There are three ways to obtain your Legendary Armor in Guild Wars 2: PvP, WvW, and PvE-based methods. The journey doesn’t end there, though. If you’re looking to make the best possible version of your character, you’ll need to ensure that your Legendary Armor is equipped with the perfect set of Runes.
Runes, much like Sigils, can provide bonuses above and beyond that of the base stats your equipped item comes with. For Runes, it adds an extra bonus to your Armor, such as increasing the Burning duration, boosting your Condition Damage, or Healing capabilities. Each build in Guild Wars 2 has a perfect set of Runes that will help your players achieve peak performance. The benefit of having Legendary Runes is that you can easily change their properties as needed so that if you have to alternate your roles or get tired of your build, you don’t need to incur any extra costs.
Legendary Runes are only obtainable through crafting them in the Mystic Forge, which means that you’ll have to obtain various base materials to craft them. However, the cost for Legendary Runes is cheaper than that of the Legendary Sigils, as you’ll need more of them for your equipment.
Alternatively, if you don’t have the energy or money to craft all the Legendary Runes you need, you can also combine them with Exotic Runes of the same kind. For instance, using Legendary Runes of the Nightmare and Superior Runes of the Nightmare will still stack the bonuses.
