legendary item

Fabled treasure piece

A legendary item is an object of exceptional rarity and power in video games and tabletop role-playing games, typically ranked near the top of item quality tiers.

The term borrows from mythology—items worthy of legend—to signal that acquiring one represents significant achievement or luck: I finally got a legendary item from that raid boss.

In games with color-coded loot systems, legendary items often appear in orange or gold.
