Reflecting Mist is one of the most exciting new crafting currencies introduced in Path of Exile Patch 3.25 as part of the Settlers of Kalguur expansion. Unlike traditional POE Orbs, which typically modify a single aspect of an item, Reflecting Mist lets players duplicate a rare ring or amulet-but with a twist.

Below, you'll find everything you need to know about how Reflecting Mist works, how to farm it efficiently, and how to use it without accidentally bricking your best item.

What Is Reflecting Mist in Path of Exile?

Reflecting Mist is a special currency item that can be used specifically on rare amulets and rare rings. When applied, it creates a new item called a reflected version. This duplicate is not identical-several important things happen during the reflection process:

·The base item type stays the same.

·The implicit mod remains unchanged.

·All prefixes and suffixes stay in place.

·Mod values can be amplified (buffed) or inverted (weakened or turned negative).

·The resulting item becomes Mirrored, meaning it cannot be modified further.

This makes the Mist a powerful but unpredictable upgrade path. You can end up with a near-perfect item, a hilariously cursed one, or something in between.

How to Get Reflecting Mist in Path of Exile

Reflecting Mist is rare. Very rare. Whether you're grinding late-game maps, farming cards, or using the in-game exchange, you should be prepared to invest time or currency. Here are all confirmed ways to obtain it.

1. Tier 16+ Maps (Random Mist Encounter)

The most direct and most RNG-heavy method of obtaining Reflecting Mist is by simply running Tier 16 or higher maps.

While mapping, your screen may display a notification indicating the presence of a Mist in the area. Interacting with it will do one of two things:

1. Allow you to reflect on an item on the spot, or

2. Drop a Reflecting Mist currency item, which can be stored and used later.

The second outcome is far rarer. Most players will see many Mist encounters before they ever see the currency itself drop. Still, if you're mapping heavily-especially with juice strategies like Delirium, Scarabs, or Altar farming-this-this-is your most consistent long-term option.

Tip: Running maps quickly and chaining T16 layouts with good density (Strand, Cemetery, Crimson Temple, and Dunes) increases your chances of spawning the Mist.

2. Divination Cards ("The Lake")

If you prefer a more targeted approach, Divination Cards are currently the most reliable deterministic source. Right now, a full stack of the Divination Card "The Lake" awards one Reflecting Mist.

To maximize your efficiency:

·Invest in Atlas passives that boost Diviner's Strongboxes.

·Roll maps with Strongbox pack size and Ambush Scarabs.

·Use sextants that guarantee Strongboxes if possible.

While pulling a full stack is still RNG-based, card farming gives you a predictable path to accumulating Mists over time-and can be surprisingly profitable in the bulk Diviner farming meta.

3. Currency Exchange (Fastest but Most Expensive)

If you simply want Reflecting Mist right now, the fastest and easiest way to get one is through the Currency Exchange system (trade market).

At the time of writing:

·1 Reflecting Mist ≈ 19 Divine Orbs

The price fluctuates depending on league economy and supply, but Reflecting Mist remains a premium crafting currency.

If you're not actively farming high-end maps or Strongboxes, purchasing a Mist may be more time-efficient than grinding for one.

How to Use Reflecting Mist in Path of Exile

Using Reflecting Mist is extremely straightforward; the outcome is anything but predictable.

How to Apply Reflecting Mist

1. Make sure your target item is a rare amulet or ring.

2. Right-click the Reflecting Mist.

3. Left-click the item you want to reflect.

4. A new Reflected (Mirrored) version appears in your inventory.

The process cannot be undone, and the reflected item cannot be modified. It becomes a final, uncraftable piece.

What Happens to the Reflected Item?

This is where things get interesting.

What Stays the Same:

·Base type

·Implicit

·Prefixes

·Suffixes

What Changes:

·Value rolls of mods

·Some positive mods may become negative

·Some values may be boosted dramatically

Many players use Reflecting Mist on items with strong bases that need optimization.

But be warned: inversion can ruin an otherwise perfect item. If you're reflecting something extremely valuable, make sure you're emotionally prepared for both outcomes.

Should You Use Reflecting Mist?

Reflecting Mist is not for early-game or mid-game characters. It is specifically designed for:

·High-end crafters

·Top-tier build optimizers

·Min-max players

·Late-league power scaling

·Endgame players with excess Currency

If you're the type of player who frequently trades, invests in high-roll amulets, or otherwise buy Path of Exile Items to perfect a build, Reflecting Mist is one of the most thrilling currencies in the game.

Final Thoughts

Reflecting Mist adds a compelling new gambling-crafting mechanic to Path of Exile, giving players another pathway to chase perfection chaos. Whether you farm it through T16 maps, collect Divination Cards, or buy it outright via the market, the Mist is rare, valuable, and capable of turning already-great jewelry into something extraordinary.
