Introduction

In this step-by-step guide you'll learn how to craft Transcendence, the Legendary PvP Amulet. Being one of the only 2 Legendaries for its particular slot makes Transcendence special.

While sPvP uses a different stat template and legendary armor is not helping you out in any way there, it's immensely useful for every other area of the game. Legendary armor incentivizes PvE/WvW players to try their luck in PvP while also making it easier for PvP players to jump straight into any other area of the game.

Legendaries are convenience items first and foremost. They're stored in your account storage shared across all characters. Their stats can be changed for free any time out of combat and upgrades can be removed with a simple click.

Always finish gathering everything in a given step before moving on to the next one! The guide is structured in a way that you'll hardly ever have to go to the same NPC or location twice if you follow the steps in the correct order. Each step also assumes that you have the necessary materials from the previous step.


WORK IN PROGRESS


Step 1: Accountbound Materials

The first thing you have to do is get the following accountbound materials and PvP currencies:

  • (4) - comes from the final reward chest of the Glorious Reward Track. Completing this track twice should be enough as you can get 2 fragments from one chest if you opt for the 2nd fragment instead of the Exotic armor.
  • PvP League Ticket PvP League Ticket (75) - final reward of every non-repeatable League Reward Chest, earned through playing ranked games. This is limited to 100 per season, but with 75 we're well within that limit.
  • Ascended Shard of Glory Ascended Shard of Glory (1075) - final reward of every League Reward Chest, earned through playing ranked games. If you already have a then you're only going to need 900. Farming these might take more than one season.
  • (100) - found in every PvP Reward Tracks as well as some WvW Reward Tracks and Large Rank-Up Chests you get from increasing your PvP rank.
  • - achievement reward for winning 120 ranked games during Conquest seasons. Doesn't have the be done in one season.


Universal currencies that are not strictly tied to PvP but can be acquired there too:

  • (140) - found in Rank-Up Chests and most loot boxes that come from PvP Reward Tracks. Alternatively use on a level 80 character to earn shards instead of levels. 100+40 for the 2 Augur's stones.
  • (77) - contained in the final reward chest of many reward tracks, especially non-repeatable ones.
  • (between 0 and 60) - used in crafting Bloodstone Bricks, Dragonite Ingots and Empyreal Stars. If you already have them gathering dust in your material storage then you won't need any shards.
  • (10) - crafted from 1000 .
  • (10) - crafted from 1000 .
  • (10) - crafted from 1000 .
  • (10) - chance to be salvaged from Exotic gear level 68 or higher.
  • (1) - guaranteed drop from salvaging Ascended Armor and Weapons using an , random drop from salvaging other Ascended gear. You can buy the tool from the Laurel merchant in Heart of the Mists.


Honorable mentions:

  • (2420, or 2250 if you already own a Mist Pendant) - while not accountbound it's still a PvP currency, and you'll need to grab them before proceeding to the next step of the guide. Could be bought from the Trading Post or earned via PvP Reward Tracks and daily achievements.
  • (250)
  • - WvW reward track reward.
