'''Worldstone Shards''' are new items which drop throughout the game and can be used to corrupt equipment and maps. Corruption results include adding sockets (if applicable), adding a corruption modifier as listed below, or turning the item into a random <span class="d2-yellow">rare</span> of the same type.
To use a Worldstone Shard, put it into the Horadric Cube with another item and press the Transmute button.
There are also [[Corruptions#Annihilus_Corruptions|Tainted Worldstone Shards]] which are dropped by [[Monsters#Rathma|Rathma]] and can be used to corrupt [[Annihilus]].
== Equipment Corruptions ==
Equipment items can gain sockets (if applicable), gain a corruption modifier, or turn into a random <span class="d2-yellow">rare</span>.
<span class="d2-white">Regular</span> items can only be corrupted if they don't have sockets, and they cannot gain corruption modifiers
Sockets can only be added to 0-socket items that are capable of gaining sockets: helms, chests, shields, and non-throwing weapons. The [[Item_Bases#Sockets|maximum sockets]] an item can get is always restricted by the item base. For example, an un-upgraded [[Vampire Gaze]] cannot gain more than 2 sockets because Grim Helm has a maximum of 2 sockets.▼
Runewords are regular items which already have sockets, so they can't have other corruption modifiers. Runewords with the "corrupted" tag were simply made with corrupted regular items.
▲<span class="d2-white">Regular</span> items cannot gain corruption modifiers, but can gain sockets (up to the maximum amount of sockets for that item) or turn into a random <span class="d2-yellow">rare</span>. Runewords are built in regular items that already have sockets, so they can't have corruption modifiers. Corrupting a regular item is akin to using the [[Recipes#Socketing_Recipes|socketing recipe]] on it, and can even be done with inferior/superior items. If a regular item that cannot gain sockets is corrupted, it will still become a random rare 50% of the time - the other 50% will be effectively unchanged.
If the corrupted item becomes a random <span class="d2-yellow">rare</span>, it will be corrupted with either sockets or a corruption modifier in addition to its normal attributes. If the original item was ethereal, the item it becomes will also be ethereal. Corrupted items cannot be corrupted again, but they can be modified by nearly all other [[recipes]].
▲Sockets can only be added to 0-socket items
* ''<span class="d2-white">Regular</span> Equipment''
** 50% chance to gain sockets (up to the maximum amount of [[Item_Bases#Sockets|sockets]])
** 50% chance to turn into a random <span class="d2-yellow">rare</span>
▲* ''Other Equipment (Socketable)''
** 25% chance to gain sockets (1-3 for armor, 1-4 for one-handed weapons, 1-6 for two-handed weapons)
** 50% chance to gain a modifier (24% low-rarity, 16% mid-rarity, 10% high-rarity)
** 25% chance to turn into a random <span class="d2-yellow">rare</span>
▲* ''Other Equipment (Unsocketable)''
** 75% chance to gain a modifier (36% low-rarity, 24% mid-rarity, 15% high-rarity)
** 25% chance to turn into a random <span class="d2-yellow">rare</span>
For non-regular items, if the corruption result adds sockets, these are the odds for how many sockets may be added:
* Armors (Helms, Chests, Shields) = 1-3 sockets <span style="color:gray;">''(72% for 1, 20% for 2, 8% for 3)''</span>
Line 43 ⟶ 36:
▲Socketable items can be further improved with the relatively uncommon [[Larzuk's Puzzlebox]], which can be used to add 2-4 sockets to two-handed weapons or 1-2 sockets to other items. [[Larzuk's Puzzlepiece]] can be used the same way and is more common, but cannot be used with unique/set items.
In ideal circumstances, players can either aim for max-socket corruptions, or high-rarity corruptions with sockets added by puzzleboxes. High-rarity corruption modifiers are generally slightly stronger than 2 sockets on weapons or 1 socket on armors and are therefore best-in-slot for most scenarios, however more sockets allows for more customization.
Due to the value of puzzleboxes compared to worldstone shards, it's generally better to corrupt items before puzzleboxing them. Using a puzzlebox first will result in a higher chance to get a corruption modifier when corrupting (75% instead of 50%), but the chance to "brick" the item remains the same (25%) so the puzzlebox may be wasted.

== Map Corruptions ==
[[Maps]] always gain a corruption modifier when corrupted. Most corruption modifiers have 3 tiers (one for each map tier) and their ranges are listed in order.

== Annihilus Corruptions ==
Tainted Worldstone Shard drops from [[Monsters#Rathma|Rathma]] and can be used to corrupt [[Annihilus]], either adding a corruption modifier or turning it into a random magic small charm. The item also gains a cosmetic red tint.
