How Much Does a Tier 7 Legendary Cost?
The short and direct answer is: crafting a Rank 7 Legendary in World of Warcraft requires a significant investment. You’ll need a combination of various in-game currencies and items. Specifically, you will need:
- 5,150 Soul Ash
- 1,650 Soul Cinders
- 2,000 Cosmic Flux
- A Rank 7 base item (craftable armor piece)
- The desired Legendary Power (Memory)
- Missives for Secondary Stats
The total cost, therefore, isn’t just in currencies, but also in time spent farming these materials. The Soul Ash and Soul Cinders are primarily acquired through activities within Torghast, the Tower of the Damned, and The Maw assaults. Cosmic Flux comes from Zereth Mortis content, further tying the cost to various areas of the Shadowlands expansion. The base item, which has to be at Rank 7, is a crafted piece that requires its own materials and often a significant gold investment. Finally, you need the specific Legendary Power memory and Missives, which are less expensive but still needed for completion.
Breaking Down the Cost Components
Let’s examine each cost component in more detail to give a clear understanding of where these resources come from and how to effectively gather them.
Soul Ash and Soul Cinders: The Torghast Grind
Soul Ash is the primary resource needed for crafting and upgrading legendaries. You’ll need a substantial amount to reach Rank 7. This currency comes mostly from Torghast runs, specifically completing wings at various layers. Soul Cinders, introduced later in the Shadowlands lifecycle, is used specifically for upgrading to higher ranks such as Rank 6 and, ultimately, contributes to reaching the materials for crafting a Rank 7.
- Torghast Layers: Higher layers of Torghast yield more Soul Ash and Soul Cinders, but they also present a greater challenge, requiring better gear and coordination.
- The Maw Assaults: These weekly events in The Maw can provide some Soul Cinders.
Cosmic Flux: Zereth Mortis Currency
Cosmic Flux is a currency introduced with the Zereth Mortis zone. This is required for crafting Rank 7 legendaries. Obtaining Cosmic Flux requires you to progress through the Zereth Mortis campaign, explore the zone, complete world quests and activities, as well as activities in other content like dungeons and raids. It’s not a particularly scarce resource, but it does require time and effort within the specified content.
Rank 7 Base Item: Crafted Gear
You will need a Rank 7 base item, which is a piece of crafted armor that has the potential to be turned into a legendary. These bases need to be crafted by players with professions like Leatherworking, Tailoring, Blacksmithing or Jewelcrafting. The materials needed for these crafted items will vary based on the armor slot and the profession. These are often traded on the Auction House, adding a significant gold cost depending on server economy.
Legendary Power Memory and Missives
The Legendary Power Memory is not typically a significant cost as they are acquired from various activities, but it is a mandatory component that defines the legendary’s specific effect. You need the correct one for your chosen legendary item. Missives are readily available and inexpensive to purchase or create, and they simply determine the secondary stats assigned to your legendary item.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Tier 7 Legendaries
Here are some frequently asked questions that will provide more context and information about crafting legendary items.

Conclusion
Crafting a Tier 7 Legendary requires a thorough commitment to various in-game systems. Understanding the components – from Soul Ash and Soul Cinders to Cosmic Flux and base items, and how to obtain them is key to a smooth crafting process. While not all of these systems are directly tied to cost, they are mandatory in acquiring the materials to reach your desired item. The Bag of Explored Souls offers a more direct way to attain some of the crafting materials, but it still requires time spent to earn the necessary reputation and Cosmic Flux needed to buy it. The ability to equip two legendaries, including the Covenant Legendary through options such as Memory of Unity, significantly changes the game, enhancing player power in World of Warcraft, and requires both currency and effort.
