Legendary Crafting Guide
Characters are able to craft their own legendaries upon reaching level 60. Here is a simple guide to how the process works.

Unlocking the Runecarver
  • Upon reaching level 60, you will be directed by Bolvar to find a way to unlock Torghast by talking to Ve'nari in the Maw and completing the introductory quest inside Torghast to rescue Baine. Upon killing the boss of wing 6 inside the introduction, a quest item will drop that you bring back to Ve'nari after bringing Baine back to Oribos.
  • This quest item leads you back into a room inside the lobby of Torghast, where you will be directed by the Runecarver there to obtain a memory from a boss just outside Ve'nari's refuge in the Maw. Upon bringing it back you will then have to do a follow up quest to break his chains by purchasing an item from Ve'nari and killing mobs for quest items.
  • This allows you to then collect Soul Ash from Torghast runs. Bring 1250 to the Runecarver to be able to craft your legendaries.
  • You must unlock the Runecarver up to the point of collecting 1250 Soul Ash to be able to loot memories.


Obtaining Soul Ash
  • Torghast is your primary method of obtaining Soul Ash.
  • Torghast is a repeatable rogue-like dungeon where you climb 6 floors and fight a boss. Each time you complete a layer, you will be able to choose a harder layer until you reach layer 8. (Layers 1-6 are available now. 7 and 8 release next week.)
  • There are two wings per week to que for and they rotate every week.
  • Completing a layer for the first time each week will reward you with all the Soul Ash that would be earned from layers below it.
  • In order to maximize the amount of Soul Ash you can get, you must complete the highest floor possible in each wing once a week.
  • There will be 2 different wings open each week. You can only receive Soul Ash from each layer once per week.
  • The max amount of Soul Ash you can earn in a week once all layers are open is 1140 (570 per wing)
  • Soul Ash Amounts Per Layer
    • Layer 1 - 120
    • Layer 2 - 100
    • Layer 3 - 85
    • Layer 4 - 70
    • Layer 5 - 60
    • Layer 6 - 50
    • Layer 7 - 45
    • Layer 8 - 40
  • You can also obtain Soul Ash periodically by completing challenging missions at your Adventure Table.
  • Bolvar also offers a series of quests that are time-gated, each rewarding Soul Ash.


Obtaining Memories
  • Memories are the recipes that you must bring to the Runecarver to unlock different legendary powers.
  • Each legendary has a specific drop location. Once you loot the item, you can bring it to the Runecarver's room and right click it to permanently earn the ability to craft it.
  • These are account wide.
  • Refer to the powers tab on your Adventure Guide in order to find out where each of your legendary Memories drop.



Crafting your Legendary
  • There are a few items you need to bring to the Runecarver to craft your legendary:
    • The legendary memory power must be unlocked. Each legendary power has 2 different gear slots available to craft in.
    • A base item for the slot that you wish to craft the power in.
      • These are purchased on the auction house or crafted by crafters.
    • Two Missives with the stats you desire on your legendary piece.
      • Missives are purchased on the auction house or crafted by scribes.
      • There is one for each secondary stat. You must have 2 different stats when crafting your legendary.
    • The necessary amount of Soul Ash

Upgrading Your Legendaries
  • Legendaries can be upgraded 3 times for a total of 4 ranks.
    • Rank 1 - ILvl 190
    • Rank 2 - ILvl 210
    • Rank 3 - ILvl 225
    • Rank 4 - ILvl 235
  • You do not use any more soul ash crafting a rank 1 and upgrading it than you do crafting a rank 4 right away. The only addition is the gold cost associated with crafting the higher item level base piece.
  • To upgrade a legendary, you need:
    • Your current rank legendary
    • The appropriate base item for the new rank
    • Soul Ash
