Anointing Guide for Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2)

In the thrilling world of *Path of Exile 2*, enhancing your character's power is key, and anointing is a sophisticated yet rewarding system to achieve this. While some methods of power boosting are straightforward, anointing requires a bit more knowledge and effort, but fear not, as we'll guide you through the process step by step.

How To Get Distilled Emotions in Path of Exile 2

Anointing becomes available later in your journey through *Path of Exile 2*, as you'll need Distilled Emotions, a crucial ingredient obtained from Delirium Maps. If you're familiar with the first game, think of Distilled Emotions as akin to Blight Oils. There are ten distinct types: Despair, Disgust, Envy, Fear, Greed, Guilt, Ire, Isolation, Paranoia, and Suffering.

The primary method to acquire Distilled Emotions is by conquering Delirium Maps, which reward you with a random mix of these emotions upon completion. Alternatively, you can explore the currency exchange and trade market for these resources.

For those looking to upgrade their Distilled Emotions, the Reforging Bench is your tool. By combining three of the same type, you'll upgrade to a higher level of that Distilled Emotion, giving you more control over your anointing options.

If you're up for a challenge, tackling Simulacrum waves offers another chance to obtain Distilled Emotions. However, this method is less efficient and more demanding, requiring 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 *Path of Exile 2* in Early Access, future updates may expand this feature. To anoint an amulet, start by choosing any Distilled Emotion to access the Instilling window. Position the amulet in the center slot and place three Distilled Emotions, one in each of the bottom slots. The specific emotions required for the desired anointing ability can be identified by hovering over a Notable Passive Skill in the Passive Skill Tree and pressing alt on a keyboard or R3 on a controller.

Similarly, anointing Waystones can make them more challenging but also increase the quality of loot you can obtain. Keep in mind, neither amulets nor Waystones can be anointed if they are corrupted.

With these insights, you're now equipped to enhance your amulets through anointing, tailoring your build for optimal performance, or take on the challenge of anointing a Waystone to test your prowess in *Path of Exile 2*.

*Path of Exile 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
