Obtaining Legendary Items — Guides
In this guide you will find the listings and methods of obtaining all the usable legendary items in the game.
Some items are from the old days of the world, whose wielders once received endless praise and compliments for having obtained such an item and accomplished so vast a feat as to be deserving of the praise. These items once set a milestone in the raiding achievements of the past, and memories cling to them…
Some items are more recent and still require great lengths from multiple people to obtain, yet still maintain that power to provoke an envious gaze from a bystander as their peering gaze sweeps across their inspection pane…
Some items are still new and fresh in the minds of the populace, waiting to be obtained for the first time…
And some items just don’t exist for players at all and aren’t included.
Perhaps you want to relive a piece of the precious past you missed by obtaining something from the Vanilla age. ..
Perhaps you want to betray the Betrayer and steal his glaives for your own…
Perhaps you want to wield a titanic hammer once shattered into pieces but reforged by the very maw of an old god…
Perhaps you want to bond with a dragon and carry a staff of duplicative magics…
Perhaps you just like the color orange and you want some of it in your bags…
Whatever case you happen to fall into, this guide will show you the fastest and simplest way to obtain the item(s) of your choice.
If you aren’t interested in the acquisition of a particular item, perhaps consider checking out its history and lore in a guide about legendary items written by Wowhead

Introduction
Welcome to our guide to crafting Legendary Armor in the
Shadowlands. All classes in the new expansion
will get access to a vast array of Legendary Powers that you gradually unlock
one by one, but you can only have 1 equipped at a time.
You can find out more about Legendary Powers in our separate guide.
Legendary Powers Guide
In the individual sections of the
guide, we explain how to unlock Runecarving, forge Legendary Items, upgrade them,
and go through restrictions of the system.
8.
The Runecarver
The Runecarver is a mysterious figure locked away in the very depths of
Torghast. You must first unlock Torghast and complete a short
quest in The Maw to unlock the Runecarver. Once unlocked, you
will be able to call on the power of the Runecarver to carve ancient runes
on your armor and imbue it with Legendary powers.
You must complete the Deep Within, Ashes of the Tower,
and The Final Pieces quests to unlock the
Runecarver in Shadowlands.
- Deep Within requires you to simply talk to the Runecarver.
- To complete Ashes of the Tower, you must collect 1,250 Soul Ash in
Torghast. - To finish The Final Pieces, you must acquire a Runecarver Memory, an
Armor Rune Vessel suitable to your class, and 2 different Missives. - Reawakening (Optional Quest) requires you to go to the Maw,
kill a creature and recover a Runecarver’s memory. The quest is not mandatory
and if you collect a memory from elsewhere, you will be able to start
crafting and upgrading Legendary Armor just by completing The Final Pieces.
9.
Where Do I Find the Runecarver?
Enter Torghast at Ve’nari’s Refuge in the Maw. The portal
is located at the far back of the area.
The Portal to the Runecarver’s Oubliette is located to the right as
you enter the Torghast Antechamber.
Here is the map of the Runecarver’s Oubliette. You must visit the area
anytime you want to craft Legendary Armor.
You can return back to the Torghast Antechamber through the exit portal.
10.
Crafting Legendary Armor
You need to gather a few materials first, before you can craft your
Legendary:
- A Base Item.
These items are created by Blacksmiths, Jewelcrafters,
Leatherworkers, and Tailors, and serve as the vessel for Legendary
Powers. They are not soulbound, and can be acquired from other
players, alts, or bought in the Auction House. There is no requirement that a
character has to have a crafting profession to make Legendary Armor. Crafting
Legendaries is open to all players as long as you have collected all the
necessary reagents. - The Legendary Power of your
choosing. You must collect the recipe first. - Two Missives that dictate the secondary stats (Critical Strike, Haste,
Mastery, and Versatility) of the crafted Legendary. - Soul Ash. This is a new currency found in Torghast that
you receive from completing the Twisting Corridors intro questline
and various Layers of the two Torghast wings that are active each week. - Soul Cinders. A new
currency introduced in Patch 9.1 that comes from the new layers. - Cosmic Flux. A new Patch 9.2 currency used to upgrade
existing Legendary items to Rank 7.
