Legendaries

Orange light on the sand, embers that never go out, and a weapon that acts on its own.

You will see a legendary before you reach it. It throws a pillar of orange light out of the sand, and up close the piece itself never settles — embers drift off it, and the metal keeps catching a light that is not there.

The seventh button

An Epic or Legendary weapon grants a proc, and it is not a passive — it is a button that lights when its moment comes. A warrior’s Final Blow opens on a foe below a third of their health and hits like a sentence. A mage’s Flash Freeze only answers a target already frozen or stunned, and it lands damage and holds them longer still.

Where they come from

Your first clear of the cave, ever, is guaranteed to hand you one, along with the Key of Jinns. After that they are earned the hard way: about three clears in a hundred, a little more often from the throne’s Lord, and rarest of all out of an ordinary kill in the open desert.
