Infusion

This article is about the upgrade component used in ascended equipment. For equipment with inherent agony resistance, see Infused.

An Infusion is a type of upgrade component for ascended equipment, which uses infusion slots instead of regular upgrade slots. Infusions are one of only two sources of agony resistance, however not every infusion provides this feature, which is important in surviving the higher levels of Fractals of the Mists. There are only three sources of infusions: via the Mystic Forge, BUY-4373 (using Fractal Relics), or Laurel merchants.
