— In-game description

Acquisition

Overview

Up to 77 Legendary Insights can be acquired per week by completing all raids, every daily bounty, and 10 quickplay raids. These are broken down as follows:

• 43 are awarded from weekly completions; 1 from each encounter:
  • 15 from Heart of Thorns (Wings 1-4)
  • 10 from Path of Fire (Wings 5-7)
  • 3 from Janthir Wilds (Wing 8)
  • 15 from raid encounters:
    • 1 from Core Game — Old Lion's Court
    • 7 from Icebrood Saga
    • 4 from End of Dragons
    • 2 from Secrets of the Obscure
    • 1 from Visions of Eternity
• 28 are awarded from daily achievements in  Daily Raid Bounties, if all four are completed every day.
• 6 are awarded from the weekly achievement  Weekly Quickplay Raid Encounters.
• Quickplay mode will not count for a daily bounty, nor does it award coffers.
• Challenge Modes no longer award additional Legendary Insights.

Notes

• The original description, prior to the July 19 2022 game update, was "Used in the creation of legendary armor at the Mystic Forge."
  • Since the same game update, Legendary Insights replaced Legendary Divinations in every Path of Fire raid container and boss loot. Any remaining LD might be converted to LI either via a double-click or through a raid vendor.

Trivia

• While they can be acquired by accounts without expansions, legendary equipment crafting is locked behind owning them.

• Legendary Insight - For the discontinued item. Any Legendary Insights players already owned prior to the July 19, 2022 update remain as these until manually converted.
