I've gotten a bit inspired. Since corruption comes with some cool, dark & edgy red glowing effect and AI art featuring such stuff is also around quite regularly.

And in this delicious art update here: [ Ashes of Creation Alpha Two Artisanship Preview ]
we see this gorgeous ominous vibe the corruption generates. ( Really nailed it. Beautiful. )


Dunno if that is a thing and the corrupted Ancients for example are meant to be anything more in the game's future but openworld bosses to defeat ever so often... but I can already see them giving me quests after obtaining a level corruption that is acknowledged by them.
Which could then result in stuff like this!

Corrupted Ancient:
" Goo~d. You have destroyed this node that stained my land. Pick your reward, my wretched underling. "

Corrupted glowing eye's
Only cosmetic and with no effects?
*Max resolution*


Dress of Spite
" Everyone who thinks the corruption can be controlled is a fool. "
Effect:
Enhances your attacks with a debuff that burns percentage based lifepoints of your targets.
The very act of doning a piece of corrupted clothing lowers your maximum health by 5%.
*Max resolution*



Let us serve our dark fallen gods and become edgy glascanons with insane damage spikes. >:)

Correct me if I'm wrong or confused, but after reading the OP, I thought @Dripyula was referring to corrupted essence, rather than player corruption. Especially with the link they provided.

However, most people in the thread seem to be referring to player corruption/PvP.

OP, were you referring to player corruption with the idea of cosmetic items, or corrupted essence? c:
