How to Use Distilled Emotions in Path of Exile 2
There are two possible uses of Distilled Emotions inPath of Exile 2:
How to Anoint Amulets with Passive Skills Using Distilled Emotions
To add a Notable passive skill to an amulet, you’ll need to know which passive skill you want to anoint, the three Distilled Emotions corresponding to that Notable, and the Amulet itself.
The main benefit of instilling Amulets is that you can add major Notables that are far away from your main build on the passive skill tree. This way, you don’t need to take subpar nodes in order to get a particularly good one that’s out of your way.
To find which Distilled Emotions you need for a specific skill, hover over it in your passive skill tree and press ALT. This will show the exact names and order of the Distilled Emotions you need for that skill. For example, the‘Tainted Strike’passive skill requires Ire, Despair, Greed(in that order).
Gather all the required Distilled Emotions and the Amulet in your inventory. Right-click on a Distilled Emotion to open the instilling window, arrange them in order, and place the amulet in the box above them. Below, you should see the description of the skill you want to add. Click ‘Instill’ to complete the process.
Although any Amulet can be instilled with a passive skill, it’s best to wait till you find an Amulet for your end-game build before doing so. Distilled Emotions are not cheap.
