i must have missed the patch notes on this? how do you reroll vaal fragments themselves into a vaal gem? or does chris mean using the fragment to spawn a corrupted area is like a reroll because unwanted fragments now yield the possibility of a vaal gem / better fragment?

Yes, basically the 2nd (using a fragment to spawn an area can either give a different fragment or a vaal gem).

Found a carto box a few minutes ago (necropolis), got 24 corrupted maps out of it so when the patch is deployed will hopefully give a minimal idea of drops/boss!
cant wait to try this. only lvl 70 cant be too hard.

Do maps with more than 1 boss (Bazaar for example) have a chance per boss, a chance from only one boss, or no chance to drop. I ran a twinned arcade (4 bosses) and not one dropped something vaal, which has been very inconsistent with about 50% drop rate in every other map. Bazaar's 3 bosses didn't drop anything for me either, so between those maps the drop rate has now fallen from 50% to 25% for me, do I assume its just that low or is there something else going on?

Don't know, but I got a double drop by one of my twinned, then next gave nothing (had mirrored maps). At the moment 14 bosses, 7 frags (1 mid) and 2 gems... probably reasonable I guess! (except for a few horrific mods+bosses).

Updated: end of the 31 bosses, 16 frags (1 mid), 4 gems. Carto box seems generally worth it, its nice to make some decent use of lower maps! (although obviously has downsides for better maps if white etc...)
