Personally? Even though its in my guide - I just don’t use it.
Yes this means RNG is much, much higher and i take 3x as long to forge, but i feel its also cheaper in the long run.
I’ve replaced it with draining boon 1 - I get damage to 8 and aoe to 4 using corrupted boon I, than use draining boon 1 to get higher durability/buzy bee, which lowers the chance of getting defects or quirks.
