PoE Tincture Changes 3.25: Tinctures Added to the Core Game

Tinctures Added to the Core Game

  • Tinctures have been added to the core game, with adjusted mechanics. You can place a Tincture in one of your Belt slots instead of a Flask. While a Tincture is active it grants you a powerful buff to your melee attacks, but inflicts Mana Burn on you, draining your mana at an increasing rate the longer the Tincture has been active. The Tincture can be manually deactivated, or will automatically deactivate when you run out of mana.
  • You can inherently only have one Tincture active at a time. Tinctures also have a cooldown, so once you have deactivated one, no Tincture can be activated for a time. Like Flasks, Tinctures can be Magic or Unique but not Rare.
  • NPCs in towns may now have Tinctures available to purchase.
  • Added a new Bloodsoaked Blade Keystone Passive Skill to the south-east of the Duelist's starting location. Bloodsoaked Blade causes Tinctures to inflict Weeping Wounds instead of Mana Burn, draining your life instead of your mana.
  • A new Nature's Concoction cluster has been added to the south of the Ranger's starting location. Nature's Concoction provides "Flasks adjacent to applied Tincture gain 2 charges when you Hit an Enemy with a Weapon, no more than once every second".
  • A new Perfected Formula cluster has been added to the south-east of the Ranger's starting location. Perfected Formula provides 15% chance for Tincture to not inflict Mana Burn and causes Tinctures applied to you to have 10% reduced Mana Burn rate.
  • A new Practised Reapplication cluster has been added to the east of the Ranger's starting location. Practised Reapplication provides 25% increased Tincture Cooldown Recovery Rate.
  • A new Colloidal Mixture cluster has been added to the north-east of the Ranger's starting location. Colloidal Mixture causes Tinctures applied to you to have 15% increased Effect, and 15% increased Effect if you've used a Life Flask Recently.
  • A new Burst of Energy cluster has been added to the north-east of the Ranger's starting location. Burst of Energy causes you to Recover 15% of Mana when you activate a Tincture.
  • Added a set of Tincture Passive Masteries:
  • The first 6 stacks of Mana Burn applied to you have no effect
  • 30% increased Evasion Rating while you have an active Tincture
  • 1% increased Flask Charges gained per Mana Burn on you
  • Flasks adjacent to applied Tincture have 10% increased Effect when used if you've Hit an enemy with a Weapon Recently
  • Tinctures deactivate when you have 12 or more Mana Burn

Unleashing Weapon Fury with Affliction Tinctures!

Tinctures in Path of Exile: Affliction offer a unique and exciting way to infuse your weapons with potent, temporary enhancements. Let’s explore their mechanics and strategize on how to wield their power responsibly and effectively:

Tincture Infusion:

  • Warden’s Wisdom: To embrace the power of tinctures, choose the "Warden of the Maji" Wildwood ascendancy class and unlock the "Coated Blade" passive. This opens the path to potent weapon upgrades via these mystical concoctions.
  • Vivid Visions: Vivid Wisps from Affliction encounters provide the key ingredient for creating tinctures. Seek them out, then barter with the enigmatic Warden of Eaves to forge your weapon’s transformation.
  • Multiple Masters: Remember, you can equip multiple tinctures, unlocking a dynamic mix of boons based on your chosen concoctions. Experiment and strategize to find the perfect blend for each encounter!

Ethical Empowerment:

  • Respect the Blade: Remember, your weapons are instruments of power, not tools for reckless destruction. Use their tincture-enhanced might responsibly, focusing on defeating challenging foes and protecting the innocent.
  • Balanced Benefits: While tinctures offer power, prioritize ethical gameplay. Don’t exploit their potential for unfair advantages or disrupt the enjoyment of others in the Affliction Wildwood.
  • Community Collaboration: Share your tincture discoveries and strategies with fellow Exiles! Together, you can explore the full potential of these magical weapons and navigate the challenges of Affliction ethically and skillfully.

Strategic Weaponry:

  • Synergy of Steel: Consider how different tinctures might synergize with your build, skills, and other Affliction mechanics like Wisp empowerment. Crafting the perfect combo can unleash devastating attacks!
  • Wildwood Wisdom: Pay attention to environmental hazards and enemy resistances when choosing your tincture enhancements. A well-timed buff can turn the tide of battle in your favor.
  • Master the Mix: Experiment with different tincture combinations to find the ideal balance of offensive, defensive, and utility boons for each Affliction challenge.

Remember:

Tinctures offer exciting customization and strategic depth to your Affliction experience. Wield their power with respect, creativity, and an eye towards ethical gameplay. As you forge your weapon’s transformation, let your skill and strategic prowess guide your path through the Viridian Wildwood, emerging triumphant and true to the spirit of fair play!

Feel free to ask any further questions about specific tincture effects, crafting strategies, or ethical considerations when wielding these potent weapon enhancements. I’m here to guide you as you master the art of the tincture and conquer the challenges of Affliction with honor and skill!
