Mirage Mechanic Guide Empowered Mechanics

Introduction

Mirages that copy Mechanics may have a an Empowered version of that Mechanic within the Mirage, instead of the normal one.

Each Mechanic is modified in a different, unique way. These Empowered Mechanics can have increased difficulty… but each offers a new reward that can be obtained exclusively through Mirages.

As this is a Pre-Launch guide, many Empowered Mechanics are not yet known – this guide will be updated as they are discovered/revealed!

This is a Pre-Launch Guide, as the Mirage Challenge League is not yet live. This guide is based on publicly available information about Mirage through reveals, teasers, Q&A, developer comments, etc, and will continue to be updated up through – and after – league launch. As such, information in this guide may be inaccurate, or simply changed by GGG prior to launch.

Blight

Blights have one of their Lanes populated by Afarud enemies. These enemies have a chance of dropping a new Belt Base type – Cord Belt – with the implicit “Can be Anointed”.

Delirium

Delirium monsters have a chance to drop a new currency item that lets you reroll the enchantment on Cluster Jewels while keeping all of its existing modifiers.

This allows you to get combinations of enchantments and notables that would otherwise be impossible – even moreso if you fracture modifiers!

Essences

Essences can have a a new Mirage-exclusive essence – Essence of Desolation.

Expeditions

Preview Footage has shown Runic Monster markers that are glowing with an orange fire. Their effects and rewards are currently unknown.

Harvests

Can grant a new crafting material for Horticrafting – Crytallised Rancor. Its crafts are currently unknown.

Kalguuran Ore

Ore inside Mirages can be replaced by a Thaumaturgic Dust Hourglass, which grants a large quantity of Thaumaturgic Dust.

Strongboxes

Strongboxes may have an additional implicit modifier, causing additional packs of Afarud to spawn. It’s unknown if these Strongbox packs have any additional drops.

Ultimatum

Ultimatums within Mirages can have new modifiers, as well as offer two new Catalysts – Dextral and Sinnistral Catalysts. These catalysts improve the quality of all Prefix or Suffix Modifiers.
