Path of Exile Muttering Essence of Sorrow FAQs

Can Muttering Essence of Sorrow be used to target cold penetration builds?

Yes. It guarantees cold penetration modifiers on weapon types, making it ideal for cold spell or attack builds that benefit from resistance bypass.

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 Sorrow with Remnant of Corruption?

Yes. Corrupting Tier 2 Essences can yield Tier 3 or special Essences like Essence of Delirium or Horror, 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 cold or Dexterity 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.
