Description
You have learned enough from fighting the Illusionists of the Carnival of Shadows to know the real from the fake.
How to Get
Defeat 100 Illusionists, Phantasms, and Dark Servants summoned by Master Illusionists.
Notes:
- It is not necessary to defeat the summoned critters to earn badge credit. Damaging them is sufficient to earn credit, which will be awarded when the critters despawn.
- Master Illusionists can be farmed by damaging their summoned critters and retreating beyond aggro range once the critters despawn. After an approximately four minute cooldown period has passed, they can be re-aggroed to summon a new group of critters.
- The Phantasms themselves can summon Decoy Phantasms, which is a source of confusion because of the description of the task for this badge mentions "Illusionist decoys." It is not the Decoy Phantasms to defeat (since you can't damage them).
- Summoned Illusionists are spawned three at a time, and in a phased state. Damage cannot be done while they are in this state. Look carefully at how solid they look before attacking. They will despawn after a short time.

Prior to Issue 16, Illusionist required defeating 500 summoned Illusionists. Phantasms and Dark Servants summoned by the Master Illusionist did not count towards the badge.
