Legendary quality is currently the level of item quality in between Epic and Artifact. Generally there are very few of these items on any given server. It usually takes multiple end-game raid instance runs to acquire or craft these items. Legendary items are considered the most powerful items available to players. The names of legendary-quality items will appear in orange.

[Eye of Sulfuras], a rare drop from Ragnaros, with the [Sulfuron Hammer], which is crafted by blacksmiths.
[Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker] is obtained first by obtaining two rare drops in the Molten Core, then by combining them with a large amount of crafting materials and defeating a special raid boss.- Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian was obtained by collecting several drops in Naxxramas and completing a brief quest. This weapon was unique in that there were different versions with different stats for each different caster class.
Burning Crusade
- In The Burning Crusade, the Twin Blades of Azzinoth drop off of Illidan Stormrage and [Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury] off of Kil'jaeden instead of being quest rewards.

Combat Rogues will be made to use these daggers as well without a DPS loss. The questline will revolve around the pure black dragon from the egg in the Badlands and features several Rogue-centric elements.[1]
