PoE The Rusted Bard

The Rusted Bard is a divination card. A set of nine can be exchanged for four Tainted Mythic Orb.

Flavour Text: Fourfold the refrain, fortissimo cheer. One hundred rent twain, naught left for a bier. The song rattles on, though hollow a bit. See the hope is gone, no prize shall ye get.

Tainted Mythic Orb

Tainted Mythic Orb is a currency item that unpredictably either upgrades a corrupted item to unique rarity or destroys it.

• In order to be used, an item must be upgradable in rarity. A unique item is already unique and can therefore not be used with a Tainted Mythic Orb.
• Tainted Mythic Orb can upgrade a corrupted item to unique rarity or destroy it.
• The created unique item will keep its base item e.g. Ruby Ring can upgrade into Emberwake
• Tainted Mythic Orbs can only create drop-anywhere uniques and will not create drop-restricted uniques.
• Using Tainted Mythic Orb on influenced Item will keep the influence Symbol but lose the influence modifier, as a unique item does have specific modifiers.
• The chance for success for a Tainted Mythic Orb will be dependent on the Unique tiers of the base. Bases with only rarer uniques are more likely to be destroyed. It has a baseline ~50% chance to destroy the item.
