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 and an exotic ring. 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).
Infusions can be removed from equipment using an Infusion Extraction Device or an Upgrade Extractor, the latter also removing any upgrades.

Types of Infusions[edit]

Transforming stats[edit]
- Primary article: Stat changing#Infusions
All attribute infusions that give +9 Agony Resistance and special attribute infusions are able to be transformed to a different stat through a Mystic Forge recipe.
Item | Ingredients | |
---|---|---|
Infusion of the desired stat | 1 | Infusion to change |
1 | Anthology of Heroes | |
25 or 150 | Tier 6 crafting material for the desired stat | |
Varies | Unique item (see respective page) |
Notes[edit]
- Infusions are lost when upgrading ascended items in the Mystic Forge, since the original item is consumed in the crafting process. Make sure to use an Infusion Extraction Device before you upgrade the item if you wish to keep the infusion.
- When crafting the standard attribute infusions, it is cheaper to start by crafting the +5 attribute infusions and then use them to create a +7 one, and use two +7 to craft a +9, though the cost difference is really small.
Steps | Agony Infusion | Matrices | Reagents |
---|---|---|---|
Cost to create one +5 attribute infusion | 48 | 5 | 15 |
Cost to upgrade two +5 into one +7 | 192 | 10 | 180 |
Cost to create one +7 attribute infusion | 192 | 10 | 189 |
Cost to upgrade four +5 into two +7 into one +9 | 768 | 20 | 738 |
Cost to upgrade two +7 into one +9 | 768 | 20 | 756 |
Cost to create one +9 attribute infusion | 768 | 20 | 765 |

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).