You can get it by participating in a variety of Season 3 content.
The crafted Legendary Armor piece will have fixed Primary stats
(Intellect, Agility, Stamina, and Strength), based on your class/specialization.
10.1.
Base Items
Base Items are blank armor templates to which you can add Legendary Powers
through Runecarving.
Blacksmiths, Jewelcrafters, Leatherworkers, and Tailors can create Base
Items for the following armor slots — Head, Shoulder, Back, Chest
Wrist, Hands, Waist, Legs, Feet.
Base Items have 4 Ranks. The higher their Item Level, the better stats the
Legendary Armor piece will have. You can use
Vestige of Origins to upgrade
Legendary Armor pieces to Rank 6 in Patch 9.1.
Vestige of the Eternal can be used to upgrade Legendary Armor pieces
by 3 ranks in Patch 9. 2.
For more information about Base Items, please refer to our Base Items Guide.
Base Items Guide
10.2.
Legendary Powers
You will be able to acquire Legendary Power recipes from various sources
in Shadowlands. You can find more information in our Legendary Powers
guide.
Legendary Powers Guide
10.3.
Missives
To select specific secondary stats of the crafted Legendary, you will need
the following Missives created by Scribes:
- Missive of Critical Strike — Ensures that the crafted weapon or
piece of armor will increase the wearer’s Critical Strike. - Missive of Haste — Ensures that the crafted weapon or piece
of armor will increase the wearer’s Haste. - Missive of Mastery — Ensures that the crafted weapon or
piece of armor will increase the wearer’s Mastery. - Missive of Versatility — Ensures that the crafted weapon
or piece of armor will increase the wearer’s Versatility.
10.4.
Soul Ash
The Torghast currency acts as a fuel for crafting Legendary Armor.
You can obtain Soul Ash from the Twisting Corridors intro questline,
from the available 12 Torghast layers,
Covenant Adventures, and more.
There is no catch-up system implemented for Soul Ash, so make sure to
complete your weekly goals
to maximize your Soul Ash gains.
You will find exactly how much Soul Ash you will receive from all the
different layers on our page linked below.
Soul Ash Drop Amounts
10.5.
Soul Cinders
Soul Cinders is a new Torghast currency obtained from
Layers 9-12, used to upgrade
Legendary Armor pieces to Rank 5 and 6 in Patch 9.1.
The exact amount of Soul Ash you receive for clearing
the new wings is explained on a separate page.
Soul Cinders Drop Amounts
You can read more about where to obtain Soul Cinders in our separate guide.
How to Farm Soul Cinders in Patch 9.2
10.6.
Cosmic Flux
Cosmic Flux is a new currency obtained from Season 3 content. It drops from
Zereth Mortis rares, quests, you can get it by clearing
Torghast Layers 13-16 or the new Jailer’s Gauntlet
boss-rush mode, PvP, dungeons, and more. The currency is important for
upgrading Legendary items to Rank
7 or crafting brand new Legendaries.
How to Farm Cosmic Flux in Patch 9.2
11.
Legendary Item Material Costs
Crafting Legendary Armor pieces at higher ranks or upgrading them progressively
costs more Soul Ash, up to Rank 4. At Rank 5 and 6, you will also need
Soul Cinders
in addition to just Soul Ash.
- Rank 1 costs 1,250 Soul Ash.
- Rank 2 costs 2,000 Soul Ash.
- Rank 3 costs 3,200 Soul Ash.
- Rank 4 costs 5,150 Soul Ash.
- Rank 5 upgrade costs 5,150 Soul Ash and 1,100 Soul Cinders.
- Rank 6 upgrade costs 5,150 Soul Ash and 1,650 Soul Cinders.
- Rank 7 upgrade costs 2,000 Cosmic Flux.
