Other Unique ruleIronbound is not listed among the 48 corrupted Vaal Uniques with an item-specific Cultivation modifier pool. Using a Vaal Cultivation Orb follows the separate rule for other Uniques: it replaces the item with a random Corrupted Unique of the same Item Class.

Vaal Orb outcomes
4 outcomes / 12 enchantmentsVaal Orb can corrupt Ironbound. One applicable outcome is selected, and the item normally cannot be modified again by ordinary crafting.
No change.
Applies a modifier magnitude multiplier of 0.78x to 1.22x (in 0.01 increments) before rounding to explicit modifiers. Applies before quality effects.
- The resulting values are rounded to the nearest whole number, rather than always being rounded down like most decimal values in the game. However, testing suggests the game may use truncation with a +0.5 shift instead of standard rounding. This appears to bias internally negative stats (like 10% Reduced Dexterity) toward zero, preventing some expected values from appearing while making others more common. A formula of trunc(value + 0.5) may explain this behavior.
Adds a special Vaal enchantment to the item.
Adds an item socket to weapons (including sceptres) and armour, ignoring socket limits.
- For jewellery, no change. (This outcome is not removed by Omen of Corruption.)
- The item cannot have more sockets than the amount of space the item takes up.
- If the item is socketed with Cadigan's Epiphany, the item cannot gain an augment socket via corruption.

MechanicArmour BreakArmour Break lowers a target's Armour by a specified amount. Reaching 0 applies Fully Broken Armour, which removes the target's Armour benefit and has additional effects against monsters.

MechanicPierceA Projectile that Pierces damages a target and continues through it instead of ending at that collision.
MechanicItem ArmourItem Armour is the Armour value printed on an individual item after that item's Quality and local Armour modifiers are applied. It is a value that other effects can read. It is not the character's total Armour and does not itself describe how much Physical damage a Hit will lose.
MechanicEquippedEquipped means a usable weapon, off-hand, armour piece, belt, amulet, or ring placed in the character's equipment slots. Flasks, Charms, Skill Gems, and Jewels are not Equipped, even when they occupy another character interface slot.
