Do Micro-Distillery Belts disable a Tincture placed in the 5th flask slot?
No, as Tinctures are not flasks.

Can you reconsider making the new purchasable corpses able to be Desecrated? There is a risk of losing your Spectre by just weapon swapping accidentally, corpse getting eaten by a trigger, etc.
We have a solution to this issue that will prevent Spectres from being lost in Hideouts/Town due to changing items around etc. If you leave town in a way that would cause you to lose your Spectres, they will spawn on the ground around you in the next area you enter. If you lose your Spectre in any way in a hideout, it will spawn as a corpse on the ground. If a corpse is spawned this way, only the owner of the corpse will be able to use Raise Spectre on it.

Does each Wildwood NPC have a Wisp associated with it?
Yes:

• Primal Wisps can be used to purchase Charms from the Primal Huntress.


• Wild Wisps can be used to purchase special corpses from the Breaker of Oaths


• Vivid Wisps can be used to purchase Tinctures from the Warden of Eaves

(During the Path of Exile: Affliction Content Reveal it was mentioned that Vivid Wisps were associated with the Primal Huntress and Primal Wisps with the Warden of Eaves, however this has since changed to the above)

Why did Summon Raging Spirits get its ''Minions deal X% More Damage'' line removed?
Raging Spirit Minions basic attack now have increased damage and damage effectiveness scaling with gem level roughly matching the old "Minions deal X% More Damage" modifier. This results in almost similar damage after the change. However, this does mean that Summon Raging Spirits will now not be as strong with Minion Instability. There might be a Transfigured version to help out with that though…

What's happening with the old Labyrinth Enchant system?
The Divine Font will now offer gem crafting options instead of Labyrinth Enchantments. Labyrinth Enchantments on existing items will not be changed or removed.
