Quick answer

A corrupted Vaal Unique uses its own item-specific Cultivation modifier pool and can have up to two existing modifiers replaced. Other Unique items follow a different random same-class replacement rule, so the item-specific outcome table does not apply to them.

What you need

3 points
  • A corrupted Unique item.
  • Confirmation that it is a Vaal Unique with an item-specific Cultivation pool, or that the separate other-Unique rule is intended.
  • Acceptance that the replaced modifiers and selected outcome are not chosen by the player.

Step 1

Check the target category

Open the Cultivation directory and find the exact Unique. A listed corrupted Vaal Unique has an item-specific outcome pool. A different Unique follows the separate random corrupted Unique replacement rule for its item class.

  • Match the exact Unique, not only its base type.
  • Do not apply a listed Vaal Unique pool to another item of the same class.

Step 2

Compare the current modifiers with the possible pool

The item page shows the normal modifier block beside its possible Cultivation modifiers. Use that comparison to decide whether the potential replacements support the intended build.

  • Read every possible modifier in the exact item pool.
  • Do not interpret a pool entry as a guaranteed replacement for a particular original line.

Step 3

Apply the Vaal Cultivation Orb only after accepting the pool

For a compatible corrupted Vaal Unique, the process can replace up to two existing modifiers. The outcome and the replaced modifiers are random under the current source model.

  • Keep the item unchanged when several possible outcomes would make it unusable.
  • Return to the item page after the result to compare its current state and applicable mechanics.

Important limits

A pool is not a recipe

Current source data does not identify which original modifier maps to a particular Cultivation outcome. Do not present or simulate a deterministic pair that the source does not provide.
