How To Get Distilled Emotions

Distilled Emotions in Path of Exile 2 are a Delirium-specific currency that combines the effects of Delirium Orbs and Blight Oils. These are used to Anoint your Amulets with Notable Passive Skills and to add Delirium Effects to your Waystones for endgame mapping. To get them, you’ll be dealing with some Delirium!

Path Of Exile 2: How To Get The Ingenuity Utility Belt

The Ingenuity Utility Belt lets you boost your equipped rings in PoE 2, which can be incredibly useful. Learn how to get this accessory in this guide.

Knowing how to use Distilled Emotions is not only needed to min-max your endgame builds, but to also improve your farming strategies. This guide will detail everything there is to know about Distilled Emotions, from how to get them to how to use them.

Path of Exile 2 is currently in Early Access. The information in the guide is subject to change as the game continues further development.

How To Get Distilled Emotions

Delirium naturally spawned on a map in the endgame Atlas of Path of Exile 2. Completing the Delirium encounter in this map will reward players with some Distilled Emotions.

The primary way of getting Distilled Emotions is to run maps with a Delirium encounter. These maps are denoted by a small white icon on the endgame Atlas. The first thing that you will notice upon entering these maps is the Delirium Fog. Your objective is to stay in the Delirium Fog while killing as many monsters as you possibly can.

As you are killing monsters, a meter in the bottom–left corner of your screen will continue to fill up with rewards. The higher number of rewards you get, the more Distilled Emotions you will receive at the end of the encounter. To get the most out of it, try to add Pack Size, Monster Rarity, and any additional encounter that adds extra monsters, like Ritual or Expedition.

If you are unable to spawn Delirium naturally, you can also use a basic Precursor Tablet to force it.

Trading

If you do not want to farm Distilled Emotions yourself, you can also trade for them either using the in–game Currency Exchange or the Trade Website. Currency Exchange is unlocked after you complete Act–3 on ‘Normal’ difficulty. Once unlocked, speak with Finn, Risu, or Alva in any of the Settlements.

Open the Currency Exchange, select your required Distilled Emotion in the ‘I Want’ section, and Exalted Orb
in the ‘I Have’ section. After that, add in the amount you need, check the current market rate, and consider paying an additional Exalted Orb for a quicker trade. Unless the in-game economy is unstable, none of the Distilled Emotions should cost you in Divine Orb
, especially later in the league when everyone is farming them.

Once the trade is fulfilled, you will see your purchased items in the Currency Exchange – drag them to your inventory to start using them.

If you are playing Solo Self–Found, do not forget to use the three–to–one Reforging Bench recipe.

If you put in three similar Distilled Emotions, you will get an upgraded one. This is particularly helpful when you have a lot of common Distilled Emotions, but want a rare one.

Trade Websites, on the other hand, are much simpler (and sometimes cheaper) to use. Open the website, search for the required Distilled Emotion, and make sure that the Buyout Price at the bottom is set to Exalted Orb. If you need them in bulk, make sure to use the Bulk Item Exchange.

How To Use Distilled Emotions

Distilled Emotions serve two primary purposes, e.g. Anointing Amulets and adding Delirium Effects to your Waystones. The process is fairly simple, but there are a few things to keep in mind.

Anoint Amulets

Player changing the Anoint on an Amulet in the Installing Window.

Anointing essentially lets you get the benefits of a Notable Passive Skill without having to allocate it on the Passive Tree. This can be very helpful in endgame builds when you need a specific Passive Skill, but do not have enough Skill Points to path to it.

For instance, Icebreaker is an excellent Anoint for a Stormweaver Spark build that provides Freeze immunity, but to actually travel to that node, you will need around ten additional Skill Points.

In order to Anoint an Amulet, interact with any Distilled Emotion (right-click on PC, X/Square on consoles) in your inventory to open up the Anointing Menu. In this window, place the required Distilled Emotions at the bottom, and your Amulet in the top slot.

Keep in mind that the order of the Distilled Emotions can change the Anoint, so make sure to double-check it.

Once ready, click the ‘Anoint’ button at the bottom to add your desired Anoint (effects of a Notable Passive Skill) to your Amulet. At any point, to check which Distilled Emotions a Notable Passive Skill requires, open up the Passive Tree, hover over a node, and press Alt (R3 on consoles).

If you do not want to go through the trouble of checking every Notable Passive Skill, you can simply use this Anoint Calculator to see what different combinations of Distilled Emotions will allocate.

At the time of writing this guide, there is no way to Anoint a Corrupted or a Mirrored item. This feature is available in the original Path of Exile, so it should not take long to get added to Path of Exile 2.

Anoint Waystones

Applying three Distilled Emotions on a random T15 Waystone for endgame mapping in Path of Exile 2.

In addition to Anointing an Amulet, you can also use Distilled Emotions to add various Delirium Effects to your Waystones. Doing so allows you to add additional layers of rewards that you can get from running these Waystones.

Similar to Amulets, right-click (X/Square on consoles) on any Distilled Emotion to open the Installing Menu. Place your desired Distilled Emotions at the bottom, and your non–Corrupted Waystone at the top.

It is important to mention that Delirium Maps are significantly harder, so you will need a fairly strong build to complete them.

The table below shows a complete list of Distilled Emotions, Delirious Effects, and the additional rewards they give when applied to a Waystone:

Distilled Emotion	Delirium Effect	Additional Rewards
Distilled Despair	20%	Simulacrum Splinter in your Waystones have a 30% increased stack size.
Distilled Disgust	18%	You have a chance to get 30% more Precursor Tablets in your Waystones.
Distilled Envy	15%	You have a chance to get 30% more Waystones.
Distilled Fear	22%	Rare Monsters in your maps have 25% increased modifiers. This can make them much harder to deal with.
Distilled Greed	10%	Your maps have an additional 8% Item Rarity.
Distilled Guilt	9%	Monsters in your maps have an 8% additional Pack Size. This is a good way to add more monsters to your maps.
Distilled Ire	7%	Your maps have 20% more Magic Monsters. This, combined with Distilled Paranoia, can spawn a lot of monsters in your maps for endgame juicing.
Distilled Isolation	50%	This does not provide any additional benefit, but it is needed if you want to run 100% Delirious Maps.
Distilled Paranoia	12%	Your maps have 15% more Rare Monsters. Consider pairing it up with Distilled Guilt and Distilled Ire to add a lot of monsters to your maps.
Distilled Suffering	25%	All the Unique Monsters in your maps get an additional modifier. This can really beef up some Essence Monsters, bosses, etc.
