Guide:How to make WvW Legendary Armor

Introduction

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 Ticket values are slightly different depending on which armor piece you're crafting.

Timegate: 20 weeks without events

There are two versions of WvW legendary armor. The base version is the Triumphant Hero's Armor and the more expensive version that requires WvW rank 500 is the Mistforged Triumphant Hero's Armor. The Mistforged version has a slight blue glow effect on the armor as well as a graphical effect specifically on the chestpiece, but stats are identical between the two.

Precursor

Getting the precursor for WvW legendary armor can be confusing due to three similarly named sets that are all involved in the process. To break it down you'll need to get the Triumphant Armor set and your choice of either the Triumphant Hero's Armor or the Mistforged Triumphant Hero's Armor

To start out you'll need to finish the Triumphant Armor Reward track once for each armor piece you want to unlock. Refer to the guide to rewards for information on speeding up reward track completion.

Next you need to purchase the Triumphant Hero's ascended armor from the Skirmish Supervisor. Make sure to buy the ascended version, since exotic can't be used as a precursor.

You can craft your legendary armor with the Triumphant Hero's armor, but if you want the extra armor skins you can also unlock the Mistforged Triumphant Hero's armor from the Skirmish Supervisor and use those to craft legendary armor. Keep in mind that the chest is "Sublime Triumphant Hero's" instead of Mistforged.
