Can someone Explain Mirror Items?

[BecketsGD]

I still don't know why I keep getting these or what to do with them

there's the penultimate currency item you can technically have dropped in Poe called the mirror of kalandra, usually wort 10s of thousands of chaos orbs each league. They can be used to perfectly copy any item, which means players are able to 'purchase' a copy of the absolute best item available if its been made. Any mirrored item can never be modified whatsoever

What you are finding are monsters or strongboxes that say 'drops mirrored items' which will have an identified item drop, and then add at least 1 mirror of that item which 99.9999999999999% of the time will be worthless

Basically, don't pick them up unless you can vendor for a chaos of chromatic if you want to even bother

They're not some super magical sparkly upgrade, they're just items that have their inventory image flipped.

Now if you can get the currency that lets you mirror an item, that's worth something since you could duplicate a perfectly rolled best possible item and then sell it.

They are great to get a chance orb from the "2 rares with the same name" recipe, if/when you need some of those.

Mirrored trash-tier items come from mainly two sources: Strongboxes with the mod for it and a prophecy that drops an item and 3 mirrored copies. The later one of those can also be used to get an alchemy orb. This can save you from using some more time-consuming recipes when there's a challenge for those items to come from selling to vendor. (alternative the chaos recipe with one or more items below ilvl 60 yields a chance as well; alchemy orbs would be selling enough stuff that grants shards)

So yeah, once or twice a year they're useful.

So why drop useless mirrors if only one of them matter?
