I'm doing SSF and i had 3 vaal orbs lying around, the second worked and now i will get to maps with a 5-link, thanks for sharing this info! Byw, glad to see you back on the Poe train :) really enjoyed some of yours build guides bck in the day.
sure you can vaal and hope you get lucky but how / where do the greater and perfect jeweler orbs drop?.. instead of buying... just higher maps? i'm currently just getting into end game, around tier 3/4 maps, havn't seen any uncut gems past 14 and only lesser jeweler's orbs.. is there something specific to farm for those? is there a vendor recipe? people are getting them somehow to be able to sell them...
Didnt know vaal orbs were important, just randomly tried it on first try and got a socket and dismantled the gem coz i thought being corrupted was useless.
That should be unlocked by one of the npcs, most likely from Alva or someone in Act 3. I'm still in act 2 myself, so not 100% certain. I think you also only get hideout access after completing act 3/ Cruel 3.
Hopefully this doesn't get nerfed.. was hoping this Reddit post wouldn't get picked up because honestly I bet GGG nerfs this and makes it either harder to do or impossible
But this will get you progress so you can have currency for later. Hoarding currency for later makes for unfun play and burn out with a bunch of currency for never.
edit: you cant apparently, sry^^ To add to that: you can 100% farm lesser jeweller orbs in act 3 sandswept marsh at orok campfire. loot the crate, drop, reset zone and done =)
Correct. This is a a potentially very expensive gamble (depending on your RNG) which results in a deadend gem that you'll eventually need to sell off to progress further.
12 tries and nothing, I know RNG sucks sometimes but come on game. At this point it would have been cheaper to just purchase one. Thanks for the tip regardless!
@@exxcaliber9027 aight ty for confirming. imma try some more. EDIT : I was literally 2 tries away from winning. Never stop gambling, guys. The moment you think about quitting, you're 2 tries away from winning.
@@Fancy.BLeveling the gem might be intended since in poe1 even if a gem is corrupted you can still level it so I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed in poe2
I think they will keep it in some form. It's still a trade off, you can't make it a 6 link. So It's going to cost you in the long run for more instant power. Maybe they will change the chance of getting the roll
Corrupted Items can be altered with special recepies in the crafting bench (POE1) and special corrupted currency. Since you can in POE2 just just a uncut gem, that seems to be a a bug
your head is covering it.
Well thank the man for covering it on his channel!
Head build?
@@michaeldwhelchel I would rather see more, it was just annoying with the head in the way 😅
@457Deniz457 At least he's heading in the right direction 😅
@@457Deniz457 there's literally nothing you missed
FINALLY a PoE2 video that actually helps players. Not "BEST SOMETHING SOMETHING CLICK ME" video. So good, thank you
Update: 2nd 5L also was on the 6th corrupt!
21 corruptions, still no +1 socket :(
edit: 27th was the charm (tf is this rng)
its probably shadow nerfed already, did a lot too and gave up
@ nah just bad rng
Become a streamer then BOOM RNG fixed
@@juruscoim scared to do my next four gems other one hit on fourtth try first time now in nervoys

