Infusion
Infusions are a type of upgrade component that go into infusion slots, which can be found on all ascended and legendary equipment except amulets, as well as in a few exotic back items. Infusions are the primary source of agony resistance, which is important to survive the higher levels of Fractals of the Mists (although not all infusions provide agony resistance).
All the infusions from an equipment piece can be removed using an Infusion Extraction Device.

Types of Infusions[edit]
There are two major types of infusions: Agony Infusions and Attribute Infusions.
Agony Infusions[edit]
- Primary article: Agony Infusion
Agony Infusions provide between +1 and +30 Agony Resistance.
- +1 Agony Infusion are rewarded from Fractals of the Mists and Daily Fractal chests. The Adept and above Daily Fractal chests have a chance of rewarding +3, +6, or +9 Agony Infusions.
There are two methods to obtain infusions that grant higher Agony Resistance. Both methods have similar costs.
- Artificer - Agony Infusions can be upgraded to give more Agony Resistance with a level 100 artificer by combining two of the previous with a Thermocatalytic Reagent.
- e.g. 2 +3 Agony Infusion + 1 Thermocatalytic Reagent = 1 +4 Agony Infusion.
- INFUZ-5959 - Sells +3, +5, +7, +9, +11 Agony Infusions in exchange for +1, +3, +5, +7, +9 Agony Infusions
- e.g. 1 +5 Agony Infusion can be purchased by using 16 +1 Agony Infusion + 22
40 
or by using 4 +3 Agony Infusion + 4 48 . - Note: 4 +3 Agony Infusion can be obtained with 16 +1 Agony Infusion + 17 92 , therefore the price is equivalent regardless of which method you choose.
- e.g. 1 +5 Agony Infusion can be purchased by using 16 +1 Agony Infusion + 22
Simple Infusions[edit]
Simple Infusions provide +3, +5, or +7 Agony Resistance. The simple infusions function as a normal Agony Infusion.
The +5 and +7 simple infusions are no longer available for purchase however they still function. They were purchasable for Fractal Relics and can be refunded for 75 and 150 relics, respectively, at INFUZ-5959.
Attribute Infusions[edit]
Attribute Infusions provide a small bonus to Power, Precision, Condition Damage, Toughness, Vitality or Healing Power.

Trivia[edit]
- In Guild Wars, infusion was the process of imbuing armor pieces with magic to protect against the mursaat's Spectral Agony.
- Prior to the July 26, 2016 update, there were 5 infusion types: offensive, defensive, utility, versatile (omni), and agony. Versatile infusions could be placed in non-agony infusion slots. The update simplified the types to Infusions (offensive, defensive, versatile, and agony) and Enrichments (utility).
- The Versatile Bounteous Infusion is an unimplemented infusion that appears in the API.
