Oils are currency items that can drop from Blight encounters. Using them on certain items gives these items an anointment, which can modify them in various ways.
Mechanics[]
Sister Cassia's Annointing interface used to add the Command of Steel passive skill to an Amulet
Oils can be applied by the player via Cassia, to Blighted maps, rings, amulets or blight unique items in order to add new modifiers or the effect of a passive skill:
| Type | Oils | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Blighted map | 1x | Increased monster pack size and effect depending on the oil |
| Rings | 2x | Buffs to Towers |
| Amulets
Blight unique items |
3x | Allocate a notable passive skill from the passive skill tree without spending a skill point or being connected to the rest of the allocated skill tree. |
- Blighted maps can have up to three anointments at a time. Multiple copies of the same oil are additive. Example - 3 clear oils with 10% reduced monster movement speed give a total of 30%.
- Anointments on equipment take up the enchantment slot.
- Allocated passive nodes on the Amulet behave as if the node were taken manually. In other words, socketing a Timeless Jewel and anointing a passive node will grant the new, transformed modifiers. It will not grant the old, original modifiers.
- Vendor - Three vials of oil can be vendored to create one vial of oil of the next tier, much like essences. For example, one

Shift click to unstack.. As such, it should only be used when one has a vast excess of one type of oil or needs a small amount of another type.
- Annointment order - There are 13 oils, combinations allow the use of the same oil more than once, and the order does not matter. Thus, there are 455 possible combinations[1] of both notable passives on the tree and Blight-only notables (non-cluster jewel notables). Some combinations do not yet have an associated notable.
