Can you add sockets to corrupted items in Poe 2?

Yes, you can socket corrupted items in Path of Exile 2, but with major caveats: you must socket and prepare the item (add quality, links) before corrupting it with a Vaal Orb, as corruption generally locks the item, preventing further modification like adding sockets or quality, but you can still change socket colors or links using specific Crafting Bench recipes that cost extra Vaal Orbs. The key takeaway is to finish all other mods first, as corruption is usually the last step before permanent changes.

In Path of Exile 2, once an item is corrupted, you cannot change its core stats or affixes, but you can still add runes to empty sockets or replace existing runes in sockets if the sockets were present before corruption, though some players found adding sockets to corrupted items confusing. You can't use normal currency like Exalted or Chaos Orbs on corrupted gear to add mods, but socketing runes allows customization, and updates have made rune replacement possible by simply placing a new rune over an old one in a socket.
