Legendary Armory

“

Items unlocked in your Legendary Armory are available for all of your characters. They can be found in the Equipment tab of your Hero panel, alongside all of your other equipment.

— In-game description

As shown in preview (legendary items appear above any other available items within the equipment panel, on a separate row with a gold corner)

The Legendary Armory is a feature that allows equipping legendary items simultaneously on all characters on the account. Visually, the Legendary Armory is contained within the Equipment Tab of the Hero panel and has no separate user interface. Legendary items appear at the top of the equipment selection panel on the left, and gain a gold top-left corner overlay with a chain link symbol 🔗.

Legendary Armory allows storing legendary equipment configurations and appearance individually per each equipment template and character. Only level 80 characters have access to items in the Armory. Additionally, characters can only view and equip legendary armor and weapons their profession has access to.

Logging into a character on July 13, 2021 or later automatically converts any account-bound legendary equipment in the characters' inventories, equipment panels, and account bank to the Legendary Armory, summed up by 'Legendary Equipment Unlocked!'. Any newly crafted legendary items are added to the Legendary Armory automatically upon binding them to the account.

Adding items to the Legendary Armory

• Unbound legendaries remain in your inventory.
• If you own bound copies of Sunrise or Twilight, the greatswords are added to your Legendary Armory and you receive Memory of Sunrise and Memory of Twilight to use in crafting Eternity (an Eternity produced using tokens is account-bound).
  • If you own Eternity, you receive both Sunrise and Twilight for your armory.
• Each piece of equipment is treated as a unique item.
  • If you want to customize an equipment template by equipping the legendary sword Bolt in two weapon slots, you need to obtain and bind two copies of Bolt.
  • The maximum number of copies of an item your Legendary Armory can hold is determined by how many equipment slots it can occupy.
    • This limit exists so you don’t have to worry about accidentally unlocking more copies of a specific legendary than you can equip.
    • Since no character can ever equip more than four swords at once, your Legendary Armory holds a maximum of four copies of each legendary sword.
    • An equipment template only has space for two staves, so your Legendary Armory holds a maximum of two copies of each legendary staff.

Equipping items

• Once a legendary item is stored in your Legendary Armory, every level 80 character on your account can use it, provided it’s available to their profession and elite specialization
• You can equip items from your Legendary Armory by double-clicking them or clicking and dragging them onto a slot.
• Right-clicking an equipment slot will bring up a convenient dropdown menu, which you can use to equip your available legendary items, equip a non-legendary item from your inventory or regular armory, customize your equipped legendary item, or copy an equipped item and its customizations to your other equipment templates.
• Once you’ve equipped a legendary item to multiple equipment templates, you can set different attributes, upgrade selections, and skins for each one.
• Whenever legendary item is unequipped from a character, the stats on it are reset and the upgrades removed to inventory. If the inventory is full, it will encumber the player.

Additional mechanics

• Free Legendary Transmutation — Changing the appearance of your legendary equipment no longer requires transmutation charges.
• Equipment and Build Templates at Hand — Click the arrow above your weapon swap toggle to quickly swap to any of your equipment and build templates.
• Binding a legendary to your account offers a little more fanfare—and some hints about your item’s nature, origin, or previous owners.
• Legendary trinkets that are available with and without visual effects, like Conflux and Transcendence, feature a visibility toggle for their effects.
• Slotted upgrades and infusion — Upgrades and infusions in equipped gear and equipment templates remain in place. For items in your bank, shared and regular inventory, infusions and upgrades will be popped out to your inventory.
• Slumbering Trinkets — Players are not able to acquire new slumbering trinkets after July 13 release and any existing slumbering trinkets will not be absorbed into the Legendary Armory. The recipes for slumbering trinkets will instead reward the awakened trinket. Existing slumbering trinkets can be exchanged for the awakened version at Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs in Lion's Arch.
• Gen 2 Precursor Crafting Limits — Players are able to craft additional copies of Generation 2 legendaries.

Armory item limits

Legendary armory text in the item description.

Each item of legendary equipment added to the armory has its own upper limits on how many can be added:

• Two-handed weapons such as Twilight, Main hand weapons such as Meteorlogicus, and Off-hand weapons such as The Flameseeker Prophecies have an upper limit of 2.
• As of Janthir Wilds, spears such as Kamohoali'i Kotaki and the yet unnamed new legendary spear have an upper limit of 4 as both two-handed and aquatic weapons.
• Weapons that can be used in main-hand and off-hand such as Bolt have an upper limit of 4.
• Every armor from every game mode and for every weight class can be crafted an unlimited number of times. However the Legendary armory has a limited number of slots per item. Any crafts beyond that are wasted and serve no purpose, giving the armor pieces 1 on their upper limit.
• The same applies to Back Items, Rings, Amulets, Accessories and Relics which each have an upper limit of 1.
  • The only exception to this is the Conflux ring that has upper limit of 2.
• Lastly we have upgrade components. Runes have an upper limit of 7 and Sigils have the highest upper limit of 8.

Weapons

Item	Type	Lore
Generation 1
Frostfang	Axe	Hlif traveled to the Far Shiverpeaks to challenge Jormag. Near death, she took one last swing at her foe before falling unconscious. She awoke the next morning—her axe encased in an icy dragon's head.
Incinerator	Dagger	"I know this isn't the path you'd have chosen for yourself — but the Flame Legion isn't just your home now; It is my gift to you. Keep this dagger close and never forget who you are: Nonius Ragesinger."
The Moot	Mace	Dare this historian say, the Moot should only be brandished by the most charismatic of warriors. When drawn, your foe may be blinded by its grandiose display of light and splendor.
Quip	Pistol	The most renowned thief in Kryta had a couple of calling cards—drove the Lionguard mad. She always left two things behind: a trail of confetti and a note that read "I can run faster than a centaur!"
Meteorlogicus	Scepter	Meteorlogicus was designed by a sylvari astrologer, Surya — a love letter to the sky. She once used the orrery to trace a thunderous cloud that lurked on the horizon. She knew then: a dragon had awoken.
Bolt	Sword	Interwoven with an impression of a dragon whose name Tyria has yet to learn, Bolt is imbued with the strength of a storm–swelling inside like a thunderous inferno, eager to aid its wielder in combat.
The Minstrel	Focus	The Minstrel is a bard's dearest companion, a vessel of their spirit and artistry. Delicate notes fade in the wielder's wake, leaving passersby with a gentle whisper of their vestige.
The Flameseeker Prophecies	Shield	"The Flameseeker Prophecies" is an ancient tome containing near-complete proclamations of the future as foreseen by the dragon Glint. The final chapter is intentionally left unwritten...
Rodgort	Torch	When Cutha woke, he was greeted by sounds of panic and flame. He ran to the window just in time to witness a dragon perch on a nearby rooftop. "Rodgort," they whispered. "Rodgort is my name."
Howler	Warhorn	A norn ballad recounts a quarrel between the Great Wolf and a serpent who sought to become a Spirit of the Wild: O little snake, do you have what it takes? Howl, howl—open the gate.
Sunrise	Greatsword	It is said that when Dwayna woke each morning, she gifted her followers with the warmth of dawn. All of the creatures in Tyria stirred from their slumber to witness the glorious sunrise.
Twilight	Greatsword	While the other gods slept, Grenth took up his throne—beckoning his companions to dance and howl beneath the stars. It was said that his powers were most potent when the moon was highest in the sky.
Eternity	Greatsword	Although the gods have abandoned Tyria, their gifts remain. The oceans and land. The verdant forests, the limitless cosmos beyond—the ultimate love letter to the living, but also a solemn good-bye.
The Juggernaut	Hammer	A relic dating back to the age of the Giganticus Lupicus, the Juggernaut may be a gift from the gods. When held by a worthy champion, they are cast in a solid sheet of quicksilver.
Kudzu	Longbow	When Secondborn Lonicera sacrificed herself to protect the Pale Tree, a small root sprung from the ground where she breathed her final breath. That root took the shape of a mighty bow.
The Predator	Rifle	Cast in the likeness of Forge Ironstrike, this rifle was crafted as a tribute to his battle against the Flame Imperator. When Kalla fell in the Plains of Golghein, Ironstrike silenced the traitor.
The Dreamer	Short bow	The Dreamer is as mystifying as it is perplexing, for such a creature doesn't exist within the known world. It is quite popular among the skritt, though, who idolize its colorful...prowess.
The Bifrost	Staff	Casters and archivists alike worship the iridescent glow that the Bifrost emits. Although the source of its magic is unknown, its luminous aura may hint of realms bygone—tucked away in the Mists.
Frenzy	Harpoon gun	Although the vast, impenetrable Unending Ocean has been left unexplored for a century past, fishermen lingering just outside the expanse often catch glimpses of something magnificent.
Kamohoali'i Kotaki	Spear	A historian once wrote of a great beast that lurked off the coast of Orr—possibly a living Champion of Zhaitan. Although she hasn't been seen for a century past, her kin still roam the dark waters.
Kraitkin	Trident	"I've studied the krait for some time, but never have I seen anything else quite like that. One of their shamans performed a ritual on one of their dead—undeniably dead—and it was living once again!"
Generation 2
Astralaria	Axe	Sunsmith Ouissal dreamed she gifted an exquisite axe to a woman with skin like the star-kissed sky above the Astralarium. She woke and ran to her workbench, a delighted laugh lingering in her memory.
Claw of the Khan-Ur	Dagger	This ancient charr relic has served as an apparatus of revolution, a key to power, and a symbol of stability. The Claw of the Khan-Ur is reforged with every great feat its wielders accomplish.
Eureka	Mace	Eureka was the pride and downfall of a rogue Priory research team who set out to reactivate obsidian shards sampled from ancient armor. Paired with magitech, the material assumed a deadlier form.
HOPE	Pistol	"Remember: the blue stuff is the Alchemical Catalyst, and the red stuff is the Transcendent Energy. Don't drink either of them. And whatever you do, don't drop this thing."
Xiuquatl	Scepter	Hylek of the Astrozintli Forelands revere the life serpent Xiuquatl. While it's too small and gentle to be their savior, those traits make it Tequatl's perfect opposite—and a potent symbol of hope.
The Shining Blade	Sword	To its namesake faction, the Shining Blade is more an old friend than an ancient Seer artifact. Its historical codenames include "the family heirloom," "that old thing," and "Gran's best knife."
The Binding of Ipos	Focus	The Binding of Ipos is as mystifying as it is venomous, dripping with ancient knowledge. Any warrior brave enough to carry this tome will be gifted with millennia of sinister magics.
Shooshadoo	Shield	The tiny quaggan Shooshadoo has made up their mind to follow in your footsteps as a champion of Tyria. You'll need to carry them until their stride is a bit longer.
Flames of War	Torch	In lieu of written records, some temples of Balthazar kept elaborate weapons depicting the rituals they were used in. Few survived Balthazar's fall, and many were immolated by his loyalist priests.
Verdarach	Warhorn	When Grenth's powers were raw and new, he crafted a weapon more sinister than he intended. Verdarach summons victims of horrific battles as vengeful wraiths, eager to conscript the newly slain.
Exordium	Greatsword	Explorers venture into the Mists, and sometimes the Mists venture back. Though far less sentient than the Mist-being Razah, Exordium takes some joy in adapting to its wielder's needs and expectations.
Sharur	Hammer	Sharur was retrieved from among the spectral weapons guarding the Source of Orr. Though its lingering corruption is aimless and benign, not even the Artesian Waters could fully cleanse it.
Pharus	Longbow	Scholars discovered Pharus in Siren's Reef.[sic] All attempts to store and catalog it have failed; if not carried by a hero, it reappears at Dwayna's Reliquary among the other artifacts.
The HMS Divinity	Rifle	As Zhaitan's influence grew, the Vigil raced to the site of Kryta's greatest maritime tragedy on an improbable mission. The HMS Divinity's long-dead crew—shackled to their ship as it sank—were all recovered.
Chuka and Champawat	Short bow	Thanks to their bond with you, someday Nola, Halkor, and Brill will be magnificent tigers, facing the world with dignity and wisdom. For now, their paws are far too big for them.
