Mimic Hunt



While the Mimic Hunt event is active, any chest in a dungeon can be a Mimic. This includes even non-loot ones and champion chests, and you are able to get regular loot also. Raid chests don't spawn Mimics.. Mimic CRs vary by quest level and difficulty.

These Mimics drop one, which you need 10 of to turn in for a card in the Halls of Heroes. Then you combine 2 cards, much like the Anniversary Card Collection event, for a final prize item.

Once 2,000 Mimics are killed on the server (1,000 for Wayfinder), there should be a server announcement (but there isn't any) and for the next (feels more like 10) the mimic spawn rate goes up to 100%. (Every chest in the game becomes Mimic.)
