If you’re looking to upgrade your Legendary Weapons, there’s little better way to go about it than adding Sigils to them. Sigils, like all other bits of gear in Guild Wars 2, come in a variety of different quality tiers. The higher the tier, the more stats they’ll add to your gear. Sigils are also a great way to add extra benefits to your weapons that can assist your character in battle. Furthermore, Sigils are vital to securing your best build that will help you excel in the middle of battle.
The benefit of using a Legendary Sigil over a Superior Sigil is that they can take on the properties of any other Superior Sigil in the game. You can also remove them from your gear without having to use an Upgrade Extractor, which is only obtainable from Black Lion Trading Post currencies like Gems and Statues. Additionally, you can change the equipped Sigil stats as needed to suit any build you might be running on your character.
Before, it was possible to obtain a Legendary Sigil from a Legendary Mistforged Trunk or a Legendary Trunk, this method of acquisition has since been removed from the game, and the only way to get a Legendary Sigil is through crafting them at the Mystic Forge:
