...that following the opening of the gates of Ahn'Qiraj, there are at least four Legendary (orange) items in the game so far? One is a quest reward, a special mount which you get for forging the sceptre of Ahn'Qiraj and turning it in no more than 10 hours after the opening, another two (a mace and a sword) are crafted using very rare items from various bosses in Molten Core. The fourth - a Staff named Aietesh - is obtained from items in Naxxramas, and has four incarnations to match the classes that can weild it. There are two other Legendary items found, a necklace which was removed by Blizzard because it was 'deemed too powerful', and another sword called the Ashbringer, seen on most GM's, but they are currently only attainable for players on private servers. Blizzard has suggested that these items will be attainable after future patches.
