The Broken Mirror Expansion Feature: Illusion Key Ring

Do you ever wish you could appear to be someone or something else, just for a little while? Perhaps you’d like a different buff with your illusion? And how would you like to be able to change or combine those benefits on a whim? If this sounds like you, you’ll want to purchase The Broken Mirror expansion; doing so gives EVERY character on your account an Illusion Key Ring!

The Illusion Key Ring, included with The Broken Mirror, helps you free up valuable bag space on your characters and allows you to readily locate your favorite personal character illusions from one easy-to-use tab. In addition to being able to find your favorite visual illusion, you’ll be able to assign a “stat illusion” to receive the stat bonuses from, while keeping the appearance from another illusion.

So, if you love the stats on your Polymorph Wand: Bixie Soldier, but prefer the appearance of a Twisted Gnomework, it’s no problem! By allowing separate stat and illusion appearance settings, the Illusion Key Ring gives you more ways to easily customize your character in-game!

Each character will start with an Illusion Key Ring that has 10 slots available for your personal character illusions. Do you have a really large collection of illusions? You can expand the size of your Illusion Key Ring by purchasing additional slots from the Marketplace. Additional slots are also featured items included in the Collector’s and Premium editions of the expansion.

Illusions purchased from the Marketplace won’t count against the slots in your Illusion Key Ring. You will automatically receive an additional illusion slot whenever you add a Marketplace illusion to your Illusion Key Ring. This slot will go away if you remove that Marketplace illusion.

Which illusions will you pack with you as you prepare to enter The Broken Mirror on Wednesday, November 18, 2015? If you haven’t purchased already, remember that All Access members save 10% when purchasing The Broken Mirror expansion.

hehe yay @ ring ... edited post due to response elsewhere =p

Good info, now do this for the collector's bonus illusion and merc that says it gives in game bonuses.

If those are outlined, maybe i'll actually buy it.

Could the Miniature Eyepatch and Dragorn War Mask bonuses be applied as a separate buff (so long as they stack in their current form)?

I would like this if just for being able to click off the dragorn illusion; but at the same time with the current way the Illusion key chain works it would be simpler if they stayed as part of the illusion because that would be one less click that would have to be done.

It was really a pipe dream, but I was hoping that the illusion keychain would let you stack your buffs so that one click would give you the best of the X buffs which stack as well as the illusion that you chose. But then it could be that there are fewer illusion applied buffs which actually stack with each other than I think there are.

I would buy the expansion for all my accounts just for this feature...if you would also make it so illusions don't drop upon zoning. Either that or extend illusion timers by 5x at least.

This is a great feature, I've asked for this before and glad to see it come about. But the act of having to continually click my illusion everytime I zone in this zone-based game, it's still unnecessary tedium that should've been phased out a long time ago.

I guess the illusion ring will Work like Mount ring.

But instead of that "key rings" over, it would better to the to the right of achievements.

But even better, I would rather have illusion key ring extended on the existing thing, and to the right of the mounts, instead of adding a new button.

.

Agree with Fortuneteller about the UI. Maybe move the not so useful Shrouds tab data to another place like EQ > Character > Shrouds so that a new Illusion tab would fit in without making the Inventory window bigger ?

And by the way it's about time to move the Radiant and Ebon Crystals to the Alt Currency Tab, and add a column there that would list the currency expansion, or the currency specific use.

The Mount tab should just be re-named to Key Ring and have both Mounts/Illusions separated in the 1 tab.

And I agree with Drewie, DEFINITELY remove the Radiant/Ebon from the inventory window to the Alt Currency tab like everything else, really sick of seeing that.

Please stop adding more and more buttons to the main tab of the inventory!

Making everyone's illusion's permanent just eliminates one more thing that separates some class's from others. I thought we all wanted that?

They are making it even easier for those that do have to click when they zone, is that not enough.

I was more interested in this "buff" from illusion thing, does anyone have a decent list of any illusions that give these?

Nice feature addition, +1

Can we get some clarification please? The Broken Mirror pre-order shows the keyring is claimable ONCE per ACCOUNT, but above you say EVERY character.

That is a major difference.

Each character will start with an Illusion Key Ring that has 10 slots available for your personal character illusions. Do you have a really large collection of illusions? You can expand the size of your Illusion Key Ring by purchasing additional slots from the Marketplace. Additional slots are also featured items included in the Collector’s and Premium editions of the expansion.

Illusions purchased from the Marketplace won’t count against the slots in your Illusion Key Ring. You will automatically receive an additional illusion slot whenever you add a Marketplace illusion to your Illusion Key Ring. This slot will go away if you remove that Marketplace illusion.

Is there a maximum amount of slots that can be added? There are quite a lot of illusion clickies in EQ.

Do LoN illusions count for free slots and when will the nimbus key ring be made?

Is the illusion ring player only, or does it work with pet illusions as well? Pet owners like myself would like to know so it helps us decide which expansion package to purchase...

"Claim" is probably the wrong word for this. There is no claiming of the Illusion Key Ring feature. Instead, once you have it, EVERY character on your account has access to it, and 10-slots for each of your characters.

It's not for pets, as many of those clickies aren't just illusions but things that summon familiars. From the article...

LoN illusions aren't flagged currently as "Marketplace" illusions.

There are no announced plans to do a nimbus key ring.

I'll suggest both of these things to the team, but currently there are no plans for either.

Check out the screenshots from the article above. We are cleaning up the UI so it'll be like the way you describe... one key ring section with mounts and illusions in different tabs.
