Dawn of the Dragons Obtaining Legendary Items Guide

Dawn of the Dragons Obtaining Legendary Items Guide by katana

Legendary items have Red names. With the exception of the Colosseum ones they are all unique items that need to be crafted. They are the best items for their slots at the time of release. Some legendaries can also be upgraded (SoCK and Shield Ryndor)

This is to help all you new players (and some older ones) to obtain the legendaries.
Currently there are 10 legendaries –
– 4 from raids: Mina, Sword of Conquered Kingdoms (SoCK), Kyddin Signet, & Sargaash Upgraded
– 4 from questing: Shield of Ryndor, Suneate of Last Emperor, Heubark of Gold, & Gauntlets of the Realm Walker
– 2 from colosseum: Golden Wreath, Panoply of the Colossus
This means it is very hard to get all the legendaries as you need to be good at more than 1 thing and be involved in all 3 aspects of the game.

Before I go into details to obtain each item I’ll give some of my observations
1) Everyone can get all the Quest/Raid legends if they play long enough as there are no real stat requirements. The Colosseum legends however require you to beat others at PvP. This means you need decent Atk to get it.
2) Quest legends need LOTS of energy as items are random drops from quest bosses. Repeating quests multiple times is needed to get the drops. Higher difficulty levels have better chance of dropping craft pieces. To get these legendaries without taking ages invest in over 1000 Energy or buy refills.
3) Raid legends are easiest to get as they require relatively low dmg from the raids to drop. The key is to stick to the optimum dmg range to maximise epics per stam invested. Fair share dmg drops 1 epic but it may take 3x fair share to get 2 epics so its better to hit multiple raids at AP/fair share dmg than invest it all into one raid.
4) Mina & Kyddin are only nightmare (NM) mode. SoCK is any difficulty but because of overlap with Mina raids you might as well start with NM. If you get the Mina part before you get the SoCK part you can revert to normal mode.
5) In case it is still not clear, Raid legends are from crafting Epic loot from Raid bosses and Quest legends are from crafting drops from Quest bosses. eg Circle of Bloodmane will not drop from raiding Bloodmane. You have to complete all the subquests in the first section of Ryndor to unlock the quest boss and then defeat him.
6) Craft parts for Heubark and Suneate can drop from Gifts so I advise doing the Shield Ryndor & Gauntlet legends first and then picking up the Heubark/Suneate pieces you did not get from gifts.

I will list the legendaries in the order of difficulty to get (In my opinion anyway)
1. SoCK (Raid of any difficulty)
Dmg listed is fair share for normal raids. The drop rates is 5-20% of epics with Lurking Horror and Gravlok giving the lowest return.
I have listed the location to get the summoning essence in [brackets] if you want to summon your own raids. However you don’t need to be able to summon a raid to get the craft parts. You can join other people’s raid from the forum or your FB wall

– Blade Eldarun: Raid Loot – Erubus [Fallows Zone 4] (600k=2 epic) or Tainted (1m=1 epic)
– Blade Anothia: Raid Loot – Gravlok [Fallows Zone 3] (500k=1 epic)
– Carnus Crest: Raid Loot – Lurking Horror [Faedark Zone 3] (350k=1 epic, 800k=2 epic)
– Carnus Hilt: Raid Loot – Grune [Burden Zone 3] (200k = 1 epic)

2. Mina (NM raids only)
Aim for AP or 2x AP dmg. Drop rates are rarer than SoCK pieces so you need to hit more raids.
I have listed the location to get the summoning essence in [brackets] if you want to summon your own raids. However you don’t need to be able to summon a raid to get the craft parts. You can join other people’s raid from the forum or your FB wall

– Grune Blood: Raid Loot – Grune [Burden Zone 3] (AP dmg = 200k)
– Lurking Horror Blood: Raid Loot – Lurking Horror [Faedark Zone 3] (AP dmg = 350k)
– Gravlok Blood: Raid Loot – Gravlok [Fallows Zone 3] (AP dmg = 500k)

– Tainted Erubus Blood: Raid Loot – Tainted Erubus (AP dmg = 1m)

3. Kyddin Signet(NM raids only)
These raids have less attackers than SoCK/Mina so you may need to do fair share rather than AP to get raids killed.

9. Golden Wreath
– Master Gladiator Rank 12: 25600 Colosseum Points (CP). Assuming you win all 20 battles per day against opponent of your rank (6 CP each) it wil take 213 days. The only way to speed it up is to get lots of defensive wins, beat people above you, or buy tokens. Obviously if you lose battles or others attack you and beat you then you lose CPs and it will take longer.

10. Panoply of the Colossus
– Master of the Colosseum Rank 16: 76800 Colosseum Points (CP).

Upgraded Legendaries
Sock Upgraded (NM raids only for raid Stones) (Combine original SoCK with the stones)
Drop rates of raid parts is low so the key again is to maximise the number of epics from stam invested. i.e do lots of raids at lower dmg rather than pour it all into one raid. You can expect to do 10-20 raids for each stone (some people need more but others have been luckier)
Quest stones drop from clicking on any of the subquests listed. They do not come from Quest bosses. Higher drop rate from higher quest difficulty but may still need 2-3 runs to get. Shift + Click to reset an area’s difficulty if you have made it thru NM quests without obtaining the stone.
#1 Stone of Farzak: Raid Loot – Kalaxia
#2 Stone of Xarabesh: Raid Loot – Lord Tyranthius
#3 Stone of Lyrpan: Raid Loot – Bogstench
#4 Stone of D’rach: Quest Drop – any sub-quest in Vornstaag “Cemetery”
#5 Stone of Arach: Quest Drop – any sub-quest in Ryndor “The Tomb” and “Plains:Mad Dogs”
#6 Stone of Zuxala: Quest Drop – any sub-quest in Bludheim “Terracles Meander”