12.
Upgrading Legendary Items
You can further upgrade existing Legendary Armor at the Runecarver or
craft higher ranks directly. Once upgraded, your Legendary item will have better
stats, but the Legendary Power effects will not change. It is important to note
that you can skip ranks, meaning you can go from Rank 1 to 4.
13.
Legendary Item Upgrade Costs
You need three things to upgrade a Legendary item:
- A higher rank Base Item;
- The existing Legendary item you want to upgrade;
- Additional Soul Ash from Torghast, based on the rank of
your current item and the upgrade. Upgrading from a lower rank will give you
a discount on the upgrade, but will still cost the same amount of Soul Ash.
For example, if you are upgrading from Rank 3 to 4, you already spent 3,200 Soul
Ash crafting the Rank 3 Legendary, so the upgrade will only cost 1,950 Soul Ash.
Legendary Items have 6 ranks in Patch 9. 1:
- Rank 1: Item Level 190;
- Rank 2: Item Level 210;
- Rank 3: Item Level 225;
- Rank 4: Item Level 235;
- Rank 5: Item Level 249;
- Rank 6: Item Level 262;
- Rank 7: Item Level 291.
14.
Legendary Items and Sockets
All newly-crafted Helm, Neck, Bracer, Belt and Ring Runecarving armor pieces
in Patch 9.1 come with an empty socket.
Upgrading a Legendary item does not remove the socket.
15.
Legendary Item Scrapping
In Patch 9.2, you can talk to the Runecarver, who now has a refund
option, allowing you to scrap an existing Legendary item, refunding you with
all the Soul Ash, Soul Cinders, and Cosmic Flux you
spent to craft it.
16.
Restrictions
This section contains restrictions that apply to Legendary Armor.
- Base Items do not exist for the Weapon, Off-Hand, and Trinket slots.
- You can only wear one Legendary Armor piece at a time.
17.
Best Legendary Powers for Each Spec

best Legendary Powers for your spec, so you know what to apply
to your Legendary items. To help you with that, we have a Best Legendaries
guide for all of the specs:

Chapter 153 Legendary Item | Strongest Sword God Reincarnation
After attracting Faust’s attention, Shi Feng had only to deal damage to the Golden Fish.
At present, a level 20 Goldfish is swimming in a silver river suspended in the air. The river was 25-30 meters from the ground, making it impossible for any regular melee class to attack the Goldfish. In addition, the Goldfish was hard as a diamond, and it was almost impossible for players under level 20 to deal more than 100 points of damage with a single attack. nine0003
The Golden Fish also had a very high magic resistance: it reduced the received magic damage by 40%. In addition, the Goldfish moved very fast, hence it was difficult to hit it.
As a result, there were many players who, despite finding the Star River Valley, did not win anything.
God Realm was different from other VR games in that there were many random encounters available. These encounters could make a player famous overnight, and Shi Feng had seen many such examples before. nine0003
However, although many random encounters were available in the God Realm, this did not necessarily guarantee a harvest. Whether or not you benefit from such an encounter depends entirely on your ability.
«Blackie, Lonely, take this.» Shi Feng took out two Frost Grenades from his bag.
Previously, he used a lot of Frost Garnet to get the Blue Blue Devil Flame. Now he had less than twenty left, and they were not enough to deal with all the Golden Fish. nine0003
“Wow! And these are not too powerful Frost Grenades? If we could use them without limit, then our leveling up rate would go insane! ‘ Blackie said in shock.
Just imagine, if they used those Frost Grenades to destroy level 30 monsters… They could level up every minute! And then what can the Union Military do against them? Just one level suppression would be enough to destroy them.
“It would be great if we could still get them. In the future, if we get surrounded by PKs, we won’t have to use a single skill to deal with them. One dozen of these Frost Garnets will be enough. However, given such good effects, I dare to suggest that these items must be extremely rare and precious,» lamented Lone Snow.
