Mirage Crate

The Mirage Crate is a Hardmode crate that can only be fished in the Desert biome. Mirage Crates contain items found in standard crates, and always contain one item normally found in a Sandstone Chest in the Underground Desert. It has a texture resembling that of the Forbidden armor. Its pre-Hardmode counterpart is the Oasis Crate.

Drops
Note: Only one type of ore and one type of bar can drop, not both a pre-Hardmode type of ore and a Hardmode type of ore, or both a pre-Hardmode type of bar and a Hardmode type of bar. The table above implies otherwise with the respective groups being in separate rows, but that is for readability purposes. The chance that a type of ore is dropped is, and the chance that a type of bar is dropped is.

Trivia

 * The crate resembles the sprites of Forbidden armor.
 * Although the crate contains the same primary items as a Sandstone Chest, it will not contain a Desert Minecart or an Encumbering Stone.
