Obsidian armor

Obsidian armor is legendary armor set exclusive to the Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure expansion. The third major update will contain a 'Tier 2' of the armor, which will be similar to the Generation 3 Legendary Weapon Variants "though not a strictly 1:1 comparison". It will have combat effects.

Acquisition

• Once   Obsidian Armor Crafting is mastered Recipe: Legendary Obsidian Armor can be purchased from Lyhr for 50 .
• With the recipe learned the armor pieces can be crafted by a level 500 (depending on the armor weight) but only in The Wizard's Tower. Alternatively Lyhr can assist with the crafting for an additional cost of 10 Globs of Ectoplasm per piece.
• Crafting Obsidian Armor pieces requires unlocking respective Astral Ward and Oneiros-Spun armor skins (e.g. shoulders). This generates additional cost in terms of Amalgamated Kryptis Essences and various other materials, but doesn't need to be repeated when crafting other armor weights.

Notes

• Although a Purified Kryptis Essence is listed in the A Legendary Path: Astral Gifts achievement, it is not required as a direct ingredient. Instead, it is indirectly required to obtain the Arcanum since it is needed to purchase the respective Astral Ward armor and Oneiros-Spun armor pieces.
• Unlike every other Legendary equipment, the final recipe is a regular Crafting recipe that uses either Armorsmith for the Heavy set, Leatherworker for the Medium set or Tailor for the Light set with the respective discipline at 500, instead of a Mystic Forge recipe. If you don't have any crafting discipline, once you've purchased the recipe from Lyhr, you can buy the armor pieces from Lyhr with an added cost of 10 Globs of Ectoplasm per armor piece.
