Crafting a 291 Item Level Covenant Legendary in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
Crafting a 291 item level (iLevel) Covenant Legendary in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands involves a specific process unlocked in Patch 9.2. It requires several key components and progression steps. Essentially, you’ll need a Rank 7 base item, a specific Legendary Power (Memory of Unity), Missives for secondary stats, 5,150 Soul Ash, 1,650 Soul Cinders, and 2,000 Cosmic Flux. Crucially, to equip both your Covenant Legendary and another legendary, you must progress through the Zereth Mortis campaign and achieve Revered status with The Enlightened faction.
The Journey to 291 Covenant Power
Let’s break down each stage of the process to create your powerful iLevel 291 Legendary:
Obtaining the Required Materials and Unlocks
Before you can even begin crafting your 291 Legendary, you must make sure that you have met these requirements:
- Reach Level 60: This is the basic requirement for accessing Shadowlands content and legendary crafting.
- Complete the Main Story Campaign: You need to complete the campaign quest line to move to the next stage.
- Choose Your Covenant: You need to select a Covenant after completing the “Choosing Your Purpose” quest.
- Progress Through the Covenant Campaign: Complete your chosen Covenant’s campaign quests.
- Complete Chapter 7 of the Zereth Mortis Campaign: This step unlocks the ability to equip two Legendaries simultaneously.
- Reach Revered Status with The Enlightened Faction: This unlocks the ability to equip two Legendaries simultaneously.
- Acquire a Rank 7 Base Item: These are crafted by players with the required professions, and will vary depending on the slot the item will occupy.
Crafting the Legendary Item
Once all of the prerequisites are complete, here are the items you’ll need for the final crafting process:
- Legendary Power (Memory of Unity): You will be using this power for your Covenant Legendary. This legendary power will automatically change to your current covenant when you switch, providing you with the legendary power most appropriate for that covenant.
- Missives for Secondary Stats: These items allow you to customize the secondary stats on your legendary gear. Choose your missives based on the stat priority for your class and specialization.
- Soul Ash: You will need 5,150 Soul Ash for this final upgrade.
- Soul Cinders: You will need 1,650 Soul Cinders for this final upgrade.
- Cosmic Flux: You will need 2,000 Cosmic Flux. This currency is obtainable in Zereth Mortis, and is relatively easy to acquire.
Once you have gathered all the necessary items, you can head to the Runecarver in Torghast to finalize the crafting of your 291 iLevel Covenant Legendary.
Understanding the Covenant Legendary
It’s crucial to note that the Covenant Legendary you craft this way will be based on the Memory of Unity. This ensures it adapts to your current Covenant, providing the appropriate power, however, your gear slot will be restricted to a belt. Additionally, you’ll be able to equip another legendary crafted in the usual way, provided you have met the requirements to wear two legendaries by reaching Revered with The Enlightened.
