Path of Exile Muttering Essence of Contempt FAQs

Can Muttering Essence of Contempt be used to target physical damage builds?

Yes. It guarantees physical damage modifiers depending on item type, making it ideal for melee, bow, or attack-based builds.

Does the guaranteed modifier override existing affixes?

No. The Essence upgrades a normal item to rare and adds one guaranteed affix. All other affixes are rolled randomly based on item level and mod pool.

Is it worth corrupting Muttering Essence of Contempt with Remnant of Corruption?

Yes. Corrupting Tier 2 Essences can yield Tier 3 or special Essences like Essence of Wrath or Rage, which offer stronger crafting outcomes.

How does item level affect the outcome when using this Essence?

Item level determines the pool of possible random affixes. While the guaranteed physical mod is fixed, higher item levels allow better suffixes/prefixes to roll alongside it.

Can this Essence be used in influence crafting or with fractured bases?

Yes. It can be applied to normal influenced or fractured items, and the guaranteed mod will be added. However, it does not interact with influence-specific mod pools or preserve fractured mods unless the item is pre-fractured and white.
