# Mirage ## The Mirage Challenge League In the Mirage Challenge League, you will encounter the souls of Djinn torturously trapped by the Afarud, and work to set them free. To free these trapped souls, you must enter the Mirage they project, an imperfect copy of the area around the captured Djinn. Fight your way through the monsters, astral hazards, and Afarud mages to the tether holding the Djinn. Free them, and you will be rewarded. ## Choose Your Wish Being a Djinn herself, Varashta can offer you a further mote of ancient Maraketh power, providing you with three [wishes](Wishes) to choose from. Each of these is a powerful modifier which will augment the Mirage you enter. * Sigil of Ruzhan: Monsters spawned by Astral Anomalies in Mirage Area have a rare chance to drop a [[Coin of Power]] * Sigil of Kelari: Monsters spawned by Astral Anomalies in Mirage Area have a rare chance to drop a [[Coin of Skill]] * Sigil of Navira: Monsters spawned by Astral Anomalies in Mirage Area have a rare chance to drop a [[Coin of Knowledge]] ## Empowered Leagues and Rewards The magic of the Mirage will augment any other league mechanic that appears within its dominion. Warped into existence by the Astral realm, these encounters behave differently, and can sometimes provide strange and powerful rewards. * Blight: [[Cord Belt]] * Essence: [[Essence of Desolation]] * Delirium: [[Refracting Fog]] * Harvest: [[Crystallised Rancour]] * Incursion: [[Volatile Vaal Orb]] * Legion: [[Honoured Incubator]], [[Sacred Incubator]], [[Miraged Incubator]] * Expedition: [[Heroic Tragedy]] * Ritual: [[Imperfect Astral Lich]], [[Astral Lich]], [[Perfect Astral Lich]], [[Imperfect Conjuror of Rot]], [[Conjuror of Rot]], [[Perfect Conjuror of Rot]], [[Imperfect Adherent of Zarokh]], [[Adherent of Zarokh]], [[Perfect Adherent of Zarokh]] * Ultimatum: [[Sinistral Catalyst]], [[Dextral Catalyst]] * Abyss: [[Stygian Vise]] * [[Mods:MagicSearchingJewelEffect]] * [[Mods:MagicMurderousJewelEffect]] * [[Mods:MagicHypnoticJewelEffect]] * [[Mods:MagicGhastlyJewelEffect]] * [[Mods:RareSearchingJewelEffect]] * [[Mods:RareMurderousJewelEffect]] * [[Mods:RareHypnoticJewelEffect]] * [[Mods:RareGhastlyJewelEffect]] * Rogue Exiles: [[Infamous Modifiers]] * Shrine: Afarud Shrine * Strongbox: with Guarded by 2 packs of Afarud Monsters * [[Opalescent Strongbox]] drop jewels * [[Operative's Strongbox]] drop scarabs ## Restore Maraketh Artefacts The Afarud are not only torturers but thieves, and have over the centuries stolen away countless priceless Maraketh artefacts - but using their magic, they have twisted and warped these to items suit their own purposes. Use the forbidden power of these desecrated artefacts or restore them to their former glory with the aid of Varashta. * [[Khatal's Weeping]] * [[Coin of Restoration]] * [[Khatal's Geyser]] * [[Coin of Desecration]] ## Imbue Your Skills Slain enemies in Mirages will rarely drop some of the most powerful instruments of Maraketh Magic - Coins of Power, Skill or Knowledge. Each of these can be used on a level 20 Skill Gem, corrupting it and imbuing it with a Level 1 Support effect which will inherently support that Skill. * [[Coin of Power]] * [[Coin of Knowledge]] * [[Coin of Skill]] * [[Ground Slam]] ## Saresh, of the Weeping Black By meddling in the affairs of the Afarud, you will eventually draw the ire of [Saresh](Saresh%2C_of_the_Weeping_Black), the necromancer supreme. Do you dare to face him and put a stop to his marauding undead legion? * [[The Sands of Time]] * [[Screams of the Desiccated]]
