PoE2 Desecration Lords Fixed: 93 Mods Matched to poe2db

Desecrationdesecration lordspoe2dbMacecorrection

In PoE2, every Desecrated mod belongs to a lord: Amanamu, Ulaman or Kurgal. In ExileDesk, some of them, including the mace Aftershock and Fissure mods, were filed under the wrong lord. We checked lords and tags against 9,455 tiers on poe2db, and in v0.1.572 we matched 93 mods (counted per item class) to poe2db.

I put a lord Omen on a mace and desecrated it, but Aftershock never showed up.

Metan

Metan

Sorry, that one was our mistake. Aftershock was filed under the wrong lord.

Zundamon

Zundamon

Wait, ExileDesk had it wrong?!

Metan

Metan

Yes. We checked everything against poe2db and fixed it in v0.1.572.

Which Desecrated Mods Had the Wrong Lord?

The lords were the biggest mismatch. The audit counted 9 mods. The table shows the ones we could confirm as fixed in our data.

So which ones were wrong?

Metan

Six on maces and one on wands. Here's the table.

All six mace mods had piled up under Ulaman. On poe2db they split between Amanamu and Kurgal.

Zundamon

Zundamon

They were all Ulaman!

Metan

Metan

They were. They really belong to Amanamu and Kurgal.

How This Hits the Lord Omens

In the ExileDesk engine, a lord Omen picks its candidates by the lord tag on each mod.

Zundamon

Zundamon

Why does a wrong lord matter?

Metan

Metan

It changes which mods a lord Omen can give you.

Zundamon

Zundamon

Does it hit armour too?

Metan

Metan

No. Lord Omens only work on weapons, jewellery and quivers.

Metan

Metan

So it only affects weapon and jewellery mods, like these mace and wand ones.

OmenLordMace Aftershock / Fissure beforeNow
Omen of the LiegeAmanamuNoYes
Omen of the SovereignUlamanYesNo
Omen of the BlackbloodedKurgalNoNo

Before the fix, mace Aftershock and Fissure were in the Omen of the Sovereign pool. Now they follow poe2db and sit with Omen of the Liege.

Zundamon

Zundamon

So aiming for Aftershock with Omen of the Liege never worked...

Metan

Metan

Right. Anyone testing lord Omens on a mace was shown the wrong pool.

What Else Was Off?

Besides lords, we compared the tags shown on screen. Counting the lords, there were 34 kinds of mismatch.

Zundamon

Zundamon

There was more than the lords?

Metan

Metan

Some tags themselves were different too. Take a look.

The biggest group was the block and flask tags we had added ourselves.

Zundamon

Zundamon

Why remove block and flask?

Metan

Metan

poe2db has no such tags at all. It uses 27 tags.

Metan

Metan

We had added them ourselves, so we removed them to match poe2db.

Why Do Wrong Tags Matter?

Tags are used in more places than the lord Omens.

Zundamon

Zundamon

Tags are used for more than Omens?

Metan

Metan

They are. Here's where.

Where tags are usedWhat a wrong tag changes
Mods that grow with Catalyst Quality (rings, amulets, jewels)Whether the mod scales with Quality
Mod list labels and searchWhether a filter finds the mod
Lord Omens (the lord tag)Whether the mod is in the Omen's pool
Zundamon

Zundamon

So even a small slip shows up in your results!

Metan

Metan

Exactly. That's why we matched everything to poe2db.

How We Checked and What Changed

We re-fetched poe2db on 2026-10-18 and ran a script that compares it with our data tier by tier.

Zundamon

Zundamon

How did you compare all of it?

Metan

Metan

A script went through 9,455 normal, Desecrated and Essence tiers (Perfect included), one by one.

Zundamon

Zundamon

Did you compare every tag?

Metan

Metan

On our side, only the tags shown on screen. The Desecrated lords were checked separately.

Metan

Metan

Internal-only tags never appear on screen, so we left them out.

Zundamon

Zundamon

What started all this?

Metan

Metan

The owner asked us to check poe2db and do a full tag check for differences.

Metan

Metan

Then the owner said to match everything to poe2db, and v0.1.572 did that. Counted per item class, that's 93 mods.

  • Essence defence % on Str/Dex/Int Body Armours stays as it was (Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield), because poe2db has no row with all three.
  • The Essence defence % mismatch may come from how the two sides were paired up; the audit marks it as needing a check.
  • We did not test lord Omens in game for this fix. poe2db is the reference.
  • We have not measured how much the fix changes lord Omen results.

What if I already tried this on a mace before?

Please take another look. Aftershock and Fissure belong to Omen of the Liege (Amanamu).

In v0.1.572, all Desecrated lords and tags were matched to poe2db. When aiming for a lord on a mace, remember that Aftershock and Fissure sit with Omen of the Liege.

Try It Yourself

On the crafting bench, put a lord Omen on a mace and desecrate it to see which lord's mods come up.
