Guild Wars 2

I’ve been think about the Legendary Weapons lately lore wise.

Where did they come from?
What makes them so special from the other weapons with their flashy effects and shiny look?
Were there people before our Hero who created these legendary weapons years ago?
How come we can craft such powerful weapons of legends?
Who were the original founders of each Legendary Weapons?

These question keep coming up in my head about legendary weapons and it would be interesting to learn the lore behind each legendary weapon.

Unfortunately, there’s really no information on the subject other than they look awesome as hell.

Well since legendaries do not have better stats there is no need for special lore. The only legendary part comes from the design of the weapon itself. I would venture that the player that crafts one by doing all those larger than life tasks has earned enough experience to craft something out of the ordinary.

Well they seem to be mystic forge shenanigans. So i’m going to slap
“it’s magic”
and
“A genie did it”

right over the top of this one.

There’s literally no lore on legendary weapons. :/

I’m pretty sure that the legendaries are outside of canon =p

After all, the bow shoots unicorns.

Lore about Legendaries:

- Miyani brought a Djinn from Elona to sit in a magic lamp and do whatever it is he does in exchange for items. His name is Zommoros.
- In GW1 Djinn were capable of shapeshifting and tapping into the magic of the land. They were often used by Vabbians for magical protection, and it is said in the lore that in order to become a Djinn you would have to commit a great sin in life.
- Zommoros makes weapons inside the mystic forge… amongst other things.

…

That’s about it. We know how we get them and that they may or may not be made for us, but there isn’t any real mention of anything beyond that.

I think it can pretty much be explained in that

“Zommoros makes magics”
