Agony Infusion

This article is about acquiring Agony Infusions. For information on how to maximize Agony Resistance, see Agony Resistance#Maximizing resistance.

An Agony Infusion is a type of Infusion upgrade item that can be added to an infusion slot to increase your Agony Resistance.

Acquisition

• 1 to 3 +1 Agony Infusions drop from Fractals of the Mists reward chests
• 2 +1 Agony Infusions drop from Cracked Fractal Encryption if the Recursive Resourcing mastery has been trained
• From salvaging ascended equipment with an Ascended Salvage Kit
• Artificers can combine two identical Agony Infusions with a Thermocatalytic Reagent to create a single infusion with one additional point of resistance
  • For example, it takes two +3 infusions to create a +4.
  • In general, crafting a single +n Agony Infusion requires 2^n–1 basic Agony Infusions and 2^n–1-1 Thermocatalytic Reagents.
• INFUZ-5959 in the Fractals of the Mists lobby can combine agony infusions into higher tiers.
  • Combining infusions with the merchant is minutely cheaper than with an Artificer. (This applies only if the Reagents are bought from a merchant, if it is bought for a lower price from the Trading Post, it will be cheaper with an Artificer.) However, this merchant only offers every other level up to 11, and players seeking to complete some collections, such as Ad Infinitum, will require an artificer to craft the unavailable levels.

Notes

• Once applied to infused gear, Agony Infusions can be removed via:
  • Infusion Extraction Device
  • Upgrade Extractor
  • Alternatively, you can replace existing infusions with a new one, destroying the old one.
    • Doing this on legendary equipment will instead place the old infusion in your inventory and the new infusion will be applied.
