Create a Level 21 Corrupted Gem

Blood Altar crafting bug:
I'm sure it should not be happening for Vaal Gems, right? Cause having a corrupted Vaal Fireball level 21 is not a common thing.:)


Reporting in hope to get it fixed for Vaal gems.

Why not?
Is it level 21? 21
Is it corrupted? Corrupted.
So why does it sounds like a bug to you?

First of all, you either get a Vaal Gem or a Level 21 Gem on corrupting a Normal Gem level 20, as for an example. Vaal Gems are already corrupted so they can not be futher modified, which means you should not be able to get another corruption for level 21 on Them, got it? I hope it explains all about a bug here. :)
Mestyr is correct, a level 21 Vaal gem should not be possible.

It may be that GGG intended such behaviour as part of league mechanics, but my money is on it being something that slipped through the cracks :)

Thank you, i'm very well aware about all of those.

1) as i said - there is no anything "wrong" with the outcome, 21, corrupted, etc, from the objective point of view

2) we don't actually know whether it is a bug or "slipped through code" or actual Bestiary League mechanics

3) Bestiary recipies aren't the same things as "usual game rules of item creation", so "create lvl 21 corrupted gem" could possibly produce lvl21vaal gems from the scratch (like DEVs can "create" anything with their internal tools)

Yet Volatile Power exists. (20% quality Vaal gem.)

I don't know what the mechanical order of modifications is (maybe the gem gets modified first, then corrupted after), or if the creation rules simply ignore the corrupted property (like Vorici 8 crafting); but the existence of modified Vaal gems is not a new thing.

It is entirely possible to have a quality 20 vaal gem, just vaal a 20% gem that has a vaal counterpart, and it will retain the 20% quality, no?
