    How are legendaries working this expansion now?

    I'm still slightly confused with the new system for legendaries. From what I read/heard, we will progressing through only one legendary weapon throughout the expansion and anyone can do it.

    As of 5.1, how far can you go with the legendary? Can you obtain the +500 gem yet? If you can make the LFR weapon drops your legendary, [as well as normal/heroic] are there going to be different ilvl legendaries?

    And will each weapons thats capable for the legendary upgrade get their models per upgrade?

    And finally, how many people are likely to obtain the complete legendary set compared to past legendaries?

    You can get the +500 gem now. One of the next steps after that requires you to earn 6000 Valor, so thats a pretty hefty gate that most are working on right now.

    The rest of the details you asked about are unknown at this time, though it appears that this legendary will be much more common than previous ones, as everyone can work on it. It seems they went the route of awarding long term dedication to a task throughout the entire expansion rather than a comparatively short process that only a small number of people will complete.
    I found I enjoyed the game significantly more when I stopped paying attention to all the people on the forums telling me how much I am supposed to hate it
    All this complaining is simply further proof that Blizzard could send each and every player a real-life wish-granting flying unicorn carrying a solid gold plate of chocolate chip cookies wrapped in hundred dollar bills, and someone would whine that Blizzard sucks for not letting them choose oatmeal raisin.

    yea sounds like legendaries are something everyone will be able to experience now. imo they shouldn't be called legendaries

    I think all will get a legendary, but I have a feeling that you have to finish a future raid in heroic mode to acquire certain items to complete your weapon. So, yes most people will have an unfinished legendary while only a very small percentage will complete it and acquire an additional effect.

    if not, then ye, legendaries have lost their status. Incoming Artefacts? (not that i support this, we already have lots of differentiation of gear)

    And let the Casual Vs Hardcore fight begin again!

    I'm quite happy that they are handling legendaries in this manner, a very long process that requires some luck, but everyone willing to dedicate the time/resources can eventually achieve.

    The community whined and bitched and cried, they stamped their little feet and demanded faster expansion releases. They don't get to complain now that expansions are shorter.

    You can get the gems through LFR.

    Blizz has said you will not be able to get the legendary weapon through LFR.

    We still have 2 patches to go before the full legendary weapons are unveiled. Right now Blizz is wetting our appetites with these Sha-touched gems.

    Not going to happen. If you can acquire start it in LFR then nothing higher will be required. Nothing like a kick to the nuts of LFR only raiders to be blocked by saying oops now you need to do heroic raids to finish.

    Link the quote. I have never seen a response claiming that.

    At least. For all we know we could see 3 non raid patches and 3 raid patches (my hope). We don't know how long this will drag out. Hell we may not be able to finish until we complete SoO.

    I really hope the steps in this questline dont have to be repeated per weapon, ie: you get the normal axe, upgrade it, but get a heroic one later. now, I know you can buy a new gem, but will this be the case for all stages of the quest?
