Quick answer
PoE2 calls this process Instilling, although players often search for anointments or anointing. Choose the Notable in the recipe directory, obtain the exact three regular Liquid Emotions shown from left to right, place them with an eligible Amulet or Raven-Touched item in the Decanter of Madness at The Withered Willow, and confirm the preview before crafting.

What you need
3 points- An eligible Amulet or an item that has the Raven-Touched modifier.
- The three regular Liquid Emotions required by the chosen recipe.
- Access to the Instilling crafting bench at The Withered Willow.
Step 1
Reveal The Withered Willow
Complete a Delirium encounter on the Atlas to reveal The Withered Willow southwest of the Atlas starting point. Enter the hub and use its Decanter of Madness crafting bench for Instilling.
- The Withered Willow is visible on the Atlas.
- The character can enter the hub and interact with the Decanter of Madness.
Delirium
Review the encounter, Liquid Emotion drops, Atlas hub, and current progression.
Delirium Atlas tree
Inspect the Delirium tree and its connected progression.
Step 2
Choose the Notable and copy its recipe
Search the complete recipe directory by Notable name or effect. Record all three Liquid Emotions in their displayed order. A recipe with the same ingredients in a different order can produce a different Notable. In game, hold Alt over a Notable to view its combination, or use View Notables in the Instilling interface to highlight recipes available from the emotions in the inventory.
- The effect is useful for the build while the item is equipped.
- The three emotion names and their positions match the chosen recipe.
- An Instilling-only label means the Notable is not on the normal Passive Skill Tree.
Instilling recipe directory
Search all 875 current recipes and filter each of the three ordered ingredient slots.
Passive Skill Tree
Check whether the Notable is already allocated and how it relates to the build.
Step 3
Collect the three regular Liquid Emotions
Obtain the exact regular Liquid Emotions listed by the recipe. Liquid Emotions are associated with Delirium content and can also be traded. Ancient Liquid Emotions are a separate jewel-crafting material and cannot be substituted.
- Each ingredient name matches the recipe, including Diluted, Concentrated, or Potent where shown.
- There are three usable regular Liquid Emotions.
- None of the ingredients is an Ancient Liquid Emotion.

Open one regular Liquid Emotion page and follow its category links to the other emotions.
Step 4
Place the item and emotions in the bench
Use the Decanter of Madness at The Withered Willow. Place the eligible item and all three emotions into their exact recipe positions. Read the resulting Notable in the preview before confirming because Instilling consumes the ingredients.
- The item is an eligible Amulet or has Raven-Touched.
- The preview names the intended Notable.
- The preview does not show a replacement you did not intend.
Instilling
Read eligible items, enchantment limits, replacement behavior, and related crafts.
Strugglescream

Step 5
Equip the item and verify the result
The Instilled Notable is allocated while the item is equipped. Check the character with the item equipped and avoid allocating the same Notable on the normal Passive Skill Tree because a second allocation does not grant the effect twice.
- The crafted item displays the intended Notable.
- The item is equipped in the active gear set.
- The same Notable is not being paid for again on the normal tree.
Instilling rules
Check stacking, replacement, special item limits, and jewel crafting rules.
Passive Skill Tree
Review the character's normal passive allocation.
Important limits
Instilling an item again replaces its existing Instilled enchantment. If an item can hold several Instilled enchantments, one is replaced at random.
An existing enchantment cannot be replaced on a corrupted, mirrored, or sanctified item.
Older guides describe Instilling Waystones. That system was removed in version 0.4.0 and is not part of the current process.
Ancient Liquid Emotions modify Rare Time-Lost Jewels. They do not work as ingredients for the three-emotion Instilling recipe.
