Gearing Up Your Alts: The Double Legendary Deep Dive
The Zereth Mortis Campaign Requirement
The key to unlocking double legendaries on your alts is completing Chapter 7 of the Zereth Mortis campaign. This is not a character-specific requirement once completed on one character; the unlock is account-wide. This means that once your main character has completed this chapter, all your other level 60 characters will automatically gain the ability to equip a second legendary.
Acquiring the Unity Legendary
After completing Chapter 7 of the Zereth Mortis campaign, you’ll receive the Memory of Unity. This memory allows you to craft the Unity legendary. Crucially, the effect of this legendary will automatically adjust to your current Covenant. For example, if your character is a Kyrian, the Unity legendary will grant you the Kyrian legendary power.
The Unity Belt: An Alternative Route
While completing the campaign is the primary method, you’ll also receive a pre-crafted belt with the Unity legendary effect upon completing Chapter 7. This belt serves as a convenient way to immediately equip the Unity legendary without needing to craft a new one. However, most players will eventually opt to craft a 291 legendary instead of using the belt.
Crafting Your Second Legendary: The Path to 291
Once you have unlocked the ability to equip two legendaries, you can craft your second legendary power as normal. To craft the 2nd legendary power you need: The Unity power recipe, obtained at revered reputation with the Enlightened. A 291 base item with missives to convert into the legendary. Sufficient player bound currency for rank 7 (ash, cinders, flux).
Time Investment
Realistically, getting an alt ready for double legendaries does involve some time investment. You’ll need to ensure your alt is level 60 and has progressed through the initial Shadowlands storyline to access the Zereth Mortis campaign. While the ~3 hours estimate to complete the campaign may vary depending on your character’s gear and your familiarity with the quests, dedicating a few hours is crucial.
Unity Rank and Item Level
Legendary items can be upgraded to Rank 7, iLevel 291 in Patch 9.2. The upgrade process for this final rank requires a new Rank 7 Base Item and a new currency, Cosmic Flux.
