Guild Wars 2 Will Make Legendary Item Swapping Easier With The New Legendary Armory Feature

ArenaNet will be rolling out a nifty new feature with the next update which should make life easier for players who share legendary items between multiple characters. The developers call it the Legendary Armory and here’s how it works:

“[. . .] When you bind a legendary item to your account, it will be added to the Legendary Armory. Any legendary item that is added to the Legendary Armory will become available for use by all the characters across your entire account at the same time. This removes the need for you to swap legendary equipment between characters through your bank or shared inventory. This feature will also come with updates to Equipment Template functionality to make it easier to copy the configuration of equipped legendary items from one Equipment Template to another template on the same character.”

According to the devs, the goal of this new quality-of-life feature is to make legendary equipment more valuable and easier to use by removing the need for players to regularly swap account-bound legendary items between their characters.

Legendary weapons were first introduced to the MMORPG seven years ago. Then-Lead Designer, and now-Design Director, Isaiah “Skill Balancer” Cartwright talks about them in the video below. You can also drop by the Guild Wars 2 official forums for more info.
