Last updated Yesterday at 14:15 by Stan 1 comment

Corrupted Powers return in Patch Patch 11.1.5 as limited-use head enchants that echo some of the most powerful effects from Battle for Azeroth. This guide explains how to unlock both the rare (blue) and epic (purple) variants of these enchants, where to obtain the quest materials, and what each enchant does.

1.

Introduction

Corrupted Powers return in a limited form as Head Enchants in Patch 11.1.5 and will only work until the end of Season 2. We distinguish between two types of enchants— lesser runes (blue and less powerful), and greater runes (purple and more powerful).

How to Unlock Rare/Blue Corrupted Helm Enchants?

To unlock the rare/blue version of the Corrupted Helm enchants, you will need to complete the Borrowing Corruption quest. This quest asks you to gather 8 Black Blood Residue Icon Black Blood Residue and 500 Displaced Corrupted Mementos Icon Displaced Corrupted Mementos from Horrific Visions. You can pick this quest up in the Horrific Visions area in Dornogal.

The quest items are looted from the chests found at the end of your Horrific Visions run. Therefore, it is important to complete your run successfully to complete the quest.
