Where To Find Anoint Oils
Oils drop fromBlight encounters.This is essentially a mini-event that involvestower defense mechanics.Appearing withCassianearby (who randomly appears on maps), you will be able to begin the event when youinteract with the Fungal Growth.
Overall, your goal is toprotect the pump by defeating enemies(either with your own skills or with the help of the towers that appear). As a reward for completing the event, you may be rewarded with some oils.
To get higher-tier oils, you will need tosell three from the previous tier.This applies from Clear Oil to Golden Oil. For example, if you head to a vendor andsell three Clear Oil, you will get one Sepia Oil.
What To Do With Oils
The first time you encounter Cassia, you willunlock the ability to add her to your hideout.Be sure to head there and place her; from here, you can interact with Cassia whenever you want.
Now that you have some oils in hand, what do you do with them? Your first step is tospeak to Cassia.Here, you can ask for an explanation on ‘Anointing Oils’. During this conversation, she’ll tell you that if you bring her oils,she can anoint amulets and rings.
So, from her interaction menu, now head over to the ‘Anoint Items’ section on the right side. This pulls up the anointing menu,allowing you to place a ring or amulet.Once placed, oil slots will appear below it. These can befilled with an assortment of oils in order to add enchantments to the item that you put in.

Anointed Amulets
By combining oils on an amulet,you will unlock a passive. If you combine any three oils with no Prismatic Oil, you willunlock one medium-size passive skill that already exists on the skill tree.
Overall, there are a lot of these; so many, in fact, thatit’s best to just use the oils that you have to see which options are possible.You’ll be able to see the anointment resultunder the oil slotswhen talking to Cassia before locking in to the result.
When you add a Prismatic OIl to the mix, you willunlock a unique type of passive.This passive isnot found anywhere on the skill tree, making it anoint-only. Below, you can check out all amulet anointments that use Prismatic Oil.
