Basic Information[]
Corruption Dust is a crafting material that can only be obtained from Corrupted Creatures:
Corrupted Pigsies, Corrupted Chizzards, Corrupted Leafies, Corrupted Mirus, Corrupted Rocksters, Things and Th'ang The Unyielding.
How to obtain[]
Every Corrupted Creature will drop Corruption Dust in its Loot Bag when being killed or dismissed.
You can obtain even more units of Corruption Dust as a pet-harvest from all tamed Corrupted Pets after you've fed them their exact favorite type of Food as shown in their Pet windows.
Of course you can find Corrupted Creatures in the Corruption layer, but they will also spawn on Corrupted Blocks of all kinds wherever you place them. You can corrupt common Dirt, green Grass, common grey Stone as well as all types of Wood and tree Leaves (but not Logs) by throwing Corrupt Bombs at them.
Green Grass and Snowy Elderwood Leaves can be corrupted by placing Corrupted Water and/or Corrupt Obelisks on or adjacently to these corruptable blocks.
Corruption Dust cannot be obtained from any randomly spawning Treasure Chests and it also cannot be bought as part of building kits for Blueprints, because it cannot be placed and such also not captured.
How to use[]
Corruption Dust is one of the requirements each to unlock the crafting recipes of Healing Beacons and Corrupt Bombs.
Corruption Dust is used to craft Lumite Mining Cells, Lumite Swords, Diamond Swords, Healing Beacons, Lumite Armor, Diamond Armor, Legendary Golden Swords, Corrupt Bombs and Dark Lumite Wall.
Like all animal materials, Corruption Dust cannot be placed into the quickbar nor into the game world, not even on display.