Nevermore	Staff	Nevermore is a living reminder that there's always a purpose to Raven's riddles and tests. When you're mired in despair, lost for answers, he pushes because he knows you can fly.
Generation 3
Aurene's Rending	Axe	Magic. Everywhere. Swirling and whispering, like a flock of birds dancing through the air. It settles at my feet. Dust, piling higher and higher like sand on a beach... Wake up, it says. Wake up.
Aurene's Claw	Dagger	The weight of the world, the balance of time and nature... All of it, sitting on my shoulders. It's heavy... Crippling, even. But there's something comforting, knowing that I can make a difference.
Aurene's Tail	Mace	The loneliness of this world is terrifying, empty... Who can I confide in now? Can anyone out there hear me...? Do you understand what it's like to hold such power?
Aurene's Argument	Pistol	Their mother kept her distance from the mortal realm, but I needed that connection—I yearned for it. Without my companions, would I feel the same need to protect this place?
Aurene's Wisdom	Scepter	My brother's duty and my mother's destiny wouldn't have existed without my grandfather's hunger. If that's so, isn't a prophecy just knowing what must be done and who should do it?
Aurene's Fang	Sword	I don't want to have a destiny. I want to eat half your food and go to sleep while you read, but if I act like a baby now everyone will remember later. Maybe Vlast was right and it's better if they think I'm angry.
Aurene's Gaze	Focus	I chirped at my companion—my "Champion." I could already feel something pulling us together, even back then. Or perhaps it was just a rumble of my belly, recently filled with fish.
Aurene's Scale	Shield	Taimi doesn't always understand me, but she helps other people understand me since she can hold a conversation with me by herself. Although...I wouldn't miss it if she stopped giving me a squeaky voice.
Aurene's Breath	Torch	Are people who already have too much power the only ones who want it? Why do they think they need more? This can't be fixed with weapons or magic, it's just...it's just adults panicking or having tantrums.
Aurene's Voice	Warhorn	You should never lose anything or anyone, ever again. The world should be like a beautiful garden and only grow around you forever. I know it can't happen that way, but I don't want to be what you lose next.
Aurene's Bite	Greatsword	His voice whispers at the back of my mind, his soul as ripe as it was in "life." He tells me things. About the Mists, about the Underworld... Terrifying, dark things.
Aurene's Weight	Hammer	Even inside the shell of my little egg, I could feel them—the stranger. Their soul smelled of pain and ached, but somehow I knew... I knew that I was safe in their care.
Aurene's Flight	Longbow	It wasn't painful, but it was dark. Darker than anything I've seen or felt before. Pulsing with unfamiliar magic... Malice, bleeding into my flesh. Caressing my mind like... Like...
Aurene's Persuasion	Rifle	When I was too little to fly, I dreamed of it. I still dreamed after he died, but the promise of endless freedom and joy wasn't real anymore. His heart and mind were tethered to the ground, and in the end his body joined them.
Aurene's Wing	Short bow	I can hear her. Her voice lingers at the edge of my mind like a memory I've long forgotten—the lightest touch. Bubbling beneath the ocean waves, deep below... Her voice, like a feather against my scales.
Aurene's Insight	Staff	You make me furious. If you had truly wanted anything but revenge, my champion could have helped you instead of killing you. You wouldn't have been alone. I wish I could have talked to you. I wish I believed it could have helped.

Notes

• Adding Sunrise or Twilight to your Legendary Armory will award you with a Memory of Sunrise or Memory of Twilight, both of which are used to create Eternity.
• It is technically possible to craft more than 1 of the legendary armor pieces by accident (for example 2 medium chest pieces or 2 heavy gloves). When this happens, the following message is displayed upon trying to destroy the extra copy of the legendary item:

You are about to permanently destroy Hitem, of which you have unlocked the maximum quantity for the Legendary Armory. Enter the item's name below to confirm before destroying. If this item is already bound to your account and you have not received a replacement box, please contact Customer Support.
