Heres a breakdown of everything you need to know: What Makes Legendary Weapons Special? Stat Swapping: Change stats anytime out of combat (no cost). Unique Visuals: Glowing effects, animations, and footfalls. Shared Across Characters: Unlocked account-wide in the Armory (since 2021). Prestige: Requires significant time, gold, and effort to craft. Types of Legendary Weapons A. First Generation (Gen 1) 16 weapons, tied to Core Tyria (e.g., Twilight, Bolt, The Predator). How to Obtain: - Crafted via Mystic Forge (Precursor + Gift of Legendary Weapon + Gift of Mastery + Gift of Fortune). - Buy from the Trading Post (expensive, but skips crafting). B. Second Generation (Gen 2) 16 weapons, tied to Heart of Thorns (HoT) and Path of Fire (PoF). - HoT Set: Requires HoT (e.g., Nevermore, HOPE, Astralaria). - PoF Set: Requires PoF (e.g., Xiuquatl, The Binding of Ipos). How to Obtain: - Collections + crafting (more complex than Gen 1). - Some precursors are account-bound (must be earned). C. Third Generation (Gen 3) 16 weapons, tied to End of Dragons (EoD). - Aurene Variants: Base skins themed after Elder Dragons (e.g., Aurenes Fang). - Variant Skins: Unlockable alternate versions (e.g., Zhaitans Claw). How to Obtain: - Requires Antique Summoning Stones (from EoD metas/strikes). - More accessible than Gen 1/2 but still costly. D. PvP/WvW Legendaries Conflux (WvW ring), Warbringer (WvW backpack), PvP Ascension (backpiece). - Require Skirmish Tickets and WvW/PvP grinding. Crafting Requirements (General) Precursor Weapon: Core component (craft or buy). Gift of Fortune: 77 Mystic Clovers + other materials. Gift of Mastery: Map completion + Bloodstone Shard. Weapon-Specific Gifts: E.g., Gift of Twilight for Twilight. Gen 2/3: Additional collections and map currencies. Legendary Armory Introduced in 2021, the Armory lets you share Legendaries across all characters. Equip the same weapon on multiple characters simultaneously. Best Ways to Farm Legendaries Gold: Meta events (Drizzlewood, Silverwastes), fractals, trading. Materials: HoT/PoF/EoD metas for currencies. Clovers: Fractals, WvW/PvP reward tracks, Mystic Forge. Time-Gated: Craft daily materials (e.g., Deldrimor Steel). Most Popular Legendaries Greatswords: Twilight, Sunrise, Eternity (Gen 1), Aurenes Weight (Gen 3). Staff: Nevermore (Gen 2), Aurenes Wing (Gen 3). Pistol: HOPE (Gen 2), Exordium (Gen 2, transforms!). Tips for New Players Start with Gen 1 (easier to buy/craft). Use GW2Efficiency to track progress.
