Dialogue[edit]
- In Lion's Arch, without any ranks in Legendary Precursor Crafting Mastery
- You think you can craft a legendary precursor weapon? Come back to me once you have trained the first Mastery ability in the Legendary Crafting Mastery Track.
- I'll get right on that!
- In Lion's Arch, with one or more ranks
- You are well on your way to crafting a Legendary. Keep at it, my friend!
- Show me your wares.
- I have misplaced a vital component for crafting my Legendary.
- I got your letter about new legendary equipment.
- Good. The master crafters are researching a new form of legendary crafting that requires salvage material from runes and sigils.
- Thanks for the information.
- Thank you for all your help.
- In Mists Vault
- I've heard you're here to take possession of supplies for a legendary weapon. It's a significant undertaking. Let me know if you have any personal curiosities.
- Are legendary items more powerful? What's the benefit to me?
- Legendary equipment is equal in power to ascended equipment, but you can freely change its attributes and appearance, and it's stored in your Legendary Armory. Plus, it's quite opulent.
- Interesting. I have another question.
- Thanks, that clears it up for me.
- What else do I need to do to complete a legendary weapon?
- We'll provide some of what you'll need, but not everything. You'll need to gather more components for a Gift of Mastery and a Gift of Fortune.
- Interesting. I have another question.
- Thanks, that clears it up for me.
- Is there a way to track my progress?
- Each legendary weapon that we can help with has an achievement tracking its required materials. It should serve you well as a guide, so be sure to take a look after choosing one to pursue.
- Could you show me where those achievements are?
- Interesting. I have another question.
- Thanks, that clears it up for me.
- Where do I go to craft a legendary weapon?
- You'll be frequenting a source beyond normal crafting. Zommoros's Mystic Forge, in Lion's Arch. The djinn's forge is an artifact of many mysteries and will serve to transmute your offerings.
- Interesting. I have another question.
- Thanks, that clears it up for me.
- I'm just browsing, thanks.
