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:
