[[Infusion|Infusing]] [[armor]] is the only reliable protection against [[Spectral Agony]], the monster skill used by the [[Mursaat]] and their [[Jade construct]]s. To infuse armor, a [[player]] must kill an [[Eidolon]] or an [[Ice Beast]], then bring its [[Spectral Essence]] to one of the [[Ancient Seer]]s, who will infuse the equipped armor pieces of all [[character]]s within [[earshot]] [[range]] at the time. Each piece of armor can only be infused once, and the Seer will only infuse a set of armor once per essence.

==Locations of Seers and Eidolon==
*[[Iron Mines of Moladune]] [[mission]]
*[[Ring of Fire]] mission
*[[Abaddon's Mouth]] mission
*[[Mineral Springs]] (Ice Beast in the northeast corner)

==Mechanics==
A character with non-infused armor who is suffering from [[Spectral Agony]] suffers heavy damage, health degeneration, and movement and action speed reduction. This scales down per piece of infused armor worn as shown below:1
:{| {{STDT|transparent|+=text-align: center;}}
|-
| '''Infused armor pieces''' || 0 || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5
|-
| '''Health degeneration'''1 || 30 || 13 || 9 || 7 || 5 || 3
|-
| '''Damage per second''' || 81 || 42 || 29 || 22 || 16 || 9
|-
| '''Total health loss'''2 || 505 || 310 || 235 || 180 || 130 || 75
|-
| '''Slow effect''' || 80% || 33% || 23% || 18% || 12% || 7%
|}
#The game [[Effect stacking#Effect_caps|cap]]s health degeneration at -10; any degeneration beyond -10 hinders [[health regeneration]], but does not result in additional loss of health.
#Total health loss caused by the direct effects of Spectral Agony.

==Allies==
*[[Henchmen]] are infused except in the following situations that might involve Mursaat or Jade constructs:
**During [[Ice Caves of Sorrow]].
**During [[Iron Mines of Moladune]], they are not infused until a [[Spectral Essence]] is brought to the [[Seer]].
**In the [[Frozen Forest]] and [[Ice Floe]], unless bringing them from [[Marhan's Grotto]] or [[Thunderhead Keep (outpost)|Thunderhead Keep]].
*[[Hero]]es are always infused, although their armor does not state it. This is especially helpful when dealing with the Mursaat and Jade constructs before the opportunity to get infused armor.
*[[Pet]]s are always infused.
*[[Summoning stone]] allies are not infused.

==Notes==
*Armor which has been infused will be marked as ''Infused'' in the same way that weapons show [[customization]]; this property does not take up a [[rune]] or [[insignia]] slot.
*The infusion process uses the generic [[attack skill]] animation.
*Players need to be within earshot of the Seer to have their armor infused, if someone else is delivering the essence.

==Trivia==
*Prior to the [[Game updates/20050608|June 8, 2005 update]], it took five runs to infuse a set of armor, since Seers would infuse only one piece of armor at a time. This annoyance is noted by [[Jorith]] during the [[The Battle for Lion's Arch]].
