POE2 Currency continues the deep customization and intricate itemization mechanics of its predecessor. Among the many systems players can interact with, the Arcane system provides powerful passive bonuses to equipment, especially amulets, without the need for traditional crafting methods such as orbs or crafting tables.

One particularly popular Arcane is Storm Charge, a powerful passive ability that only works when a specific material called Refine Emotion is infused into an amulet.

Adding Storm Charge to an amulet allows you to enjoy this powerful effect without having to allocate passive skill points in the skill tree. This makes it a very valuable upgrade, especially for optimized end-game builds.

In Path of Exile 2, amulets can be Empowered through a special crafting process involving Refine Emotion, a new crafting item introduced in the game's Delirium expansion. To cast Storm Charge, you need the following three Refined Emotions, in a specific order: Refined Fear, Refined Horror, Refined Envy.

The order is crucial. Mixing these items together can result in different passive skills or infusion failures if ordered incorrectly. Always double-check placement before performing an infusion.

There are two main ways to obtain the refined emotions needed for Storm Charge: combat or trading.

1. Random drops in Ultimate Delirium maps

The most direct way to obtain refined fear, panic, and envy is to participate in Ultimate Delirium maps, a type of ultimate content that is both rewarding and challenging. These maps are filled with Delirium enemies - shadowy, unpredictable foes that get more difficult the longer you stay in the mist of Delirium.

Refined emotions are rare drops from these enemies and are not always available. The deeper you explore the Delirium, the more rewards you trigger, and the higher your chances of finding the right Distilled Emotion. Consider using mechanics that increase the number and rarity of items (such as scarabs, sextants, and map modifiers) to increase the drop rate.

2. Buy on the Currency Exchange (via Alva)

She now provides a trading interface where players can exchange excess resources or currency for "Distilled Emotions".
