PoE Warlock of the Mists

New Ascendancy: Warlock of the Mists

The Breaker of Oaths can teach you to become a Warlock of the Mists, a class specialising in the darker arts of the Azmeri. One powerful ability you can choose is Blood Hunt, which lets you consume corpses to gain more damage and protection against monsters that share a creature type with the corpse. The Breaker of Oaths can sell you additional corpses of exotic types, and these can also be used as powerful spectres. The Warlock of the Mists also gets access to many other abilities including a trio of new curse skills.

Affliction Ascendancy Point acquisition

A total of 8 Wildwood Ascendancy Points can be obtained, but are obtained separately for each Wildwood ascendancy through their independent questlines; for example, unlocking 6 points as a Warden does not unlock 6 points for the Warlock or Primalist. The final 2 points are shared, however, and granted to all three Wildwood Ascendancies simultaneously. Quests completed out of order (e.g. via someone else's Wildwood in a party) will unlock the respective points even if the player has not reached that point in their own quest. 2 points are unlocked for doing each of the following in this order:

Wildwood Ascendancy Warden of the Maji Warlock of the Mists Wildwood Primalist
NPC Warden of Eaves Breaker of Oaths Primal Huntress
Condition 1: Choose a Wildwood Ascendancy Warden of the Maji Warlock of the Mists Wildwood Primalist
Condition 2: Complete the Wildwood NPC's first quest
Unlocked at character level 20+		 Vivid Rescue
Rescue 4000 Vivid Wisps by defeating Treants		 Culling the Cultists
Kill 500 Cultists		 A Merciful Hunt
Kill 500 Nameless
Condition 3: Complete the Wildwood NPC's second quest
Unlocked at character level 50+		 Spiteful Winter
Defeat the Bíle Trio		 Becoming the Darkness
Interrupt the King in the Mists' Ritual		 Hunt for the Crow
Defeat the Black Mórrígan
Condition 4: Defeat the King of the Mists
Unlocked at character level 80+		 War for the Wildwood

Only the currently chosen Wildwood Ascendancy's quests can be progressed. Condition 2 and 3 can be completed in either order. Condition 4 is unlocked after completing any ascendancy's quest 2 and 3 for the first time.

How do you earn Wildwood Ascendancy Points?

  • Your first 2 Wildwood Ascendancy Points are acquired when you first meet the associated NPC and choose their specialisation.
  • The next 4 points come from 2 quests from each NPC.
  • The final 2 points come from defeating the King in the Mists, which will unlock the final 2 points for all three Wildwood Ascendancies. If you do this quest in advance (e.g. through Multiplayer), it will count towards the points even if you aren't on that stage of the quest.

How does respeccing Wildwood Ascendancies work?

Unlike normal Ascendancy Classes, respeccing points in a Wildwood Ascendancy Class only costs one refund point per passive. Also, you do not have to fully refund your Wildwood Ascendancy to switch to a different one. To change your Wildwood Ascendancy, you'll just need to find the associated Azmeri Wanderer in the Viridian Wildwood.

Wildwood Ascendancy Classes

While exploring the Wildwood, you might find some of the last few Azmeri Wanderers who have managed to survive in the forest since it was cursed.

Choose which of the Azmeri Wanderers that you will complete quests for to unlock one of three new Ascendancy classes which you can have in addition to your regular Ascendancy class. Up to eight points for these classes are unlocked as you complete quests for the Azmeri.
