Alternatively, you can craft gems at Cormund's wagon. Malignant Hearts have prefixes in their names that determine what kind of power they'll grant you, it also helps you choose which corrupted monsters to seek out.

There are 32 total Malignant Hearts with special effects that socket into jewelry like a gem would, but are ultra powerful, allowing for "stupid, new broken builds.".Elite level monsters will have a chance to spawn as a "Partly Corrupted" variant and drop a Malignant Heart, which spawns an even more powerful "Fully Corrupted" of that enemy before you can claim its heart.
