Hands of the High Templar is a pair of unique Crusader Gloves, exclusively dropped by Sirus, Awakener of Worlds. When dropped, the gloves will be non-corrupted, and will not have any Vaal implicits or white sockets.

Normally, corrupting an item makes it impossible to apply further currency to it, aside from changing sockets with the crafting bench. This item offers an exception to this rule, making it possible to corrupt it over and over again until the corruption outcome turns it into a rare item, at which point it is "bricked" (destroyed) and loses the "Can have up to 5 Implicit Modifiers while Item has this Modifier" mod and therefore all accumulated, powerful corruption effects.

Therefore this item can become incredibly powerful and versatile, through up to 5 Vaal implicits and white sockets. But every corruption carries the risk of turning it into a rare item, removing this unique property.

Mechanics

Crafting

Even after Corrupted, players can still craft the gloves using the following methods, and more:

  • Using Blessed Orbs to reroll the numeric values of the implicit mods (including the rare Vaal implicits)
  • Using Divine Orbs to reroll the numeric values of the explicit mods (armour, life and resistances)
  • Using Jeweller's Orbs to change the number of sockets
  • Using Orb of Fusings to link sockets together
  • Using Chromatic Orbs to change socket colors (Warning: If the gloves have any white sockets, they will be replaced with colored sockets)
  • Using Armourer's Scraps to increase the item quality and the defensive stats
  • Using Vaal Orbs or Double Corruption in Alva's Temple to try to get more implicits modifiers
  • Using Harvest or Crafting Bench crafts
  • Using Beastcrafting to get 30 quality
  • Enchanting inside of the Eternal Labyrinth
  • Scourging the item

Multiple Implicits

The Hands of the High Templar is the only pair of gloves in the game that can have more than 2 rare Vaal implicits, crafted on the item using Vaal Orbs.

Every time players use a Vaal Orb on the gloves, it has an evenly split chance to (25% chance):

  1. No effect (other than adding the corrupted property if not already present).
  2. Changing one or more sockets to white sockets.
  3. Adding a special Vaal implicit OR replacing an existing one if there are already 5.
  4. Bricking the gloves by converting it into a rare item (sockets, links and six random affixes are randomized). This outcome removes all accumulated implicits and white sockets, while making further corruptions impossible.

It is even possible to reroll implicit Vaal modifiers by further corrupting this item when it already has 5 of them. In case of a Vaal Orb, it could randomly change one implicit to another one.
