Hogwarts Legacy: Best Legendary Gear [In-Depth Guide]
Hunting down the best legendary gear can make your master magician stand out with style and grace!
The Best Legendary gear in Hogwarts Legacy can help you overcome the most dubious of challenges with ease, as most quests and bosses will require a specific level threshold to complete. It is worth noting that the legendary gear in this game is certainly not unique unless you apply traits to it, or in rare circumstances, the gear drops with these traits pre-equipped on them. Without these traits, they are almost cosmetic-based with defense or offense stats, which will be my main focus as I list them individually.
- Hogwarts Legacy boasts a range of legendary gear, with a select few standing out as optimal choices for both early and late-game adventures.
- Players can customize legendary gear with unique traits, primarily enhancing Defense or Offense stats alongside visual enhancements.
- Traits come in three levels, with each piece of legendary gear featuring level 3 trait slots.
- Legendary gear’s gear score varies based on the player’s current game level when obtained in the world.
- Players can acquire legendary gear through quests, special chest looting, or purchasing directly from vendors.
- Author’s Note: With more than dozens of hours of experience in Hogwarts Legacy, I feel more than obliged to provide you with hands-on experience on the topic below.

Velvet House Cloak
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Offense | Rarity |
| Cloak and Robes | 16 | 500 | 200 | 43 | Superb, Extraordinary, and Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The elegant look and the legendary rarity on top of the offensive bonus.
The Velvet House Cloak is one of many legendary gear pieces that you can obtain via unique chests scattered across the world, which will also more than likely prove to be one of the easiest ways to obtain legendary gear in the early game of Hogwarts Legacy.
As the name implies, the velvet color, along with the golden lacing and insignias, allow your character to achieve an elegant look if that’s what most players are looking for in an armor piece. Furthermore, I found that the dark color also went great with my other gear, which had a similar tonality of shade.
- Legendary rarity offering high value.
- Elegant appearance and ease of acquisition.
- Limited offensive bonus.
Brown Eye Of Newt Goggles
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Defense | Rarity |
| Facewear | 9 | 500 | 200 | 23 | Common, Well-Appointed, Superb, Extraordinary, and Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The reference to Alastor Mad Eye Moody on top of the moderate defense bonus.
These goggles made it into my list solely due to the fact that they gave me vibes to none other than Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody, whom many Harry Potter fans may recognize from the movie franchise. While these googles are certainly not similar at all to his magical eyepatch, they have the same eerie feeling that you can’t help but use them due to their goofy quality.
- Various rarity levels.
- Provides a nostalgic reference to Alaster “Mad-Eye” Moody and a unique aesthetic.
- Limited defensive bonus.
Sanguine Mask
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Defense | Rarity |
| Facewear | 6 | 500 | 200 | 12 | Superb, Extraordinary, and Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The nostalgic touch this gear adds to my character plus the defense bonus.
The Sanguine mask is the perfect legendary gear for your character, especially if you’re trying to achieve a fully disguised or masked look. It is another gear piece featured in the random world pool drops, or you can also try your luck at purchasing it from vendors too. Moreover, you also might just be able to pull off a Red Hood (a character from the Batman series) cosplay while wearing it.
- Legendary rarity with an intimidating look to it.
- Nostalgic reference to Red Hood’s mask.
- Limited defensive bonus and availability.
Celtic Hero Cape
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Offense | Rarity |
| Cloaks and Robes | 14 | 500 | 200 | 41 | Superb, Extraordinary, and Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The visually appealing design that adds a touch of elegance to your character.
As shown in the image above, the Celtic Hero Cape offers another decorative feel to your character, as the light pink tonality of the cape, along with the gold embroidery, is sure to please almost anyone. One of my co-workers found this legendary piece of gear in the early game via the in-game vendors, but you can find it practically anywhere in the world via chest drops.
- Legendary rarity plus a decorative design aesthetic.
- Easily availability.
- Limited offensive bonus.
Charcoal Lock Scarf
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Offense | Rarity |
| Neckwear | 14 | 500 | 200 | 33 | Common, Well-Appointed, Superb, Extraordinary, and Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The aesthetic appeal plus the practical benefits with the bonus in offense.
The Charcoal Lock Scarf is just one of the various scarves that you can equip for your character in the game. Just like the name implies, the charcoal coloring might not be as accurate, but who knows? You might even slowly adore its dark colors and maybe even receive a trait pre-equipped on it, just like I did in the image above.
- Versatile rarities and good offensive bonus.
- Enhances character’s abilities with other benefits.
- Not as easy to obtain as some other gear choices.
