3+## Access
4+The entrance to the Wildwood in any act or map area is marked by a ring of white Sacred Wisps. Players can explore through the Wildwood until the Sacred Wisps burn out after a set distance of travel. This encounter does not have a timer. Each new instance generates a new Wildwood area, with random layouts and encounters. As the Wildwood shares the instance with the main area, it is affected by map modifiers, including pack size and item quantity.

5-In Path of Exile: Affliction, you'll cleanse [[The Viridian Wildwood]] of its Affliction, earn valuable rewards and learn the ancient ways of the Azmeri Wanderers.
6+Once you leave the Viridian Wildwood, all currently collected wisps are released to the main zone and you cannot re-enter the Wildwood. You can open portals inside the Wildwood, but dying or leaving will despawn any portals inside the Wildwood, preventing re-entry.

7-Our December expansion introduces the Affliction challenge league, three new Wildwood Ascendancy Classes, the return of the Ultimatum League, over a hundred new Transfigured Gems, and much more!
8+## Wisps
9+Wisps are a type of non-itemised resource that can be collected while exploring the Wildwood. Wisps do not scale with item quantity from equipment or area modifiers. After exiting the Wildwood area, wisps disperse across the rest of the zone, affecting and enhancing random monsters in a manner somewhat similar to Sentinel's empowerment. Wisps come in three varieties: Primal, Wild, and Vivid. Each type is used for different Affliction vendors, and provides different benefits when affecting monsters:

11+* <span style="color:yellow">Vivid Wisps</span> grant a more item quantity bonus. Empowered monsters take reduced damage and gain increased attack, cast, and movement speed.
12+* <span style="color:magenta">Wild Wisps</span> grant a more item rarity bonus. Empowered monsters take reduced damage and gain additional projectiles and more area of effect.
13+* <span style="color:cyan">Primal Wisps</span> cause them to drop additional currency items, including eldritch currency, [[Voidborn Reliquary Key]], and [[Valdo's Puzzle Box]]. Empowered monsters take reduced damage and gain more critical strike chance and additional critical strike multiplier.

11-In the Affliction League, you will encounter Sacred Wisps that beckon you to enter overgrown passageways that lead to the Viridian Wildwood. A vile Affliction has covered this forest with a foreboding darkness. You'll need to uncover the forest's mysteries to put a stop to the source of the Affliction.
15+The quantity of Wisps possessed upon exiting the Wildwood will determine the number of monsters affected as well as the magnitude of the empowerment provided. Multiple types of wisps can affect the same monster, stacking their bonuses.
1216
13-## The Viridian Wildwood
17+Wisps can also affect monsters that have not been spawned yet such as Breach monsters, even when they are not on the map after completing the Affliction encounter. Some monsters in the Wildwood can also spawn already affected by Wisps.
1418
15-As you approach the darkness, your Wisps burn away the affliction that shrouds the forest. Make sure you tread carefully, because your Wisps only have a limited amount of power before they run out and you are returned to Wraeclast. Be warned, the darkness is full of cursed monsters that emerge to kill you.
19+The fourth type of wisp, Sacred Wisps, are used exclusively to burn away the darkness in the Wildwood and does not have any other effects. Two types of special Sacred Wisp clusters can be found in the Wildwood; a larger pulsating orb that reveals an area around it, or a smaller dim orb that extends the distance the player can explore in the Wildwood.
1620
17-As you explore, you might see other types of Wisps trapped inside the darkness. Follow the trails of Wisps by collecting them, and you may uncover many different secrets such as new characters, shrines, boss battles, and new encounters. There are many rewards to earn, for those brave enough to seek them.

23+The Wildwood is covered in a darkness called the "affliction". Enemies in the darkness cannot be damaged or damage you. Sacred Wisps burn the affliction away for a fixed distance of travel, creating a traversable path and unlocking smaller sub-areas containing various encounters. Traveling too deep into the affliction without Sacred Wisps will cause the player to gain a cosmetic debuff that kicks players out of the Wildwood at 10 stacks.

25+## Layout
2426
25-As you return from the Wildwood, any Wisps you have saved from the Affliction disperse into the environment and inhabit randomly-chosen monsters, increasing their power and also their rewards. The different types of Wisps have different effects, and sometimes more than one type will inhabit a single monster, making the fight even harder and even more rewarding.
27+The Wildwood's actual layout is roughly in the shape of a diamond. In each Wildwood, there are four "events" (anything that causes the affliction to get cleared in a large circle), with one placed in the north, west, east, and south region of the layout. You will spawn anywhere in the Wildwood not too close to an event. If you can find two events, it should give you a better idea of where in the Wildwood you are and help you locate the center and then find the other two events.[1]
2628
27-Primal Wisps grant an item rarity bonus to inhabited monsters, Wild Wisps grant an item quantity bonus, and Vivid Wisps cause them to drop currency items. If a monster gets all three types, they'll drop more items of a higher rarity and a lot of currency.

36-The Affliction Challenge League has many different types of rewards. Monsters you fight throughout Wraeclast can be affected by the Wisps you have brought back from the Viridian Wildwood, dramatically increasing the quality and quantity of items they drop. As you progress through the league, you will earn a Wildwood Ascendancy Class and the [Charm](Charm)s, [Corpse](Corpse)s or [Tincture](Tincture)s that it utilises. The Mists hide many additional secret rewards that you will discover as you explore. Path of Exile: Affliction also contains over 15 new unique items.

If you defeat the trial, he offers to go double or nothing with you. Do you take the risk and go for an even better reward? Or do you lock in the winnings you have already earned?
