Vaal Side Area - Make them great again

some suggestions that comes to my mind when i compare vaal side areas to abyss,
seeing that the rewards are outdated and don't compare to other league mechanics.

I suggest the following as maven passive or for all vaal side areas in red maps

Vaal Side Areas are 300% larger
Vaal Side Area Monsters grant 100% Increased Experience
Vaal Side Areas are a large maze
Vaal Side Area monsters fracture


+3 To Monster Level in Vaal Side Areas
All items in Vaal Side Areas drop corrupted
+15% increased Pack Size in Vaal Side Areas
+30% increased item quantity in Vaal Side Areas
100% Increased monster damage in Vaal Side Areas
50% more monster life in Vaal Side Areas


Special vaal side area bosses:
Harder Vaal Side Area Bosses, somewhere between map boss and atziri tier.
Harder Vaal Side Area bosses have a chance to drop Level 21 23% Quality vaal gems
Harder Vaal Side Area bosses have a chance to drop double corrupted items
Harder Vaal Side Area bosses drop uber atziri fragments


to improve the rewards
-Vessel drops 10 currency items
-10 Divination cards
-4 Stacked Decks
-1 full set of a random divination card
-10 Vaal orbs
-always 1 random vaal related item
-rare chance for vaal reliquary key


if anything else comes to mind please feel free to post it and ill add it to the list.

I really like the vaal theme and would love it to be rewarding and competitive to the other atlas strategies

I think similar to other mechanics in the game, Vaal side rewards does not scale with difficulty.

You can have Vaal side with crazy mods and boss that one shot you several times (Coniraya, Shadow of Malice) that drop like 1 fragment.
While more manageable boss and mobs can drop nice corrupted items.

Those ghost that zap around already deal a tonne of damage.

But yes do agree Vaal side needs to be buffed.
Imagine T16 Vaal side saying Vessel drop 2 vaal orbs.
Its like "WOW"...

They've already addressed this, Vaal side area's in maps were made significantly meaner and its only the core game side areas that were left in the pre buffed state.
