Path of Exile 2: Reworked Uniques - Reverie and Hollow Mask
Summary
- Overview of two unique items from the Wildwood reworked for the Return of the Ancients expansion.
- Reverie (formerly Husk of Dreams): A mantle that replaces manual life flask use with constant passive recovery and grants the Rite of Restoration Sigil skill.
- Hollow Mask: A botanist-themed helmet that reveals Ancient Blooms to generate flask and charm charges while sharing collected remnants with allies.
- Strategic synergy between both items to create a powerful support-oriented playstyle.
Reverie and the Rite of Restoration
Reverie is a rebranded version of the Husk of Dreams mantle, themed around the Druidic Majai woman Saral of Caer Tass. Saral led the defense of the Wildwood against the Nameless, calling upon the forest’s roots and the Goddess Viridi to aid her allies.
By equipping Reverie, you gain the following effects:
- Passive Recovery: You forgo regular life flask usage. Instead, recovery from your life flasks is applied constantly and passively.
- Rite of Restoration: This granted Sigil skill allows you to call upon the Goddess to create an invocation circle.
- Standing within the circle amplifies the defense and regeneration of all allies.
- While you remain inside the circle, these defensive and regenerative bonuses grow stronger as you spend mana.
Hollow Mask and Ancient Blooms
The Hollow Mask features roots that penetrate the wearer’s flesh, establishing a direct connection to the Goddess Viridi. This connection allows the wearer to see and interact with potential gifts from the forest.
Key features of the Hollow Mask include:
- Ancient Blooms: The mask reveals special flowers that manifest in the forms of the Wisps of the Wildwood. Collecting these blooms provides specific resources based on their type:
- Life flask charges
- Mana flask charges
- Charm charges
- Shared Remnants: Because the mask’s roots are embedded in the wearer, any remnants collected are shared with allies in addition to affecting the player.
Support Synergy
When used together, Reverie and the Hollow Mask serve as a powerful combination for supporting a party. The Hollow Mask provides a steady stream of flask charges and shared buffs, while Reverie utilizes those resources to provide constant healing and a scaling defensive area for the team.
