Fixed a bug where a modifier introduced in 0.5.3 for the Grip of Kulemak Unique Ring was not functioning correctly. It will no longer be invisible on new versions of the item, though existing items will need to be updated with a Divine Orb in order for the modifier to be displayed.
Unique Rings
Grip of Kulemak
A ring that compresses both Presence area and Light Radius. Its source data defines spatial penalties rather than a fixed offensive or defensive payoff.Changed in 0.5
Added 13 new Abyssal Wasting Modifiers for the Grip of Kulemak Unique Ring.
Many of the Grip of Kulemak Desecrated Modifiers have been combined into a single Modifier, increased numerically, or disabled. Existing items can be updated using a Divine Orb to receive the new values, however new Modifiers will only generate on new versions of the item.
Modifiers that applies to Allies in your Presence, such as those on Sceptres and the Grip of Kulemak Unique Ring, no longer stack in a party if multiple party members have Modifiers of the same type. This change does not affect the "Allies in your Presence deal 50% increased Damage" Modifier from the Leer Cast Unique Helmet.
Fixed a bug where the upgraded variants of Grip of Kulemak could not be stored in the Unique Stash Tab.

Other Unique ruleGrip of Kulemak 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 / 12 enchantmentsVaal Orb can corrupt Grip of Kulemak. One applicable outcome is selected, and the item normally cannot be modified again by ordinary crafting.
- 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.
- 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.
