So, you want to farm those sweet Legion Legendaries in Shadowlands, eh? Well, grab your gear, because while the process isn’t exactly “farming” in the traditional sense, you can still acquire them. The key thing to remember is that their special effects are disabled once you leave Legion Timewalking content. However, collecting them for transmog or completionist purposes is still a valid pursuit. The main way to obtain Legion Legendaries in Shadowlands is by purchasing them from Arcanomancer Vridiel in Dalaran for 1,000 Wakening Essences each. You first need to have obtained them via world drops as part of Legion content before they can be purchased. It is worth noting that the method is time-consuming if you have not collected wakening essences during the Legion expansion.
Where to Get Wakening Essences
Legion World Quests and Emissary Caches
Your primary source of Wakening Essences is through Legion World Quests. Look for quests that specifically reward essences upon completion. Completing Emissary Caches (awarded after finishing four World Quests) can also yield a significant number of essences. Check your world map regularly for available quests.
Legion Dungeons and Raids
While not the most efficient method, Legion Dungeons and Raids can drop Wakening Essences. Focus on running content where you can quickly clear through bosses. Remember, Mythic difficulty might offer slightly better drop rates, but the increased time investment may not be worth it.
Turning in Nethershards at a Vendor
Players can also turn in Nethershards for Wakening Essences if they are unable to obtain them elsewhere.
Why Bother?
Transmog
The primary reason to collect Legion Legendaries in Shadowlands is for transmogrification. These items often have unique and visually appealing appearances, allowing you to customize your character’s look. Remember that while their powers are deactivated, their style remains.
Completionist Goals
For players who enjoy collecting everything, obtaining all the Legion Legendaries is a satisfying achievement. It’s a goal that requires dedication and persistence, adding another layer of content to engage with.
Important Considerations
- Legacy Status: Remember that all Legion Legendaries are now considered “Legacy Items” in Shadowlands, meaning their unique effects are disabled outside of Legion Timewalking.
- Time Investment: Farming Wakening Essences can be time-consuming, so be prepared for a grind.
- Alternative Options: Consider focusing on other transmog goals if the effort isn’t worth the reward.
