In No Rest for the Wicked, Legendary weapons represent the highest tier of equipment, distinguished by their gold rarity and four fixed enchantments (runes) that cannot be modified or extracted.
Unlike standard weapons with random runes, Legendaries come pre-loaded with synergistic bonuses that can define your build, though they still require appropriate stat investments for optimal damage output.
How to Farm Legendary Weapons
Legendaries drop randomly from elite bosses and chests, with the best sources being:
- Crucible: Clear all floors and defeat Cyvion the Echo Knight (endgame dungeon, costs Fallen Embers to enter).
- Pestilence Outbreaks: Bosses like Sayer's Echo or Bloodbound Torment.
- Campaign Bosses: Higher chances from specific encounters (e.g., Warrick the Torn, Riven Twins), but RNG-heavy.
Farm repeatedly, as drops scale with your progress. No stat requirement blocks usage, but underleveled stats cripple DPS.

Build Recommendations
- Dexterity Bleed: Bleeder's Delight or Lacquered Bow for fast, stacking damage.
- Strength Poise Breaker: Fetid Club or Cinder & Stone for staggering heavies.
- Intelligence Caster: Falling Sky or Tarnished Wand for ranged control.
- Faith Hybrid: Falstead's Fury or Sinew for sustain.
These weapons can be upgraded like others, but their fixed runes make them plug-and-play powerhouses. Keep farming, as duplicates allow for rune extraction in some cases post-updates.
