What Are Azmerian Wisps?

Wisps That Infuse Enemies With Buffs

With the release of Dawn of the Hunt on Path of Exile 2, a new mechanic has been introduced—Azmerian Wisps. These glowing orbs appear throughout the Campaign and Endgame, and can be first encountered in Grelwood in Act 1.

Once found, it will start to move away from the player, infusing nearby enemies with buffs. The buffs an enemy gets depend on the type of wisp that possessed it but it can range from simply giving an enemy more HP to evolving it to the next rarity tier!

Don't let the wisp wander too far away from you though as it will disappear.
