PoE 2 Mirror of Kalandra Drop Rate, Dupe Glitch & How to Get It

Path of Exile 2 Mirror of Kalandra is one of the most prestigious and rare currency items, its primary function is to create an exact duplicate of any non-unique, non-corrupted equipment or map, though the duplicated item receives a 'Mirrored' tag and cannot be modified further with other currency items. Its extreme rarity and utility have made it not only a practical tool for duplicating high-end gear but also a symbol of wealth in the game's economy.

PoE 2 Mirror Dupe Glitches & Methods

As the Mirror of Kalandra is very valuable and rare, some players are trying to dupe this currency item in PoE 2. There are lots of discussions around potential duplication methods or exploits in the community.

1. Skin Transfer Exploit

Some players have speculated that using a skin transfer on an item before mirroring it could result in duplicating both the original item and the skin. For example, if you transfer skin from one item to another and then mirror the second item, it might create duplicates of both items involved in the skin transfer process.

2. Duplication Bugs

There have been reports of bugs that allow for the duplication of items when using the Mirror of Kalandra under specific conditions. These bugs often involve complex interactions between item skins and the mirroring process, leading to unintended duplications.

3. Mirror Services

Many players offer "mirror services" where they will use their Mirror of Kalandra to duplicate items for a fee. This process typically involves collateral to ensure the safety of the original Mirror owner.

Note: Many of these methods, especially those involving bugs, are risky as they may be detected by the game's anti-cheat systems. Players using these exploits could face penalties, including bans.

How to Get Mirror of Kalandra in Path of Exile 2?

In Path of Exile 2, Mirrors of Kalandra can be obtained through two main methods: random drops from enemies and trading. While they can drop from any enemy in the game, they are extremely rare and most commonly found in high-tier maps or at the campaign's end. To increase the drop chances, it is recommended to use waystones with the "Increase Rarity of Items Found" modifier and wearing equipment with similar modifiers. The more practical approach is through trading, where players can exchange exceptionally valuable items like perfectly rolled Temporalis Silk Robes or Ventor's Gambles for a Mirror. If you are new players who have zero Mirror of Kalandra, here are the steps on how to get your first mirror in PoE 2.

1. Basic Starting Strategy

Visit any NPC vendor in town and search for items with "quality" attributes. Purchase these items at low prices (they're cheaper in lower-level areas). Once you have access to the Salvage bench (after mid-Act 1), salvage these items to obtain Armourer's Scraps. These Armourer's Scraps can then be sold on the trade website or currency market for Exalted Orbs. While the profit margin may seem small, this method requires no initial investment and is perfect for new players to build their first pool of currency.

2. Spread Trading

This step involves creating buy orders at higher prices and selling orders at lower prices to profit from the price difference. For example, if an item's buying price is 16 and the selling price is 9, you can create buy orders at 16 and sell orders at 9 to make a profit. This can be done passively while performing other activities in the game. The key is to monitor market conditions and choose items with good price spreads.

3. Inscribed Ultimatum Running

Once you reach level 80-90, you can start running inscribed ultimatum trials. Each run costs one Exalted Orb but provides three Soul Cores after beating the respective bosses, plus fragments at the end. The most valuable reward comes from defeating the tornado bird boss, which gives you a deadly fate worth around 40 Exalted Orbs. With efficient runs, you can complete four trials per hour, potentially earning one Divine per hour.

4. White Item Collection

Focus on collecting specific valuable white (normal) base items such as heavy belts, and stellar amulets. These items have high value because they can be used with Orbs of Chance to potentially create valuable unique items. Stellar Amulets, in particular, can sell for around 30 exalted orbs each, regardless of item level. This is a passive strategy that can be incorporated into regular gameplay.

5. Essence Trading and Reforging

Purchase cheaper essences from the market and use the reforge mechanism to potentially obtain more valuable ones. Essences like Haste are particularly valuable, worth about 1.5 Divines. The key is to buy the cheapest essences and reforge them, hoping to hit the more expensive variants. While this involves some RNG, it can be quite profitable when done in volume.

6. Advanced Strategies

For players with more currency, advanced crafting strategies become available. This includes crafting Sorcerer boots using Essence of Electricity aiming for +5 lightning spells, which can sell for 5-9 Divines. Amulet crafting for +3 level modifiers is another high-end strategy. These methods require more initial investment but can provide substantial returns when successful.

PoE2 Mirror of Kalandra Drop Rate

Based on players' experience, the estimated drop rate of Mirror of Kalandra in PoE2 is approximately once every 50,000 hours of gameplay, though its extreme rarity means most players will never find one naturally. Players can increase their chances slightly through item rarity modifiers, but it remains an exceptionally rare drop that can occur in tier 14+ maps. The single-portal system in PoE2 has added additional risk, as dying before picking up a Mirror results in permanently losing it, which has become a common concern among players. When a Mirror does drop, it is typically used for extremely high-end crafting or mirror services rather than early/mid-game gear.
