Tips

Acquisition Tips

• Ghrah Luminary will summon a monster called "Corruption". Killing the corruption is enough to obtain Aetheric Mimicry. If running unsynced, players can keep killing the adds until they learn the spell. This method is arguably faster and simpler than needing to form a party to run the dungeon synced.
  • The "Corruption" trash mobs at the beginning of the dungeon do not teach the spell.
