In Path of Exile 2 (PoE2), the Mirror of Kalandra is the rarest and most valuable currency item in the game. It allows players to create an exact mirrored copy of an equippable non-unique item. This powerful tool is primarily used for duplicating the most extraordinary and perfectly crafted gear.

Here’s a guide to understanding, getting, and using the Mirror of Kalandra.

What Is a Mirror of Kalandra?

What it does: Creates a mirrored copy of a non-unique item.
Why it’s useful: A mirrored item retains the exact stats, sockets, and modifiers of the original item. However, the mirrored version cannot be modified in any way.

For example:

If you have a perfectly crafted rare sword, you can use a Mirror of Kalandra to make an identical copy of it for use or trade.
The mirrored copy will have the same modifiers, sockets, and links but will include a “Mirrored” tag.

How to Get a Mirror of Kalandra

1. Drops from Monsters

The Mirror of Kalandra is one of the rarest drops in the game. It has an extremely low chance to drop from enemies, bosses, chests, or destructible objects.

2. Trade

The Mirror of Kalandra is highly valuable and often used as a currency standard for trading the best items in the game. If you’re looking to acquire one, you’ll likely need to trade other high-value currency or items.

3. League Rewards or Events

Occasionally, league-specific mechanics or rare rewards from events may provide an opportunity to obtain a Mirror of Kalandra.

How to Use a Mirror of Kalandra

Using a Mirror of Kalandra is simple but should only be done with extreme care:

Right-click the Mirror of Kalandra in your inventory.
Left-click on a non-unique item that you want to duplicate.
The item will be mirrored, and the mirrored version will appear in your inventory.

Note:

Mirrored items cannot be modified in any way. This includes rerolling stats, changing sockets, or corrupting the item.
The mirrored item will have the “Mirrored” tag to distinguish it from the original.

When to Use a Mirror of Kalandra

Duplicating the Best Items

Use a Mirror of Kalandra on perfectly crafted rare gear that has the ideal modifiers, sockets, and links for your build.

Trading for Huge Value

Many players use mirrored items as highly valuable trade assets. Mirrored copies are often worth large amounts of in-game currency, making them a cornerstone of the economy.

Tips for Using a Mirror of Kalandra

Use on Endgame Gear: Since the Mirror of Kalandra is so rare, it’s best saved for items with near-perfect modifiers.
Plan for Trade: If you’re using the mirror on someone else’s item, ensure you have a trade agreement, as many mirrored items are shared in the community.
Don’t Waste It: Mirroring a mediocre item isn’t worth it. Make sure the item is the absolute best possible version before using this currency.