I’m glad you are back to POE whether it is two or one.
just made this with 15 and failed all of them, ty rng
19 failures, no luck - now nearly broke.
Damn RNG gonna RNG sometimes
Same 😅
sure you can vaal and hope you get lucky but how / where do the greater and perfect jeweler orbs drop?.. instead of buying... just higher maps? i'm currently just getting into end game, around tier 3/4 maps, havn't seen any uncut gems past 14 and only lesser jeweler's orbs.. is there something specific to farm for those? is there a vendor recipe? people are getting them somehow to be able to sell them...
Worked on 2nd try, these tips/trick videos are amazing! 👍
any good way to farm spirit gems?
How did you use it on quarterstaff? In PS5, when I try use the orb, I can't select any weapon skill (weapon icon), only regular gems.
those just level as you do, Im not even really using that skill for anything other than holding gems
Nice tip!
Now instead of ruining my weapons with vaals I have something that will not destroy my build to use them on!
Can you use more orbs on it and get a 6L?
no corrupt items cant get crafted anymore
man people say they managed to get it and here I am with 8x 3link corrupt
*WTF*
Pretty neat but definitely not intended, id do this before its fixed lol
I think its intended, always worked like this in poe 1, corrupted gems can be levelled up but cannot be modified further.
I just did 15 and no luck. Wish I never saw this video.
Edit, did 4 more. No luck. Now I log off.
RNG gonna RNG sometimes
i feel like the level up isn't intended, I can see that being fixed
nice tip with the Vaals though. didn't know they could add sockets to gems too
Is there a way to get Greater Jeweller's Orb orther than market/ trading?
They drop starting in cruel difficulty. Not sure about act 1, but I had two drop in act 2.
Thanks for another helpful video
Didnt know vaal orbs were important, just randomly tried it on first try and got a socket and dismantled the gem coz i thought being corrupted was useless.
I am new to poe, how do you have the market in game ?You can see how much something is trading for etc ?
That should be unlocked by one of the npcs, most likely from Alva or someone in Act 3. I'm still in act 2 myself, so not 100% certain. I think you also only get hideout access after completing act 3/ Cruel 3.
It's Alva, she has currency exchange for various things. Not gear tho
You can have more than 2 ?
@@merkinsniffs If you're talking about skills, you can make ALL of them 6l afaik... it's just not easy or cheap.
@@jasonrouse8215 ty
So now I just need those Vaal Orbs that I don't have..
Does this still work?
not sure how by using this method you can go to 5 or 6 link...
Is it supposed to work like that?
Hopefully this doesn't get nerfed.. was hoping this Reddit post wouldn't get picked up because honestly I bet GGG nerfs this and makes it either harder to do or impossible
my luck is terrible as usual, have tried upgrading a skill 18 times now and best ive had is +1 to skill :')
Bad for later without quality.. ? :D
But this will get you progress so you can have currency for later. Hoarding currency for later makes for unfun play and burn out with a bunch of currency for never.
worked, tyvm
got mine on first try, ty for the info
just did with 5 jewellers orbs, thanks
edit: you cant apparently, sry^^
To add to that: you can 100% farm lesser jeweller orbs in act 3 sandswept marsh at orok campfire. loot the crate, drop, reset zone and done =)
You cant, it is limited to 1 per character.
Wrong
@@МистерТвистер-н4я ah, didnt know that, thx!
Thanks doN!
So if I corrupt a 5 link I can’t make it into a 6 link anymore?
Correct. This is a a potentially very expensive gamble (depending on your RNG) which results in a deadend gem that you'll eventually need to sell off to progress further.

We love you Don
be nice if your head was not in the way
Yeah definitely not worth it. 30 exalts down and still hasnt worked
doesn't this locks you into just 5 slots now and can't get a 6th one???
It does, but as a temporary power boost before you acquire a lot of currency to make a proper 6 socket, this is a way cheaper option.
Sure but it's a short cut
Well 15ex isn’t rly much currency. So yea not worth the gamble
@@AlCap0leI spent 1 ex to buy 9 vaal orbs and got it on my 8th try 😂
@@Zanbatoss yea, and stuck on a 5link gz
this is patched right ?
dont think so
@@DonTheCrown thought the same, just spent 20 jewellers and 20 vaal orbs and still nothing
Still working, took 14 attempts to hit it
@@exxcaliber9027 aight ty for confirming. imma try some more.
EDIT : I was literally 2 tries away from winning. Never stop gambling, guys. The moment you think about quitting, you're 2 tries away from winning.
That will be patched I'm sure. I wouldn't get used to this. For sure unintended function. Cool trick tho
Can’t see it,next time you might move your head or make your head smaller,thank you!❤
You can level corrupted gems in poe1. Why are you surprised?
Because this is using a item to level it. Not gaining exp.
@@Rurix48 its leveling gems. same thing.
Next video I think you should just stand right in front of your camera and describe the things that are going on behind you, but please don’t show us.
Great video, I still dont understand why people call this a 5 link. The first link isnt optional ^^ but whatever floats your boat I guess.
Easier to just buy them
I failed 18 times in a row
so you could get 7 link if you hit jackpot on corruption i guess.
You guess wrong. 6 link is max links
@@xPureAndTheTaintedx corrupting 6 link is not a ting so GGG lied about 7 linking?
@@EnjoyGengar what?
ignore links, its doesnt exist anymore. just say how many sockets you have.
@@EnjoyGengaryou corrupt max level and socket gems to get more quality or another level. As always
How do you have so many skill gem‘s already?
what is 5 link ?
2 in a row.
eta 2 days until this is fixed
That’s legit what Vaal orbs are made for. Very much a thing in POE 1
@@jtheacguy4010i dont think that being able to level up the skill while corrupted is intended.
@@Fancy.BLeveling the gem might be intended since in poe1 even if a gem is corrupted you can still level it so I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed in poe2

Can we just say a "a 4 SkillGem" instead of this old POE1 lingo?
Yeah I think that would be great but ppl get stuck in lingo, like how people still call it a shaco in d4 despite that not being on the item at all
No lll
@@whydidyoutubeaddthis 3 has 3 support gems in? That would make sense to me.

Nice video, can't see anything.
