Legendary armor

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

Legendary armors are sets of armor of HLegendary rarity. Like all legendary equipment, it is able to select any attribute combination available and can be changed at any time while out of combat. Additionally, it is possible to swap out any slotted upgrade component (runes and infusions) that has been placed in them at no cost (swapped out items are returned to your inventory).

Since the addition of the Legendary Armory on July 13, 2021, legendary armor can be transmuted freely, no longer consuming transmutation charges, and equipped across every level 80 character that can wear armor of that weight simultaneously. Appearance of the armor is retained and specific per equipment set and individual character. So for example, character A with a legendary chestpiece can have appearance 1 for equipment set 1, appearance 2 for equipment set 2, and character B can have appearance 3 for equipment set 1, and so on.

There is currently one set of each weight for each game mode.

A piece of either Ardent Glorious armor Glorious Hero's armor Mistforged Glorious Hero's armor	Ascended Armor League Vendor Glorious Victor's Armor Box, received for placing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in Kormir's Clash - the monthly Automated Tournament

It takes 300  to obtain a full set of Legendary PvP armor. With the season cap of 100 , this will take 3 seasons of reaching the season cap. It takes 3,600  to obtain a full set of Legendary PvP armor: 2,400  for the   Star of Glory and 1,200  for the full Ascended Glorious armor set.

Players may earn the necessary 300  and 3,600  over any number of PvP seasons they wish, but there are three recommended routes for acquiring these currencies:

• 6330 PvP pips earned over 3 seasons: To finish as fast as possible, the player must complete 3 seasons of the non-repeatable PvP League reward chests. At any time during these 3 seasons, they must also complete the final repeatable Byzantium reward chest 24 times to accumulate the rest of the required.
  • This path requires the most PvP games to be played, because the higher tiered reward chests that are repeated via this pathway provide less per pip than the lower tiered ones, which can be repeated by playing over a greater number of seasons.
• 6030 PvP pips earned over 9 seasons: To finish without completing the repeatable Byzantium reward chest at all, the player must complete all of the non-repeatable PvP League reward chests 9 times.
• 5440 PvP pips earned over 16 seasons: To finish with the fewest number of PvP games played, the player must not complete all of the non-repeatable PvP League reward chests in a single season. Instead, they should stop each season after completing the Persimmon chest. This is because the lower tiers of reward chest provide more per pip earned than the higher tiers.

Note: With the introduction of mini-seasons, total farming time may vary. Mini-season repeatable chests require more pips per rewarded, but mini-season games also finish faster in real time. The total time required to play Ranked PvP is probably very similar whether you are playing mini-seasons or regular seasons.

To calculate the number of PvP games required to earn the PvP pips above, players can use this formula: (Number of PvP games required) = (Number of PvP pips required) / [A + (7 x B) + C + (2 x D) + 3]

A = 4 if you are in Legendary rank, 2 if you are in Platinum rank, or 0 if you are in any other rank.

B = Your win rate. A 60% win rate is 0.60 in this formula.

C = Your top stats rate. If you get a top stats reward in 75% of games, this number is 0.75.

D = Your near victory rate. If 3% of your games are a near victory that awards bonus pips, then this number is 0.03.

Players can make a copy of this Google Sheet and insert their own personalized data to see an estimate of PvP games and hours required to acquire the pips above.

WvW armor set

Armor: Triumphant Hero's armor, Mistforged Triumphant Hero's armor

This legendary armor retains the default visual look of the Ascended World versus World armors, and does not unlock new skins when upgraded into Legendary armor.
