Legendary armor

This article is about legendary armor. For the achievement category, see Legendary Armor. For the armor set, see Perfected Envoy armor.

Legendary armors are sets of armor of HLegendary rarity.

Acquisition of the PvE sets with their unique skins is linked to raids; they require collection of Legendary Insights gathered weekly from defeated raid bosses, as well as obtaining various items from raid encounters for  Legendary Armor achievements.

Legendary armor was implemented with Living World Season 3 Episode 5 "Flashpoint" on May 2nd, 2017, with the Perfected Envoy armor sets made available for acquisition. There are no plans to release another set in the future.

Legendary armor was introduced to PvP and WvW with the August 8th, 2017 balance patch. Since this is an upgrade, the stat-swappable armor does not include a new unique skin, but is instead the same skin as the ascended piece that was upgraded.

Legendary armor is the only tier of armor that allows runes to be swapped without destroying the current rune. The swapped rune appears in the player's inventory.
