Anointing Guide for Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2)

In the thrilling world of *Path of Exile 2*, an action RPG that captivates with its depth and complexity, players have numerous ways to enhance their power. Anointing is one such method that can significantly boost your character, but it's not immediately accessible. Here's a detailed guide on how to anoint in *Path of Exile 2*.

How To Get Distilled Emotions in Path of Exile 2

To unlock the ability to anoint your amulets and Waystones, you'll need to progress further into the game. The key ingredient, Distilled Emotions, becomes available once you start engaging with Delirium Maps. For veterans of the original game, Distilled Emotions serve a similar purpose to Blight Oils. There are ten varieties: Despair, Disgust, Envy, Fear, Greed, Guilt, Ire, Isolation, Paranoia, and Suffering.

The most straightforward method to obtain Distilled Emotions is by completing Delirium Maps, which reward you with a random mix of these emotions upon completion. Alternatively, you can acquire them through currency exchange or the trade market, offering flexibility in how you gather them.

For those looking to upgrade their Distilled Emotions, the Reforging Bench is your go-to spot. By combining three of the same type, you can create an upgraded version of that emotion, allowing you to tailor your collection more precisely.

If you're up for a challenge, tackling Simulacrum waves can also yield Distilled Emotions, though this method is less efficient than Delirium Maps and requires a robust build due to its higher difficulty.

How To Anoint Items in Path of Exile 2

Anointing in *Path of Exile 2* currently applies to amulets and Waystones, though future updates during Early Access might expand these options. To anoint an amulet, start by selecting any Distilled Emotion to access the Instilling window. Then, place your amulet in the center slot and fill the three bottom slots with the required Distilled Emotions. The specific emotions needed for each anointing effect are detailed in the Passive Skill Tree. Simply hover over a Notable Passive Skill and press alt on a keyboard or R3 on a controller to see the requirements.

Waystones can also be anointed, which increases their difficulty but also the quality of loot they provide. However, keep in mind that neither amulets nor Waystones can be anointed if they are corrupted.

Armed 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.*