«Exactly. Not to mention the fight against PK, a few of these things will be a good guarantee of life. The longer Blackie looked at the Frost Grenade, the more he realized that he could not part with it. This item could save his life.
B Shi Feng only smiled as he took out another Frost Grenade for himself and said, «Stop talking. In a moment, I’ll count to three and we’ll all throw our Frost Grenade at the Goldfish together. »
It was evident from Blackie and Lone Snow that they did not want to do this. nine0003
“Brother Feng, it’s too wasteful to use Frost Grenade to fight Goldfish. They have 100,000 HP each. 200 points of Frost Grenade damage won’t make any difference. What’s more, at the crucial moment, these items could be saving our lives! »
«That’s right, Leader!»
Blacky and Lone Snow both tried to dissuade Shi Feng
Shi Feng had no words
Previously, he used these Frost Grenades to get to level 8.
«Just listen to me! I have a lot of them. Later I will I will give each group member 30 of these Frost Garnets,” Shi Feng said with a laugh. nine0003
At first, Blackie and Lone Snow thought they had misheard. The Frost Grenade was such a precious item, but in the future, Shi Feng planned to give everyone 30 of these? It’s just crazy! If they meet the Martial Union bastards in the future, they won’t stand a chance.
They decided to obey Shi Feng’s command, and started throwing their Frost Grenades at the Golden Fish.
Boom! Frost Grenades started to explode. Even though Golden Fish was able to dodge, the explosion radius was extremely wide. Some Golden Fish that didn’t have time to escape immediately froze, and more than 100 points of damage appeared above them. nine0003
Faust, sitting in the air, was stroking his white beard. He nodded his head and said, “Not bad. You guys seem to have some ability.»
“Dear Lord Faust, we are here catching Golden Fish to cook. We hope that our cruel actions did not disturb you,” Shi Feng said politely.
“Huh? I didn’t think you guys would be interested in cooking this Golden Fish.» Faust’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard the word «cook». “Since you guys want to catch a Goldfish, I wonder if you can help me catch a few alive? I’m too strong, and if I’m not careful, I can easily kill them. This dilemma left me with no choice but to fish slowly.” nine0003
“Umm…” Shi Feng began hesitantly.
«Relax; I won’t deceive you. If you catch enough Golden Fish, I’ll give you some items in exchange. What about that?» Faust casually waved his hand, and immediately dozens of objects appeared in the air.
Each of these items was extremely valuable. In addition, besides the description of the item, the amount of Golden Fish needed to exchange for this item was also shown.
“Brother Feng, look! These are Level 15 Silver Secret Items! Here! This is a Mysterious Iron Grade Robe! Wow! And this is a fine gold rank wrist armor!” At the sight of these objects, Blackie began to salivate. nine0003
At the sight of a level 15 two-handed ax, Lone Snow’s eyes also shone. In addition, the Weapon Attributes were simply mind-blowing. If he gets this weapon, the Attack Power will increase several times. He will be able to get rid of the MT of the same level in 2-3 attacks.
However, among the many items, Shi Feng’s attention was drawn to an item with a faint orange glow. Such a glow was only inherent in items of the Legendary rank!
«Legend Grade Item?» Shi Feng was shocked. nine0003
Previously, he had only heard that players could get an epic item from Starriver Valley. Shi Feng even had some doubts about the reliability of the information. However, it now turned out that the information was indeed true.
The rarity of an item of Legendary rank was several dozen times greater than that of an item of Epic rank. If there is already a Legend rank item among the rewards, it would not be surprising if there was an Epic rank item as well.
In Shi Feng’s previous life, even after he reached level 200 and became the King of Swords, he didn’t have a single Legend rank item. Such an object was only an object of dreams. Only very few rank 4 experts possessed one or two Legend rank items. nine0003
Meanwhile, the skill of such players was not weaker than the skill of level 5 players who did not have any legendary items. The usefulness of a Legend rank item was obvious.
Shi Feng did not think that in this life he would see such an object with his own eyes.
