Bug(Possible Exploit) or Intended > Way to remove Corrupted Status on an Item

Hello All

First of all I don't know if this is intended or not and actually I'm not 100% sure if what I did is actually what I think I did cause I did it a bit distracted.

But it was basically this:

I have a bow with 2 skills to socketed bow gems that I got from a Vaal Side Area so it's corrupted, as far as I know it was worthless but I save it anyways.

Then I encounter a Harvest and in the Harvest I found a Quality change, those that change the Quality bonus from what it normally gives to like 2% accuracy per 4% quality, I found that one actually.

So because I didn't have a better weapon, I didn't know if the Enchantment was valuable and I honestly didn't really knew how to properly use the Harvest mechanic I tested by putting the Corrupted bow there.

So the idea for me is that because it's corrupted you shouldn't be able to even use the harvest enchantment in it but not only it did but also removed the Corruption status.

So the point is, is this an intended mechanic or it's a bug with a possibility of using it as a exploit?.

Now the point is that I'm not 100% sure that the bow was actually corrupted but I'm not 100% sure only because what I did sounds (for me) something that you shouldn't be able too and I didn't have the opportunity to test it again.

Regards

can you put a picture of the bow in its current status in here?

and also post a /bug with the bow in your inventory or better yet equipped

Well this is 100% economy breaking bug exploit if item has corruption implicit and then craftable

I'm not a PoE Economist Guru despite my 9 years of playing this game but I hope not or I hope I'm wrong, maybe I am I cannot be 100% sure that the item was corrupted before hand just because it sounds a little bit dumb that you can actually do this but... I don't know I'm like 99% it was because I choose the item because of that to test it thinking "It cannot be", but again I may have been distracted, a real test would be good if anyone have that enchantment in harvest.

Usually such bug, if it is real , it would be censored now....

I actually wanted to send this to somewhere private but I didn't know if there is a private channel for this kind of stuff, it should be.

(may be i would try harvest craft for science and then send the screenshot)


edit: it does say can't use on corrupted item for body armour +int craft

Great maybe I'm dumb and the item wasn't corrupted after all which is good news.

But there could be a bug in one of the types of harvest enchantment or the type of corruption, my bow was from a Vaal side area so as far as I know the item is either a corrupted no change or a bricked corruption, maybe a good corruption cannot be taken off, for example a corruption that actually got a corrupted implicit.

EDIT// You tryed with this one right?
"Enchant Body Armour. Quality does not increase its Defences, grants 1 Intelligence per 2% quality"

The one I have right now to try is this one
"Enchant Body Armour. Quality does not increase its Defences, grants 1 Maximum Mana per 2% quality"

Both "Primal Cystcaller Bulb"

Maybe the issue is with this one
"Enchant a Weapon. Quality does not increase its Physical Damage, grants 1% increased Accuracy per 2% Quality"

That is a "Wild Brambleback Bulb"

And maybe the origin or the type of corruption also affect... or I'm dumb as already stated multiple times because I'm starting to think I am xD

EDIT// Well I wanted to test it because I have an armor mana enchant with a few different configurations but I don't know can't play right now constant rubberbanding and my connection is just fine maybe BR servers are no good rn :(
