As shown in preview (legendary items appear above any other available items within the equipment panel, on a separate row with a gold corner)

The Legendary Armory is a feature that allows equipping legendary items simultaneously on all characters on the account. Visually, the Legendary Armory is contained within the Equipment Tab of the Hero panel and has no separate user interface. Legendary items appear at the top of the equipment selection panel on the left, and gain a gold top-left corner overlay with a chain link symbol 🔗.

Legendary Armory allows storing legendary equipment configurations and appearance individually per each equipment template and character. Only level 80 characters have access to items in the Armory. Additionally, characters can only view and equip legendary armor and weapons their profession has access to.

Logging into a character on July 13, 2021 or later automatically converts any account-bound legendary equipment in the characters' inventories, equipment panels, and account bank to the Legendary Armory, summed up by 'Legendary Equipment Unlocked!'. Any newly crafted legendary items are added to the Legendary Armory automatically upon binding them to the account.

Adding items to the Legendary Armory

• Unbound legendaries remain in your inventory.
• If you own bound copies of Sunrise or Twilight, the greatswords are added to your Legendary Armory and you receive Memory of Sunrise and Memory of Twilight to use in crafting Eternity (an Eternity produced using tokens is account-bound).
  • If you own Eternity, you receive both Sunrise and Twilight for your armory.
• Each piece of equipment is treated as a unique item.
  • If you want to customize an equipment template by equipping the legendary sword Bolt in two weapon slots, you need to obtain and bind two copies of Bolt.
  • The maximum number of copies of an item your Legendary Armory can hold is determined by how many equipment slots it can occupy.
    • This limit exists so you don’t have to worry about accidentally unlocking more copies of a specific legendary than you can equip.
    • Since no character can ever equip more than four swords at once, your Legendary Armory holds a maximum of four copies of each legendary sword.
    • An equipment template only has space for two staves, so your Legendary Armory holds a maximum of two copies of each legendary staff.

Equipping items

• Once a legendary item is stored in your Legendary Armory, every level 80 character on your account can use it, provided it’s available to their profession and elite specialization
• You can equip items from your Legendary Armory by double-clicking them or clicking and dragging them onto a slot.
• Right-clicking an equipment slot will bring up a convenient dropdown menu, which you can use to equip your available legendary items, equip a non-legendary item from your inventory or regular armory, customize your equipped legendary item, or copy an equipped item and its customizations to your other equipment templates.
• Once you’ve equipped a legendary item to multiple equipment templates, you can set different attributes, upgrade selections, and skins for each one.
• Whenever legendary item is unequipped from a character, the stats on it are reset and the upgrades removed to inventory. If the inventory is full, it will encumber the player.

Additional mechanics

• Free Transmutation — Changing the appearance of any item of the same type as your unlocked legendary equipment no longer requires transmutation charges.
• Equipment and Build Templates at Hand — Click the arrow above your weapon swap toggle to quickly swap to any of your equipment and build templates.
• Binding a legendary to your account offers a little more fanfare—and some hints about your item’s nature, origin, or previous owners.
• Legendary trinkets that are available with and without visual effects, like Conflux and Transcendence, feature a visibility toggle for their effects.
• Slotted upgrades and infusion — Upgrades and infusions in equipped gear and equipment templates remain in place. For items in your bank, shared and regular inventory, infusions and upgrades will be popped out to your inventory.
• Slumbering Trinkets — Players are not able to acquire new slumbering trinkets after July 13 release and any existing slumbering trinkets will not be absorbed into the Legendary Armory. The recipes for slumbering trinkets will instead reward the awakened trinket. Existing slumbering trinkets can be exchanged for the awakened version at Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs in Lion's Arch.
• Gen 2 Precursor Crafting Limits — Players are able to craft additional copies of Generation 2 legendaries.

Legendary armory text in the item description.

Each distinct piece of legendary equipment has its own limit on how many can be added to the armory, depending on its type:

• Two-handed weapons such as Twilight, Main-hand-only weapons such as Meteorlogicus, and Off-hand weapons such as The Flameseeker Prophecies have a limit of 2.
• As of Janthir Wilds, spears such as Kamohoali'i Kotaki and Klobjarne Geirr have a limit of 4 as both two-handed and aquatic weapons.
• Weapons that can be used in both main-hand and off-hand such as Bolt have a limit of 4.
• All Armor, Aquabreathers, Back Items, Amulets, unique Accessories, unique Rings and Relics have a limit of 1.
  • Despite this, some of these items are craftable more than once. Since they are not tradable, any crafts beyond the first are wasted and serve no purpose.
• Non-unique rings and accessories such as Conflux and Stella Radians, have a limit of 2.
• Runes have a limit of 7.
• Sigils have the highest limit of 8.

However, there are a few exceptions to these limits:

• The spear Ancora Bellum and the staff Ancora Pax each have a limit of 1.

Notes

• Adding Sunrise or Twilight to your Legendary Armory will award you with a Memory of Sunrise or Memory of Twilight, both of which are used to create Eternity.
• It is technically possible to craft more than 1 of the legendary armor pieces by accident (for example 2 medium chest pieces or 2 heavy gloves). When this happens, the following message is displayed upon trying to destroy the extra copy of the legendary item:

You are about to permanently destroy Hitem, of which you have unlocked the maximum quantity for the Legendary Armory. Enter the item's name below to confirm before destroying. If this item is already bound to your account and you have not received a replacement box, please contact Customer Support.

Bug:

Using the Mystic Forge on a Sunrise and Twilight to make an Eternity will not add them to your Legendary Armory, instead just unlocking the skins if not already unlocked.
