Revision as of 02:47, 22 July 2021
Legendary quality is the second highest level of item quality available to players, above Epic. It usually takes multiple end-game raid instance runs to acquire or craft these items. Legendary items are considered the most powerful items available to players. The names of legendary-quality items will appear in orange. There is also a higher category of items called Artifact that was introduced in Legion.
For the list of legendary items, see Legendary items.
Legion
"Legion Legendaries" are a large number of items that are below normal legendaries in rarity, but still very powerful. At the beginning of World of Warcraft: Legion, players were only able to equip one Legion Legendary item at a time. As the expansion progressed, the number of legendaries that could be equipped at once was increased to two.[1]
Legendary items can come from world quest caches, dungeon bosses, raid bosses, PvP strongboxes,[2] world bosses and Mythic+ weekly caches.[3]
As of the Battle for Azeroth pre-patch, Legion legendaries can be purchased from Arcanomancer Vridiel at Tanks for Everything in the Dalaran above the Broken Isles.[4] Most sources of Artifact Power will instead give 
[Wakening Essence] to help in the effort to purchase these items.
Shadowlands
Legendaries are back for Shadowlands but instead of being drops, they are craftable through the Runecarver's Oubliette and Domination Armor.
Trivia
- Prior to Legion, nearly all equippable legendary items were weapons. Most others were components used to create these weapons. One, the
[Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal], is a mount. With the exception of those in The Burning Crusade, all of the legendary items required a complicated and arduous questline in order to get them. - When patch 1.4.0 was released, a bug granted players access to an NPC who gave away legendary items. This was hotfixed a day later and the items, with the exception of the
[Bindings of the Windseeker], were removed from players' inventories.[5] - Equippable items of legendary quality always have one or more attribute bonuses or procs.
- Equippable items at legendary quality can't be disenchanted by characters with the Enchanting profession.
- The hexadecimal color code for legendary itemlinks is #ff8000.
Patch changes
- Patch 8.3.0 (2020-01-14): Most legendaries are now transmogrifiable.
