How to make WvW Legendary Armor

WvW Legendary Armor

Introduction

Acquiring WvW legendary armor can be a much more relaxed experience than the Raid and PvP alternatives since it is largely gained passively and doesn't require high intensity or personal skill. This does result in a fairly lengthy timegate (20 weeks), but can be sped up through active play around objectives.

This guide lists the requirements for a full set of legendary armor, but you can also craft each piece individually. In that case, just divide all of the requirements by 6. Keep in mind that the WvW Skirmish Claim Ticket WvW Skirmish Claim Ticket values are slightly different depending on which armor piece you're crafting.

There are two versions of WvW legendary armor. For basic legendary functionality you only need the Triumphant Hero's Armor, but there is also the Mistforged Triumphant Hero's Armor which has some extra effects on the armor skin along with some additional requirements and costs to acquire it. The difference is entirely visual, functionality is unchanged.


Crafting Materials

Like other legendaries, there are both tradeable and untradeable materials needed to craft the armor. The main timegate in the grind is WvW Skirmish Claim Ticket WvW Skirmish Claim Ticket ("Tickets"). Many of the requirements will completely or partially be obtained during the grind for tickets. The following list shows every item needed to craft legendary armor and is color coded as follows:

  • Red: Not obtained during ticket grind
  • Yellow: Partially obtained during ticket grind
  • Green: Entirely obtained during ticket grind
