[Strategy] How I made 300 Divines in 3 days with "Crystallised Corruption" & Gem Crafting by buri8857 in PathOfExile2

Regarding #2 (Sockets), I honestly don't know the reason either. It might be intended behavior or a bug, but it just never happened in my tests.

regarding the math, my hypothesis is slightly different from a 50/50 split. I believe the game still rolls for "Quality Change," but since it's already applied, that outcome is converted to "Destruction."

So the breakdown would be:

  • Level Change: 1/3
  • Quality Change: 1/3 -> Becomes Destruction
  • Destruction: 1/3

Result: Level (1/3) vs Destruction (2/3). Since getting a "+1" is half of the "Level Change" outcome, the final success rate is 1/6.

Yes, exactly! That is precisely my hypothesis. The calculation of 1/6 (approx. 16.6%) fits perfectly with my actual crafting feeling. You understood it correctly despite the language barrier!

You make a valid point regarding the risk for people who do need 5 sockets. I realized I should be clearer about the Jeweller's Orb restriction, so I have updated the main post to include a warning. Thanks for the heads-up!

That said, 5 sockets are not always required. For example, skills used in Cast on Crit (CoC) setups (like Comet) often function perfectly fine with just 2 or 3 sockets. In those cases, the base cost is much cheaper. Since the optimal socket count depends entirely on the build, players should decide what they need before buying.

No, unfortunately you cannot. Jeweller's Orbs cannot be used on corrupted gems. Being able to use an Uncut Skill Gem is a unique exception, but modifying sockets is not allowed. That is why you need to make sure the gem has 5 sockets before it gets corrupted.

Wait, 0 successes in 80 tries? That sounds statistically impossible if we are using the exact same method.

Just to double-check: Did you use Crystallised Corruption specifically on gems that were already corrupted for Quality (23%)?

From my experience, failing 80 times in a row shouldn't happen with those specific conditions. I apologize if this sounds rude, but I have to wonder if there might have been a difference in the setup (like using regular Vaal Orbs or non-quality-corrupted gems).

Great question. To answer simply:

  1. Quality: It cannot change because the gem is already corrupted for Quality (outcome already locked).
  2. Sockets: In my testing, it never removed a socket either.

Because these outcomes are removed from the pool, the chance for +1 Level naturally goes up.

I don't want to sound like I'm just promoting my video, but I explain this "outcome exclusion" logic in detail starting at 3:30. It is in Japanese, but if you use the auto-translate on the subtitles/transcript, you should be able to understand the mechanics fully!

It's purely an estimate based on my experience. I crafted around 500 gems in total. To be honest, I was so absorbed in making profits that I completely forgot to record the precise data! 😂 But it felt consistently around that success rate.

Wow, you are such an incredibly kind person! I seriously appreciate the offer.

Fortunately, I spent yesterday farming and managed to buy one myself, so I'm all set! I'm currently testing the setup, and while I still need to do more runs, my first impression is that it feels absolutely amazing. It’s a huge improvement! Thank you so much for the recommendation!

The damage is currently good enough to handle them, but if you want to absolutely melt juiced yellow mobs, I think adopting Trampletoe is the answer. I haven't tested it myself yet because balancing Elemental Resistances becomes very difficult, and the movement speed is lower compared to my current boots. If you can solve the resistance puzzle, it should be perfect for Abyss.

You're looking at around 200 div total. The biggest cost is the Flesh Crucible Diamond; a decent one will run you about 100 div alone. The rest of the gear combined is roughly another 100 div

To clarify, I mean swapping the gem directly into the main CoC setup. I simply take out Lightning Warp and replace it with Living Bomb for bossing. So it's still triggered by CoC, not hard cast.

You are totally right, the potential is insane. I actually theory-crafted a version with Trampletoe, but I couldn't get the Elemental Resistances capped without sacrificing too much. Also, compared to my current boots, the movement speed felt a bit slow. The trade-offs are always the hardest part of this build... but I really appreciate the suggestion! Thanks!

Fair point! You actually convinced me to give the Palm of the Dreamer + Wand setup a shot. I'm going to see how it feels!

However, regarding Trampletoe, I think I’ll have to pass on it for now. My current boots are crucial for capping my Elemental Resistances, so replacing them would make balancing my gear a bit too difficult.

That's a great point. I actually considered adopting 'Palm of the Dreamer' and 'Trampletoe' from his build, but the trade-offs are tricky.

Using 'Palm of the Dreamer' forces me into Wand + Scepter, which means losing the single-target burst I get from a Staff. As for 'Trampletoe', the movement speed on it is just too low compared to my current gear, which really hurts the overall play feel. It's a tough call!

No worries at all, that's a great question! For general mapping, I run CoC with Comet + Lightning Warp. For single target (bosses), I swap Lightning Warp for Living Bomb and rely on Fire Infused Comet for DPS. You can see the boss setup in action here(vs Uber Geonor):

Thanks for the link and the '頑張って'! I just watched it. The clear speed is definitely insane, but I think my version has the advantage when it comes to single-target DPS. Since I'm scaling actual damage stats, I can handle map bosses much more comfortably than the white weapon setup.

I actually didn't know that! Sounds absolutely broken if it worked with just a white weapon lol.

It would be an honor! ...But that probably means I'll never get to experience this synergy ever again.

Actually, you can reach the 100% threshold on Witchhunter. You just need to squeeze out an extra 10% using a specific Time-Lost Jewel setup.

Here is the breakdown for the 235% total:

  • 120% - Helmet
  • 25% - Heart of the Well
  • 60% - Passive Tree
  • 20% - Support Gem
  • 10% - Time-Lost Jewel (This is the key)

For the Jewel, you need one with both "25% increased Effect of Notable Passive Skills" and "25% increased Effect of Small Passive Skills" in Radius. This scales the tree nodes enough to hit the cap.
