MMOexp POE 2: Helmet Anoints Have Changed Everything

[Stellaol]

Patch 0.5 quietly introduced some of the strongest character upgrades Path of Exile 2 has seen so far. Did you know your helmet can now be anointed? Are you taking advantage of extra jewel sockets hidden outside the passive tree? From powerful Delirium rewards to overlooked quality upgrades, these tricks can dramatically boost your build's damage, survivability, and flexibility. Better yet, many of these upgrades can save you valuable POE2 Currency by increasing your character's power without requiring expensive gear replacements—and many players still have no idea they exist.

Helmet Anoints Have Changed Everything

One of the biggest additions in Patch 0.5 is the ability to anoint helmets.

Previously, anoints were limited to amulets, but now players can add passive skills directly onto their helmets using a Raven Touch Shard. The process is simple: bring an uncorrupted helmet to the Delirium altar, socket the shard, and select your desired passive.

Sounds amazing, right?

There's one catch. Once the shard is installed, the choice is permanent. You cannot remove or replace it later. Even worse, corrupted helmets cannot be anointed at all, making it easy to buy POE 2 Orbs waste an expensive shard if you're not careful.
