Guild Wars 2

It’s the new year and it seems like many people have decided they want to get themselves a Legendary. In this post I have compiled a list of the Legendaries with their costs, features and graphical effects. Information was taken from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/ and http://www.gw2legendary.com/. To be exact, descriptions are pretty much copy-pasted.

The format:

Name of Legendary / Cost of (non precursor) Components / Cost of Precursor
Type of weapon / Number of Infusion slots / Number of Sigil slots / Amount of Stats given
Graphical effects

Some weapons have 1(2) on their sigil slots based on hints that Anet will be adding a second sigil slot to 2 handed weapons.

The order is based on number of graphical effects, because why not, it’s not like I have some kind of hidden agenda or something…

The Minstrel 859 90
1 handed focus, 1 infusion, 1 sigil, half stats
* A purple aura and large musical notes and symbols float around the focus.

The Flameseeker Prophecies 965 389
1 handed shield, 1 infusion, 1 sigil, half stats
* When The Flameseeker Prophecies is wielded, the book on the front as well as much of the background glows blue.

The Dreamer 858 510
2 handed short bow, 2 infusions, 1 (2) sigils, full stats
* The Dreamer shoots unicorns with a rainbow mane. The design of the bow itself is an alicorn; it has wings on the top, a unicorn’s head in the middle, and a tail at the bottom. It also has flowing pastel pink and blue tassels on the top and bottom and makes horse neighing sounds when shot. Also, if you have The Dreamer in your hand when you get downed, the Throw Dirt animation will change from rocks to unicorns with a rainbow mane.
* After the Back to School update The Dreamer now has footprint effects that look like rainbow horseshoes.

Howler 916 235
1 handed warhorn, 1 infusion, 1 sigil, half stats
* The user’s body is coated in a fog aura.

* With each horn skill, the wolf’s head howls and makes a faint howling sound. A moon also illuminates in the crescent of the horn, and sparkles appear around it. At nighttime, the moon and sparkles will appear by default, but certain skills will cause them to disappear, whereas other horn skills will cause these effects to loop infinitely (until use of another skill or when Howler is sheathed).
* A ghostly wolf head appears for a brief second upon blowing on the horn.

Juggernaut 1385 575

^ Nicely done. Can’t wait for the new Legendaries Weapons/Trinket 2014 looks like

The incinerator and rodgort should have a bigger footfall effect when the legendaries were updated last time.
Unfortunately it still seems to be bugged

since you’re compiling everything about them might as well all the “bad” sides

Incinerator’s footfall is fine as it is(on a human). No need for those giant ugly puddles.
