Acquisition Tips

  • Ghrah Luminary will summon a monster called "Corruption". Killing the corruption is enough to obtain Aetherial Mimicry.

Other Tips

  • After acquiring this, it's strongly recommended to be mimicking at least DPS unless a fight calls for a different mimic.
  • The impacted spells for Healer are Pom Cure (cure potency from 100 to 500), Gobskin (shield potency from 100 to 250), Angel's Snack (Adds 200 potency regen for 15s) and Exuviation (cure potency from 50 to 300).
  • The impacted spells for Tank are Cactguard (5% damage reduction becomes 15% damage reduction), Chelonian Gate (Divine Cataract potency increased from 500 to 1,000) and Devour (duration from 15s to 70s).
