Legendary Gear
Legendaries are the strongest gear in Endless Curse: orange items with a unique effect that often changes how a skill plays. There are 119 in the whole game: 110 class legendaries spread across the seven classes, plus 9 general legendaries anyone can wear.
01What are legendaries?
- Orange, always on the best base, with 3–4 random affixes plus a unique effect (for example "Sword Wave fires more waves" or "revive from a killing blow").
- Class legendaries only drop while you play that class and only work on that class; general legendaries can drop for anyone and anyone can wear them.
- Legendaries you haven't found yet are more likely to drop: within the same drop roll, ones you don't have weigh 3 times as much as ones you do, so your collection fills itself in over time.

Below is the chance that a piece of dropped gear "turns out legendary", rising with difficulty.
| Source | Normal | Nightmare | Hell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gear from normal monsters | 0.2% | 0.3% | 0.4% |
| Gear from bosses | 8% | 12% | 16% |
| Golden unique elite kill | 1% (first 8 per run) | 1.5% (first 10 per run) | 2% (first 12 per run) |
| Stage boss kill | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Normal monsters drop a piece of gear roughly every 140 kills; with the general legendary Ring of Greed, that chance is ×1.5. Your most reliable source is still the boss at the end of every stage, such as The Butcher in Stage 1, who always drops a legendary.
04Difficulty and grade
Every legendary drops with a grade: the difficulty it dropped on. The higher the grade, the bigger the unique effect's numbers, and the stronger its random affixes.
Take the Knight's Oathbreaker: "Sword Wave fires 2 (Normal) / 3 (Nightmare) / 4 (Hell) more waves in a fan.".
- Some legendaries only start dropping on Nightmare or Hell; each class page groups them that way.
- Hell-only legendaries have fixed effects (the same number in every grade) and come with 4 affixes.
- Nightmare unlocks after you clear the five main stages on Normal, and Hell after you clear them on Nightmare.
05Legendary shop
If you'd rather not leave it to luck, you can buy legendaries directly with gems. In town, the Weaponsmith sells weapons, helmets, armor and boots, and the Jeweler sells rings and amulets; the Shop in the main menu shows everything.
| Grade | Price |
|---|---|
| Normal | 500 gems |
| Nightmare | 1,000 gems |
| Hell | 2,000 gems |
| Hell-only legendaries | 3,000 gems |
- What you see is what you get: shop legendaries have fixed affixes, no gambling involved.
- You can only buy grades for difficulties you've unlocked; purchases go into your stash, and you can't buy when the stash is full.
- You need to be signed in to an account to buy. Gems are purchased separately, but you never need them: the full game is playable without, and every legendary drops naturally.
06FAQ
What's the fastest way to get legendaries?
Beat stage bosses. The boss at the end of every stage always drops a legendary, and the higher the difficulty, the higher its grade.
Why do I keep getting other classes' legendaries?
You don't: class legendaries only drop while you play that class. If what you see isn't for your current class, it's a general legendary that anyone can wear.
Should I farm the same legendary again on a higher difficulty?
If the numbers differ a lot, yes. The Hell version of an item has the biggest numbers and stronger affixes.
Can I get every legendary without spending money?
Yes. Every legendary drops naturally, and ones you haven't found are more likely to roll; the legendary shop just lets you pick directly.
