The Mists Vault is a special reliquary of the Wizard's Vault. It allows visitors to preview legendary weapons that have been offered in Legendary Weapon Starter Kit released after the Godspawn release (i.e. set 6 and beyond).

Getting there

To access the vault, players must have a key:

• Use a Legendary Weapon Starter Key:
  • Purchased from the Wizard's Vault for 1,000 .
  • Only kits marked as a "key" (i.e. set 6 and beyond) will allow access to the vault.
  • Also acts as a key to access the preview for the associated legendary weapons.

• Use a Mists Vault Access Key:
  • Given for free by Field Archivist Cierle in the Mists Vault.
  • Only teleports the player to the vault. Does not grant access to any previews.
  • Purchased from Sarettokk in The Undermarket of Lion's Arch for 100 .

• Use the Wizard's Portal Tome
  • Dialogue option is unlocked once the player has obtained a Mists Vault Access Key.

Mechanics

Upon visiting the vault for the first time, make sure to speak with Field Archivist Cierle to obtain a free Mists Vault Access Key.

Within the vault, Overseer Zayac controls the various projectors in the room, allowing players to preview legendary weapon skins. Players may only preview skins they own the corresponding key to.

When presenting a key, four large illusions of the player's character will appear on the main platform wielding all four weapons available within that key. Speaking to the illusion grants the following dialogue options:

Show me the items I need to complete this weapon.

Could you show me the ready pose again?

Could you walk around to show me the weapon in motion?

I'd better think it over before making this choice.

• The first option opens up the relevant collection achievement for the weapon.
• The second option briefly stows the weapon and readies again to show the draw animation.
• The third option has the illusion walk a short distance to showcase the weapon's footfalls.

After deciding which legendary to select, the Mists Vault Main Repository in the center of the platform can exchange the key for a starter kit to begin crafting the weapon. You do not lose the key if you choose to leave without redeeming the key.