Ornate Two-Tone Gloves
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Offense | Rarity |
| Handwear | 7 | 500 | 200 | 16 | Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The offensive boost this gear provides early-on in the game with the distinct look.
As shown in the image above, the Ornate two-tone gloves feature two distinctive colors. I found them pretty early on in the game, and alongside the Stinger dueling gloves, which we’ll mention later in my list, they are fantastic gloves that can be paired with almost any kind of getup of your Witch or Wizard.
- Legendary Rarity.
- Unique aesthetics allowing for some customizable options.
- Limited offensive bonus and availability.
Embroidered Formal Uniform
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Defense | Rarity |
| Neckwear | 14 | 500 | 200 | 35 | Superb, Extraordinary, and Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The classy look this gear provides on top of the enhanced defensive capabilities.
The Embroidered Formal Uniform is an excellent choice for players who are looking to achieve a classy or just an upper-class style for their character. The jacket of the uniform will also feature your house insignia on the chest, allowing you to represent with utmost grace while exploring the world.
- Versatile rarity options.
- Great defense boost with a classy appearance.
- Hard to get your hands on due to the higher rarity.
Purple Dragon-Eyed Spectacles
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Defense | Rarity |
| Facewear | 12 | 500 | 200 | 33 | Common, Well-Appointed, Superb, Extraordinary, and Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The uniqueness it provides my character with plus the defense enhancement.
If you’re looking to customize your character with a comical look, then the purple dragon-eyed spectacles fulfill that requirement. As you can see from the image above, they’re sort of like gag glasses. Still, instead of a comically large nose and mustache, the large reptile-like green eyes and the purple scale around it allow them to fit perfectly with the supernatural fantasy theme of Hogwarts Legacy.
- Enhances defensive capabilities.
- Rarity ranges from common to legendary.
- The aesthetic of this gear might not be for everyone.
Emerald Bloom Scarf
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Defense | Rarity |
| Facewear | 12 | 500 | 200 | 30 | Common, Well-Appointed, Superb, Extraordinary, and Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The way this armor represents the Ravenclaw house colors and the versatile rarity options.
Similar to the black charcoal scarf, the emerald bloom one features a distinctive dark turquoise color with leaves and other notable patterns as textures on it. While there is certainly quite a variety of scarves to choose from, I found this one the most appealing to use on my Ravenclaw house character as it represents its colors splendidly.
- Distinctive design with house representation colors of the Ravenclaw House.
- Good defensive capabilities.
- Only likeable by Ravenclaw house members.
Gold Dragon-Eyed Spectacles
| Gear Type | Item Level | Buy Price | Sell Price | Defense | Rarity |
| Facewear | 13 | 500 | 200 | 32 | Common, Well-Appointed, Superb, Extraordinary, and Legendary |
- Why I Chose This: The sophistication this adds to my character plus the boost in defense.
Since I had already included the purple dragon-eyed spectacles, it only seemed right to include the gold variant, too, as that mildly gold tint doesn’t look too comical in my eyes. Furthermore, if you’re still looking to achieve that ‘Mad Hatter’ look, then by all means, try your luck at scoring these glasses out in the world via chests or just by buying them from vendor stocks.
- Versatile rarity types.
- A great unique looking gear piece with a good defense enhancement.
- The visual look may not be to everyone’s liking.
The Best Ways To Get Legendary Gear Early
While I have mentioned it a few times already, I strongly suggest keeping your eyes peeled for large treasure chests when completing certain puzzles or even going off the beaten path during quests. These treasure chests will reward you with legendary gear, and you can, of course, apply the save-scum exploit, where you load your save file prior to opening the chest to receive the specific legendary gear piece that you want for yourself.
To acquire Legendary gear early in the game, visit Gladrags Wizardwear in Hogsmeade. The shop may have rotating inventory, so check back frequently for new legendary items. While pricey, selling low-level or unused gear regularly can help you accumulate coins quickly for purchases.

While on the subject, it is also crucial to upgrade your Full Gear Slots so that your character may equip the maximum amount of armor or accessories on it. The Best Talents In Hogwarts Legacy go hand-in-hand with a few powerful spells, such as Incendio and Flipendo, both of which are excellent options to use during combat.
Still, if you want to feel more overpowered, then consider unlocking the Unforgivable Curses, which includes the quests to not only unlock Crucio but also to unlock Avada Kedavra, one of the most iconic dark sorceries of the entire Harry Potter universe. Aside from that, this wraps up my guide on the Best Legendary Gear in the game and how you can go about obtaining it.
