Acquiring a
Mirror of Kalandra in Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) is a monumental achievement, symbolising wealth and the pinnacle of trading success. Here's a step-by-step guide inspired by various strategies, focusing on those suitable for players at any stage of their journey, from beginners to seasoned veterans.
Start With No Equipment - The Armour Scrap Method
Objective: Gather initial currency (
Exalted Orbs) to start trading.
Method
NPC Shops: Visit the NPC vendors in your current town. Look for items with 'Quality' in the name. These are usually cheaper in lower level areas.
Salvage: Use the Salvage Bank (unlocked midway through Act 1) to turn quality items into armour scraps.
Sell: Sell your armour scraps for Exalted Orbs on the exchange market or the trade website. Even if you take a small loss, it's a learning investment.
Build Your Bank - Spread Trading
Objective: Take advantage of market fluctuations to earn more currency.
Method
Spread trading: Buy items at a lower price and sell them at a higher price. Look for items such as
Black Scythes, where buying at 13 and selling at 9 could make you a profit over time.
Execution: Place buy orders just below the current lowest bid and sell orders just above the highest bid. This requires patience, but can be done while engaging in other game play.
Fight for Cash - Written Ultimatums
Objective: Farm high value items through combat.
Method
Trials of Chaos: Use Inscribed Ultimatums, especially those that cost around an Exalted Orb.
Rewards: These trials yield Soul Calls, Fragments, and potentially high-value items such as Deadly Fate, which can be worth significant currency.
White Item Farming
Aim: Collect and sell common white items that are in high demand.
Method
Identify valuable bases: Items such as Sur Fire Rings,
Heavy Belts or
Stellar Amulets (which can be turned into Astral Amulets) have intrinsic value.
Trade: Sell these directly or use
Orbs of Chance to potentially turn them into unique items.
Essence and Fossil Trading
Objective: Capitalise on the market for crafting materials.
Method
Essence arbitrage: Buy low-quality essences, reforge them into potentially higher-quality ones, and trade or use them. Essence of Haste is particularly lucrative.
Fossil strategy: Similar to essences, buy and reforge fossils, aiming for high-value results such as the rare Scaeva Fossil, which can yield over 200
Exalted Orbs.
High-end Crafting
Objective: Craft items with high demand stats.
Method
Essence crafting: Use specific essences (such as
Essence of Electricity) on high-level bases to create desirable stats (such as +5 to lightning spells).
Amulet Strategy: Focus on crafting amulets with +3 to all attributes or spell levels that are in high demand.
Final Milestone - The Mirror of Kalandra
Objective: Acquire or craft the ultimate currency item.
Method
Market Awareness: Monitor market trends for opportunities to purchase or craft a Mirror.
Crafting: With sufficient resources, engage in high-risk, high-reward crafting that could result in a Mirror.
