The Lake of Kalandra

This article is a stub. Please help improve the article by expanding it.

For the 3.19 endgame expansion, see Lake of Kalandra (expansion).

The Lake of Kalandra is an area found in the Kalandra League. Players can use Mirrored Tablets to create paths leading to treasure or enhancement that make the Lake's shrouded waters more rewarding the deeper you go, but also make the encounters more difficult.

Mechanics

Mirrored Tablet

Main page: Mirrored Tablet

Every area and map you enter in 3.19 may have a Mirrored Tablet used for constructing your Lake of Kalandra. Each Tablet allows you to place 1-3 Reflections (Encounters) on the Lake, and completely filling it allows you to run it and reap the rewards you've worked for.

Some are scaled-up versions of existing modifiers, while others are strong negative versions of the same modifier. The rings provide inverse stats; a negative mod on one ring is positive on the other. The magnitude of the modifiers is dependent on the difficulty of the completed encounter. You may only pick one of these items to take.
