  1. 0.5 support

    A question we have heard a lot: will 10 Mirrors and 40 Mirrors work on day one of the new 0.5 league, when the economy spins up, filters change overnight, and live search is packed? The answer is yes, unequivocally. Plan to trade with the same stack you use now.

    40 Mirrors uses OCR to read the screen instead of private game memory. When Grinding Gear Games tweaks layouts, text, or how results show up, that architecture matters: the flow is not a brittle in-memory hook that fails when a byte moves. It is closer to what you already do with your eyes—read text and pixels, then act. So even if GGG adjusts how live search or trading works at the UI, the same loop—see a result, confirm the item, complete the path—stays in reach for 10 Mirrors and 40 Mirrors. You keep continuity where a memory-based tool might need a full rewrite overnight.

    We are not claiming nothing can break. If a last-minute change causes a hiccup—offset click, a moved label, a timing edge at launch load.. treat that as a hotfix window, not a long outage. In that case, expect an update in the first few hours of league launch while we use the build alongside you.

    Show up for 0.5 with the tools you trust. The OCR-first design is why you can expect both tools to work perfectly the moment servers are stable for trading. Good luck in the new league—see you in live search.

  2. FAQ: getting rich fast with 40 Mirrors (and keeping your account safe)

    Q: What does 40 Mirrors actually do in one sentence?
    A: It is a Windows OCR trader that watches your screen, reacts to live search results, and executes trades fast and consistently so you can capture profitable deals before the market moves.

    Q: How does it make currency so quickly compared to manual trading?
    A: Speed plus consistency. Most profit windows are short and require fast action. The tool removes the delay between a result appearing and you taking action, and it does that over and over without fatigue.

    Q: Is this “safe” for my account, or is it a memory tool?
    A: It does not read game memory. The core loop is OCR on the visible UI and human-style inputs. Inputs are digitally emulated mouse/keyboard movements and are modified on gaussian and bezier curves to add humanlike randomness.

    Q: What does “OCR based” mean in practice?
    A: It reads what is on your screen the same way you do, like item text, buttons, and trade site results. It is not scraping private data. If you can see it, it can parse it.

    Q: Will I get banned if I use it?
    A: Account safety is your responsibility alone. We deliberately avoid memory access, we keep inputs human-like, and we design the flow to look like a focused trader, not a machine spamming impossible actions.

    Q: How much currency are we talking about?
    A: It depends on your filters and the market, but the point is not a fixed number. The point is that it turns good trade ideas into captured profit reliably. With good filters you can and will generate nearly infinite amounts of currency.

    Q: Do I need to be a trade genius to use it?
    A: No. You need a small handful of solid filters and the discipline to iterate and improve. Start narrow, track what fills, then expand. See Usage page for best use practices.

    Q: What kinds of items work best for fast profit?
    A: Things with high demand where pricing is messy: underpriced rares that match common builds, popular uniques with listing mistakes, niche items, and anything where live search timing is the edge.

    Q: Does it work while I am doing other things?
    A: 40 Mirrors has to have a clear view of Path of Exile to work. It will not work if Path of Exile is minimized or obscured. You can (and should) run Path of Exile in a window at a low resolution, meaning that you can use the rest of your monitor for other tasks. Having a multi-monitor setup is even better.

    Q: What is the biggest mistake new users make?
    A: Chasing the most obvious items. You will not win every mispriced Week 1 Headhunter or Rite of Passage. Identify niche items that few other traders are live searching for and run many tabs with tight filters. Niche items are the most consistent profit. See Usage page for examples.

  3. 40 Mirrors 1.0: first public release after two leagues of testing

    Today is a big day for us: 40 Mirrors 1.0 is out, 10 Mirrors remains completely free and open-source, and this site and devlog are part of how we will talk to the community as we keep shipping and improving.

    Path of Exile 2 live search is fast, crowded, and unforgiving. The tools we build are meant to do two jobs well: generate currency and work autonomously. 10 Mirrors is the browser side of that story—a Tampermonkey userscript that works with the official trade experience, live search, and instant hideout travel, with the full source published so anyone can read it, learn from it, or adapt it. 40 Mirrors is the Windows companion for traders who want desktop OCR-driven automation, human-like input, and a focused setup around sniping and execution, without reading game memory.

    We are genuinely excited to put 1.0 in your hands. This is not a rushed minimum viable drop. This software began its development almost immediately after Async trade was launched with 0.3. We used two full leagues as a stress test: real market conditions, real competition for snipes, and changing market conditions. Every league is its own metagame. Different economy pressure, different items in demand, different competition. That time in the wild gave us a chance to harden the boring parts: reliability, recovery from edge cases, and clarity in the usage flow—so that what you download today is the product of sustained use, not a vibe-coded weekend proof of concept.

    The benefits we care about are practical. Speed matters, but so do predictability and safety. You should know what the tool is trying to do on each line of the path from a live result to a completed trade, and you should be able to tune filters and habits to match your risk comfort and your schedule. OCR-based item identification keeps the approach aligned with a simple rule: we are not poking at game memory. Human-simulated actions and a careful approach to how clicks and travel are chained try to keep behavior grounded in what a player could plausibly do, only with consistency and focus you might not have after the hundredth snipe of the day. The upside is a workflow you can run for hours: fewer “why did that happen?” moments, more room to think about the actual trade. For players who only need the browser layer, 10 Mirrors stays free and portable across the browsers we support.

    We are also thrilled to be able to keep distributing 10 Mirrors for free, with full source available, side by side with 40 Mirrors. The ecosystem works best when a strong free tier exists: people can try the workflow, learn the trade site rhythm, and contribute feedback or patches without a paywall in front of the userscript. Paid software funds deeper Windows-side development and support, but it should not wall off the fundamentals of fair, transparent browser tooling.

    If you are new here, start with the Installation and Usage pages. The Usage page, in particular, is extremely important reading to use this software effectively. We will call out breaking changes, safety reminders, and quality-of-life fixes there so you never have to guess what changed in a build.
