Legendary Relic Guide - GuildJen - Guild Wars 2 (2024)

GW2. A complete guide on how to get your Legendary Relic. Secrets of the Obscure. Legendary Relic Crafting Guide. Guild Wars 2. SotO.

Legendary Relics allows you to choose every relic effect in the game, this way you can easily swap between them anytime when you are out of combat. Additionally, you can use the Legendary Relic on all of your characters and builds simultaneously due to the legendary armory system. Note that to be able to use the effect of any of the Secret of the Obscure relics you will require access to said expansion, and any new effects added in the future will have to be unlocked first to appear as an option on your Legendary Relic. Legendary Relics has no visual effects at all, so unlike most other legendaries, you would only make this item for its functionality.

This guide includes the entire process and all information you need to know to make a Legendary Relic.

To craft a Legendary Relic you will need to combine these four gifts in the mystic forge:
