Path of Exile (PoE) offers a unique trading system where players can directly interact to buy and sell items. Mirror services are a specific type of service within this system that deal with the extremely rare currency called "Mirror of Kalandra." Here's a breakdown of Mirror services in STD (Standard League):
What are Mirror Services (STD)?
In STD (Standard League), players can accumulate powerful items over many leagues.
A Mirror of Kalandra allows you to duplicate any unique item in the game.
Mirror services connect players who have a Mirror with players who want to duplicate a powerful item.
How do Mirror Services (STD) work?
The Seller: A player with a powerful item they can't use or want to duplicate lists their item and offers mirroring service for a fee (usually in Exalted Orbs).
The Buyer: A player who wants a copy of that powerful item contacts the seller and pays the fee.
The Mirroring Process: There are two main ways mirroring happens:
Trusted Mirroring: The seller uses their Mirror on the buyer's item, creating a copy, and then trades both the copy and the original item back to the buyer. This requires trust as the seller could potentially keep both the Mirror and the original item.
Collateral Mirroring: Both players trade valuable items of similar worth as collateral before the mirroring happens. This ensures neither player loses out in case of a scam attempt.
Finding Mirror Services (STD):
Official Path of Exile Forums: The official Path of Exile forums have dedicated sections for trading in Standard League. Players can list their mirror services with details like the item they're mirroring and their fee.
Community Trading Websites: Several community websites specialize in Path of Exile trading. These websites often have sections dedicated to Mirror services.
Important Note:
Mirror services involve a high risk of scams. Always be cautious when dealing with large sums of currency or valuable items. Consider using trusted sellers and ensure you understand the mirroring process before engaging in a trade.
