Why I built it

Hi, I'm weedo.

Thank you for your interest, and for reading this section.

I wanted something that would keep track of my progress towards the next legendary, because the game makes it convoluted enough that keeping it in your head is its own chore.

It is at its worst when you take a break. Coming back after a while, working out where you had got to always meant retracing the whole thing from the start — which is a headache, and a good way to give up before you have begun. The point of this tool is that the retracing is already done by the time you open it.

I wanted something narrow: one tool that does a single thing, for legendary items only.

If you like this tool and you feel like saying thanks, you can buy me a coffee.

What it does

It answers one question: what do I still need, and where do I get it?

Pick a legendary. Paste a read-only API key. That is the whole setup. From there the tool opens the recipe all the way down to raw materials, checks every step against what you already own — material storage, bank, shared slots and character bags — and shows you only what is missing. Hover any count and it tells you where the ones you have are sitting.

Chasing more than one? The Plan tab adds them all together, counts shared materials once, and sorts what is left by what you would actually do about it: run this meta, do this daily craft, buy this on the trading post, farm this currency from that vendor. It will also write your trading post half out as a shopping list you can paste anywhere.

Today is the short version: what is running right now, what it drops that you need, and every currency legendary crafting spends. The Legendary Armory is for before you commit — all 205 of them, what each one looks like, the effects it carries, and roughly what it costs.

There is also a plain reference you can read without opening the tracker at all: every legendary, what each one is, and what it takes to make — one page per item, with armor sets kept together because the wiki describes a set once and the pieces differ only in their recipes.

And when something is locked behind a collection, you get the collection's real requirements rather than the vendor line. "Buy it from Lyhr for a Lesser Vision Crystal" is true, but it is the price after the collection, not instead of it — and the difference is weeks.

How it works

There is no server. What you are reading is a handful of static files; every calculation happens in your own browser. That is not a boast about architecture — it is the reason for everything below.

Your API key stays on your machine. It is saved in your browser's own storage and sent to exactly one place: api.guildwars2.com. It never reaches me, because there is nowhere for it to reach. Use a read-only key with only the permissions the panel lists, and remove it whenever you like: Forget key deletes it from this browser, and you can revoke it outright at account.arena.net.

No accounts, no sign-up, no email. Nothing to register and nothing to confirm. Your tracked goals live in the same browser storage, which is why the Your data panel can export them as a file — that is your backup, and it is how you move to another browser.

No tracking, no analytics, no advertising cookies. There is no third-party script on this page, so there is nothing counting your visits, building a profile, or following you anywhere else. The only things stored are the ones you put there: your key, your goals, and your theme.

No ads, and nothing behind a paywall. Every feature is available to everyone, free, with no account tier and nothing held back. The coffee link above is a thank-you, not a subscription — nothing on the site changes whether or not you use it.

Nothing is invented. This is the rule the whole thing is built on, and the next panel is where it is spelled out: every figure is either live from the official API or sourced from the wiki, and where there is nothing sourced to say, the tool says so and links the wiki instead of guessing.

Where the numbers come from

Nothing here is invented. Item names, recipes, owned counts and trading post prices come live from the official Guild Wars 2 API. Mystic Forge recipes are not published by that API, so they are read from the official wiki when the site is built, and every ingredient is checked back against the API before it is used. Descriptions, visual effects and lore in the Legendary Armory are the wiki's own words. Where there is nothing sourced to say, the tool says so and links the wiki rather than guessing.

The site also remembers what the API already told it — item names, recipes, and your last sync — so coming back is not a re-download of everything it knew a minute ago. Anything shown from that store says how old it is, and trading post prices are deliberately never cached, because they move.

Corrections are genuinely welcome. Nothing here is written from memory — it is the API's numbers and the wiki's words — so if something does not match what you see in game, that is a bug worth hearing about rather than a difference of opinion.

Last update

16 August 2026 — updated for Visions of Eternity.

Recipes, acquisition notes and the armory descriptions are baked in when the site is built rather than fetched live, so they are accurate as of that date. Your own numbers — owned counts, prices, collection progress — are always read live from the API.
