Legendary Runes and Sigils Guide - GuildJen - Guild Wars 2 (2024)

GW2. A complete guide on how to get your Legendary Runes and Sigils. Legendary Runes and Sigils Crafting Guide. Guild Wars 2.

The Legendary Runes and Sigils allow you to choose the properties of any Superior Rune or Sigil in the game, this way you can easily swap between them anytime you are out of combat. Additionally, you can use the Legendary Runes and Sigils on all of your characters and builds simultaneously due to the legendary armory system. Another property of the Legendary Runes and Sigils is that you can use them in gear of any type of rarity that has an upgrade slot and can be removed without using an upgrade extractor.

This guide includes the entire process and all the information you will need to craft your Legendary Runes and Sigils.
