Legendary and unique items

Legendary (orange) items are the strongest in the game; unique (turquoise) items are the rarest — they’re awarded for achievements.

Legendary items

A legendary item has 1.8 times the stats of a blue item of the same level (an epic has 1.35). Every legendary has item level 280 whatever level it was made for — the top of the scale.

How to get a legendary

• Raid final bosses. In five raids the final boss guards a named legendary: a separate 0.8% roll per kill. World residents never take it.
• Zone Bosses of level 30 and up — 0.4% on each of their two loot rolls.
• Four relics with special powers — see below.

The full list is in the Legendary items reference.

Relics

Each relic has two powers. The Crown gives +1 crystal at the start of a fight and makes your first card cost 2 less. The Cloak once per fight stops a blow from finishing you below 30% Health and gives a shield worth 25% of your Health, and the first hit against you in every fight is half as strong. The Hammer returns 20% of your attack damage as a shield, and every third consecutive strike hits 40% harder. The Medallion is a once-per-fight button: it removes your strongest harmful effect and gives a shield. Relics are personal.

Unique items

Unique items go in the shirt, tabard and trinket slots. They all share the same rules:

• one of each per account, and it can only be passed to another of your own heroes;
• wearable from level 1;
• +1 to each of the four stats (the «Zarhold Trailblazer» tabard gives +5 Power instead).

Three brands are arena season rewards: the «Champion’s Brand» for 1st place, the «Runner-up’s Brand» for 2nd–3rd, the «Fighter’s Brand» for 4th–10th. Brands have a once-per-fight combat button: it removes harmful effects and puts up a shield, in both PvP and PvE. Details: Season rewards. Three more unique items — a shirt and two tabards — are named rewards; they can’t be won in combat.
