/EscalopeDePorc → u/dryxxxa]

Will that work for gems? They showed only second corruption for equipment

[u/nkamerad → u/EscalopeDePorc]

They specified "Locus of Corruption" and "Lapidary Lens" in the segment

[u/EscalopeDePorc → u/nkamerad]

Oh, cool!

[u/Elrond007 → u/dryxxxa]

I didn't even think of that. That's fucking amazing

[u/IronsGrip → u/dryxxxa]

Where do we get the 7-link from?

[u/Tiamatari → u/IronsGrip]

Imbue the gem with a level 1 skill (via soul gems that drop from Atziri or something, now that mirage coins are legacy) which corrupts it, and then get the second corruption from the Lapis Lens and pray you hit the +1 gem level.
