As you return from the Wildwood, any Wisps you have saved from the Affliction disperse into the environment and inhabit randomly-chosen monsters, increasing their power and also their rewards. The different types of Wisps have different effects, and sometimes more than one type will inhabit a single monster, making the fight even harder and even more rewarding.
Name | Description | Use |

If a monster gets all three types, they'll drop more items of a higher rarity and a lot of currency.
Wisps are a type of non-itemised resource that can be collected while exploring the Wildwood. Wisps do not scale with item quantity from equipment or area modifiers. After exiting the Wildwood area, wisps disperse across the rest of the zone, affecting and enhancing random monsters in a manner somewhat similar to Sentinel's empowerment. Wisps come in three varieties: Primal, Wild, and Vivid. Each type is used for different Affliction vendors, and provides different benefits when affecting monsters:
Multiple types of wisps can affect the same monster.
Wisps can also affect monsters that have not been spawned yet such as Breach monsters, even when they are not on the map after completing the Affliction encounter. Some monsters in the Wildwood can also spawn already affected by Wisps.
As you approach the darkness, your Wisps burn away the affliction that shrouds the forest. Make sure you tread carefully, because your Wisps only have a limited amount of power before they run out and you are returned to Wraeclast. Be warned, the darkness is full of cursed monsters that emerge to kill you.
As you explore, you might see other types of Wisps trapped inside the darkness. Follow the trails of Wisps by collecting them, and you may uncover many different secrets such as new characters, shrines, boss battles, and new encounters. There are many rewards to earn, for those brave enough to seek them.

Extends the distance you have remaining to explore the Wildwood. Large clusters of Sacred Wisps also light the area around them on contact.
Ah, the Sacred Wisps of the Viridian Wildwood! These enigmatic orbs are your lifeblood when venturing into this mysterious domain. Let's delve into their vital role:
Guardians of Exploration:
Imagine plunging into the depths of a dense, primordial forest shrouded in perpetual twilight. That's the Viridian Wildwood, and navigating its depths relies on Sacred Wisps. Every time you encounter one, it fuels your progress, extending the distance you can explore before being swallowed by the encroaching darkness.
Types of Wisps:
Standard Wisps: These small, shimmering orbs scattered throughout the Wildwood replenish your exploration gauge, granting you crucial moments to delve deeper.
Large Wisp Clusters: Keep an eye out for vibrant pulsating clusters of Sacred Wisps. Upon contact, they not only extend your exploration distance but also bathe the surrounding area in a temporary pool of light, revealing lurking dangers and hidden secrets.
Maximizing Your Journey:
Prioritize collecting Wisps whenever possible. Every bit of light counts when navigating the perilous depths of the Wildwood.
Remember that Wisps don't stack individually. Focus on finding and interacting with Wisp clusters for maximum light and distance gain.
Utilize Atlas Passives and map modifiers that increase the spawn rate and effectiveness of Sacred Wisps for longer, more rewarding explorations.
Beware the Darkness:
Remember, the encroaching darkness of the Viridian Wildwood is relentless. Manage your Wisp reserves carefully, and don't stray too far from their illuminating embrace. Otherwise, you risk being consumed by the shadows and facing an untimely demise.
With the Sacred Wisps as your guide, Exiles, you can confidently venture into the heart of the Viridian Wildwood, uncovering its secrets and reaping its rewards. Remember, knowledge is power, and light is your shield against the ever-present darkness.
