How to Anoint Amulets in PoE 2 with Distilled Emotions

If you’ve been diving into Path of Exile 2, you’ve probably come across Distilled Emotions—a new way to tweak your amulets and maps for extra power and better rewards. If you’re wondering what they are and how to anoint an Amulet with them, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. Let’s break it down in a simple, no-nonsense way.

Think of Distilled Emotions as a fresh take on the old Anointment system from PoE 1. Instead of using Oils, you’ll now collect Distilled Emotions from Delirium encounters, and these little guys let you:

Anoint amulets with powerful passive skills (without spending points!).

Upgrade Waystones to make maps tougher and more rewarding.

It’s basically a way to fine-tune your gear and boost your build without too much hassle.

If you want these bad boys, you need to tackle Delirium encounters. These misty, nightmare-filled areas are packed with enemies, and when you clear them, you’ll get Distilled Emotions as loot.

Each type has a different effect, and the real trick is figuring out the best combinations to use for your build or maps.

So, you’ve got some Distilled Emotions and want to power up your amulet? Here’s what to do:

1. Right-click a Distilled Emotion in your inventory to open the upgrade window.

2. Drop your amulet into the slot.

3. Pick three Distilled Emotions—each notable passive needs a specific combo.

4. Apply the upgrade and boom! Your amulet now has an extra notable passive.

Pro Tip: Hover over a notable passive in your skill tree to see what Distilled Emotions it needs. It’ll save you a ton of guesswork.

Heads-up: If you add a new passive to an already-anointed amulet, it replaces the old one. Choose wisely!

Want to supercharge your maps? Waystones are the key. Here’s how to apply Distilled Emotions to them:

1. Grab a Waystone (you’ll find them while mapping).

2. Open the upgrade window by right-clicking a Distilled Emotion.

3. Drop your Waystone in the slot.

4. Choose up to three Distilled Emotions to add different layers of Delirium to your maps.

5. Confirm the upgrade, and your Waystone will now make your maps harder and way more rewarding.

6. It’s a great way to crank up difficulty while stacking those sweet, sweet rewards.

When applying Distilled Emotions, the order you use them in can change the outcome. If you’re chasing a specific notable, double-check the combo before clicking confirm.

Got too many low-tier Distilled Emotions? No problem. Use a Reforging Bench to combine three lower-tier ones into a stronger version. It’s an easy way to get better anointment options.

Since amulet anointments give you free notables, plan your skill tree around them. This lets you save passive points and invest them elsewhere for even more power.

Applied the wrong notable? No big deal. Just use a different Distilled Emotion combo, and it’ll overwrite the old one.

The Distilled Emotions system in Path of Exile 2 is a fantastic way to tweak your build without needing to respec your passive tree. Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your amulet for extra power or supercharge your maps for bigger loot drops, this system adds another layer of depth without being overwhelming.

Experiment with different combos, keep an eye on high-value notables, and get ready to crush the endgame! What’s your favorite anointment so far? Let’s chat in the SSEGold discord community!
