Each use consumes 60 charges.
You can refill charges by killing monsters or using Wells.

Against Ignite-focused Bosses: Certain bosses or elites use ignite as their main damage source.

How Do You Get the Dousing Charm?
Dropped by Enemies: The charm can drop randomly from monsters or chests in the game.
Mid-Game Zones: Since it requires Level 32, it may be most likely to appear in mid-level areas.

Equip It in Your Belt:
The charm only works if it’s placed in one of your belt slots.
Refill Charges:
Keep your charges full by killing monsters or using Wells between fights.
Pair It with Fire Resistance:
Combine this charm with flasks or gear that boost fire resistance to handle fire-based threats more effectively.
Be Prepared for Fire Enemies:
Equip the charm before exploring areas known for ignite effects or fire damage.
The Dousing Charm is an excellent tool for surviving fire-heavy encounters in Path of Exile 2. Keep it ready, watch your charges, and use it when ignite effects start to become a problem. Good luck, and may your adventures stay burn-free!
