In the action-packed world of *Path of Exile 2*, enhancing your character's abilities is key to conquering the challenges ahead. Among the various power-boosting options, anointing stands out as a potent method to elevate your gameplay. Here's a detailed guide on how to anoint in *Path of Exile 2*.
How To Get Distilled Emotions in Path of Exile 2
Unlocking the ability to anoint your amulets and Waystones requires you to progress further into the game. This is because you'll need Distilled Emotions, which you can primarily obtain from Delirium Maps. If you're familiar with the original game, you'll recognize Distilled Emotions as akin to Blight Oils. There are ten distinct types of Distilled Emotions: Despair, Disgust, Envy, Fear, Greed, Guilt, Ire, Isolation, Paranoia, and Suffering.
The most straightforward method to acquire Distilled Emotions is by completing Delirium Maps, which reward you with a random assortment of these valuable resources. Alternatively, you can engage in currency exchanges or navigate the trade market to secure them. For those looking to enhance their Distilled Emotions, the Reforging Bench is the tool of choice. By using three of the same type, you can upgrade to a higher-tier version of that emotion, offering greater control over your anointing process.
For players seeking a challenge, tackling Simulacrum waves offers a chance to obtain Distilled Emotions, though it's less efficient than Delirium Maps and requires a robust build to succeed.
How To Anoint Items in Path of Exile 2
Anointing can be applied to both Waystones and amulets, and with the game currently in Early Access, future updates may expand these options. To anoint an amulet, select a Distilled Emotion to access the Instilling window. The choice of emotion here is inconsequential. Place your amulet in the central slot, then insert a Distilled Emotion into each of the three slots at the bottom. The specific emotions needed for the desired anointing ability are detailed in the Passive Skill Tree. You can view these requirements by hovering over a Notable Passive Skill and pressing alt on a keyboard or R3 on a controller.
The same anointing process applies to Waystones, which can make them more challenging but also yield better loot. However, keep in mind that neither amulets nor Waystones can be anointed if they are corrupted.
With this knowledge, you're now equipped to enhance your amulets through anointing, boosting your current build, or challenging yourself by anointing a Waystone in *Path of Exile 2*.
*Path of Exile 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
