Legendary back item
Legendary back items are back items of Legendary rarity. There are currently three legendary back pieces: Ad Infinitum, The Ascension and Warbringer.
As with other legendary equipment, the Attribute combinations of legendary back pieces can be freely changed at any time the player is out of combat. They have two infusion slots and don't need to be further infused. All of these items are created through a mixture of crafting, finding, collecting and purchasing. Creation of the end item is a multi-step process which is completed using the Mystic Forge. While not time-gated, creating any of these items is a lengthy, time-consuming project. Once started, needed items can be obtained by any character on the account, and all of the created items are account bound.
Since the addition of the Legendary Armory, legendary back items can be transmuted freely, no longer consuming transmutation charges, and can equipped on all level 80 characters simultaneously.
