Azmerian wisp

File:AzmerianWispScreenshot.png

Azmerian wisps, and their associated Azmeri Spirits, are a type of encounter introduced in Dawn of the Hunt and first found in The Grelwood. It appears as a wisp of light that can be one of four varieties: Wild, Vivid, Primal, or Sacred.

They are somewhat similar to Path of Exile's Tormented Spirits.

Mechanics

As you approach the wisp, it will flee, granting monsters it comes into contact will be infused with the X-Touched effect, grant specific buffs. The wisp moves faster the closer you are, and will slow down if you are too far away. If you remain too far away for a period of time, the wisp will explode in a burst of light and disappear.

The wisp will attempt to possess a rare or unique enemy, granting it the Hunted by X effect which grants enhanced buffs and additional effects to the monster. The monster will also have more rewarding drops, which also scale with the number of infused (X-touched) monsters killed along the way. Hunted monsters are the only way to obtain talismans.
