Vaal Cultivation Orb
Other Unique ruleThe Master's Reach 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.

The exact random pool depends on item class and current eligibility rules, so it is not represented as a fixed item-to-item outcome.

Vaal Orb outcomes
4 outcomes / 11 enchantmentsVaal Orb can corrupt The Master's Reach. 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.

How it works
1 interactionsOpen Weakness
Against rare and unique enemies, opening a weakness enables soul consumption and causes 80-100% of damage taken from that enemy to be recouped as Life.

MechanicRecoupedRecoup is recovery created by damage from a Hit. A percentage of eligible damage is recovered as the stated resource over eight seconds by default. Recoup does not prevent the original damage, does not trigger from damage over time, and cannot save a character from a Hit that is already lethal.
MechanicSoul EaterSoul Eater consumes Souls from nearby deaths and grants 1% increased Skill Speed per Soul, up to 50 Souls. If no new Soul is eaten for four seconds, one Soul is lost every 0.5 seconds until another Soul is eaten or the count reaches zero.
MechanicReveal WeaknessesReveal Weaknesses highlights random sections of a Rare or Unique enemy's Life bar. The highlighted sections total 45% of maximum Life. While the enemy's current Life is inside one of those sections, it has an Open Weakness.
