Corruption under 120? Pic included

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/one-way-that-curruption-sucks/457714/5

EDIT: The poster edited his post to remove the part about the corrupted item, just after i made this post. Hello mate, are you reading me? This is really weird.

I had an alt get a piece of corrupted gear from a warmode air supply chest at 114. I think they stopped that. Maybe they realized something unintended might happen if twinks were running around with twilight devastation +40.

Another person claiming to have obtained a corrupted item. So far only 114-117 people have got them.

sorry for the ping guys but heres some info!

so maybe need 120 in party, or 120 in party and sync

or just SUPER RARE under 120?

cheers
 
I remember back when the arathi exploit was active, you needed to be xp on and in a group with the 120s, in order to be mailed the loot. Maybe that is what is going on here.

A 120 and a sub 120 grouped doing content that reward corrupted items, and the loot algorithm somehow changes and starts giving items designed for the 120 to the sub 120.

So in order to test it out, I would try the following:
- opening supply chest while xp on / same but grouped with a 120
- xp on BG / grouped with a 120. But this is bad to farm, you'll just level up.

You didn't have to have XP on to get the loot from rare mobs in Arathi Highlands, you just needed to be in a party with a 120 and be near them phased as they killed the mob. The loot was set to auto-loot and would be mailed to the 110. They changed it so you actually have to loot the mob now, which keeps phased people from getting the 340 gear.
 
Just in case someone is curious, I have been trying to loot secret and war supply chests while grouped with a 120, with party sync on. No dice after 10 or so chests so far, obviously I'll update here if I get anything.

Just thought I would reply to you here since its on topic. From the one specific queue I did, I did not get any rewards for a win except Honor, where normally you get a gold box and usually(not 100% chance I think) a piece of gear(which can sometimes be corrupted) in randoms. Losing of course in both scenarios provides nothing. It would probably require some more testing which I think you could do with specific queue, but just for ease ill stick with random to farm it easier(que time is shorter as well). It is however good if you just want to play a battleground game(especially seething shore for reasons). The effects work exactly the way they would normally, just at a lower lvl. So you do have to manage, worry, and outplay negative corruption effects. But still I would HIGHLY encourage you to get some corrupted effects for your 111, cause I think that is where they would really shine and give a good boost to your world pvp instead of 119 where 378s/388s contend with it. I would do it but I don't have a 111 and I don't want to transfer a 110 back over to my main account. Who knows if its intended or could be grandfathered in, but its worth it with how powerful they are. If there is a way for 110s to get these rewards, that would be amazing.
[doublepost=1583911321,1583901634][/doublepost]Interesting, already got one person disliking this, interesting how its always a twink. Oh well.

I have looted circa 30 secret supply chests (these are that chests that spawn in set locations during an assault) never seen an item with corruption stat on them (but they have corruption in their title name). Never had the chance to loot a war supply crate yet (the ones that drop from a plane overhead).


Do all slots have corruption on them, or just rings / trinkets?

So perhaps only BG crates drop these, which is limiting due to the amount of XP awarded at a BG (especially the end of a BG win).

I didn't even know that trinkets could get them. So far ive only gotten 1 piece of 273 gear corrupted, and it was a wrist. I imagine everything that drops unless its azerite armor can corrupt including rings(i remember my 120 ring corrupted, so why not 119?), interesting to know that trinkets corrupts. No true way to know without a bunch of repeated tests heh, it will be interesting to figure it out. But yes the exp is a limiting factor, still very powerful if you can get a few at 111 for world pvp.

Sorry I have not actually seen a trinket, I was just thinking all non-armor slots.
 
At the start of the patch I saw a 120 paladin with a level 5 training sword with corruption on it btw, no idea how that was possible but there ya go. I don't have a screenshot atm, one of my friends linked me it and if I find the screenshot again I'll post it here

there are addons can that make items like that, so unless you saw it equipped, then it might be fake :)
 
just an update, got a 12% mastery ring(even though i have 378 rings cough cough) still really cool. I really want to try this out with 111 where it actually would be a benefit(unless i got infinite stars or appendage).
 
if i dont loot a piece tonight from an air drop im giving up on the 110. yesterday i got a fist weapon with a socket and indestructible. of all the useless 210 gear i dont need thats top of the list. i think the chance to get a piece with corruption goes up as you level up. i see more pieces on 117,118 and 119’s in bg’s than lower level toons. i think it also kind of leans towards the corruption effect happening more often from bg rewards.
 
I'm not getting any corrupted stat items, it has it in the title but no stats.

Do you have a 120 that has already done the corrupted quest line warriors101?

Yes indeed I do, so that could be part of it. But its also very chance based, there is a chance whether you get a piece of gear, then a chance on whether and what it upgrades to.
 
it has it in the title but no stats

All items you loot from Secret Supply Chests, or War Supply Chests, will be part of the Corrupted Aspirant gear set - https://www.wowhead.com/search?q=corrupted+aspirant . Even though the word "Corrupted" is in the title, that doesn't mean that you automatically get the corruption stat + its related perks. In fact, it seems that you can't get the corruption stat at all at 110/111 - or the chance is astronomically small.

Doesn't really matter, I don't have problems killing most 120s anyways :).
 
I am now testing 111, we will see if i get any. so far its taken me 3 max piece of gear to get one.
[doublepost=1584221032,1584216475][/doublepost]Update: So far 4 pieces no corruption, but 1 was a trinket and apparently those can't corrupt so technically 3.

The minimum ive seen corruption gear on is at lvl 117, so that may be the threshold but ill keep looking.
[doublepost=1584258326][/doublepost]its so weird I get like a few pieces, and then it seems like I get none yet it says there is a chance, eventually I don't even get boxes. is there a limit??? Edit: I just got a ring, but on a diff character so after a second win so idk could just be low chance.
[doublepost=1584263022][/doublepost]Now I am getting gear left and right, especially since its easier to win on my 119. after 3 or 4 pieces i got 50% cooldown corruption. I have been looking at all the gear people have and have yet to see one below 117. Im beginning to think that theory holds some truth.
 
I have been checking almost every single player, plenty of players with the corrupted gear but yet the lowest with corruption i still see is at the 117 threshold. I don't seem to be getting anymore rewards are 111 which is strange but I haven't done as many. Setting up a 117 would be interesting for this, but then it may just be better to be at 119 since its close enough. Also, Marksman hunter is insanely broken when party syncing down, 24k+ aim shots and rapid fire rapidly lowers even 100k+ hp. If you want to be op in this bracket, this ones the one to go to.

i finally got a piece at level 117 and that’s with doing bg’s exclusively from 111. weapon with a dot 15 corruption. now that shes 119 i can lock xp and farm airdrops/secret supply crates.
in regards to the 24k aimed shots:
imagine having to try and deal with that at 110! only a few legion hunters who can but it changes the game completely.

Can airdrops/secret supply crates actually corrupt? Can I use that route to get the ones I want rather then spamming the long battlegrounds(which sometimes are insanely difficult because of horde premades!)?
