GW2. A complete guide on how to get the Legendary Spear Klobjarne Geirr from Janthir Wilds. Guild Wars 2 Janthir Wilds.
Getting Started
This guide includes the entire process and all the information you need to know to make the Legendary Spear Klobjarne Geirr from Janthir Wilds. The Janthir Wilds expansion is required to make this legendary weapon.
Klobjarne Geirr is the name of this legendary spear and includes six different skin variants that will automatically unlock once you add the weapon to your Legendary Armory. Next you can see a showcase of the different skins and chat codes that you can paste at in-game chat for preview.

This guide will be separated into 5 steps, first to unlock the collections, and then one step for each major gift you will place in the Mystic Forge.
But before starting, this guide will list the account-bound requirements (those that can’t be purchased by gold) that you will eventually need so you can be prepared to optimize your journey to be as efficient as possible.
NOTE: Some of the components for this weapon are potentially time-gated, but all of them have an alternative to bypass the waiting by paying an extra cost or by just playing more.
Account Bound Requirements
- Map Completion
You are required to complete the first two maps in the Janthir Wilds area to earn a gift of each one. However, there is an alternative to buy each gift directly from the NPC. This approach only makes sense if you want to repeat the process for a second legendary, otherwise for your first time completing the maps won’t take long.
- Complete Lowland Shore Map –
- Complete Janthir Syntri Map-
- Alternative: Purchase from the heart vendors in their respective map at extra cost
- 15
- 100
- 250 Unusual Coins
- 2000 Ursus Oblige
- 51000 Karma
- Alternative: Purchase from the heart vendors in their respective map at extra cost
- 15
- 100
- 250 Unusual Coins
- 2000 Ursus Oblige
- 51000 Karma
- Map Currency
By completing events in Lowland Shore and Janthir Syntri you will get the currency and some of the materials you will need for the Legendary Spear.
- 125
- From events in Lowland Shore or WvW/PvP reward track
- 125
- From events in Janthir Syntri or WvW/PvP reward track
- 1250 Ursus Oblige
- From events in any map or by consuming any of the above materials
NOTE: These are the minimal amounts necessary, you might need more if want to speed up the process to obtain other materials. Especially to buy keys for the Kodan Caches.
- Unusual Coins
A total of 250 Unusual Coins are required. These coins are obtained by opening kodan caches located in the two maps. Use the Warclaw sniff (default skill 2) and if there is a treasure nearby it will appear marked with green smoke and will show with a chest icon in your minimap as well.
Get the treasure by standing on top of it with your Warclaw and using skill 2 to uncover it. It will go directly to your inventory (can be minor, lesser, major, and mythic kodan caches).
The major kodan caches are the only ones that are not covered and you can find them around the map without using the Warclaw (using the Jade Bot Treasure Hunter Protocol can help to spot these easily). To open the major and mythic ones, you will need to buy keys from the collector of unusual coins at the Astral Ward Moon Camp or at the Old Hutment Site (They share the daily limit).

- 1
+ 1050 Karma
- (4 daily limit)
- 2
+ 2100 Karma
- (21 daily limit)
- 1
+ 1050 Karma
NOTE: When opening Kodan Caches you may get as a drop. You will need a total of 100 of these to craft the legendary spear. But since they aren’t account-bound you can directly skip this and purchase them from the Trading Post.
- Refined Homestead Materials
You are required to get refined materials from your Homestead. There are three types of these, Fiber, Wood and Metal.
You will need a minimum of 250 of each and a maximum of 1500. Doing the story you will receive for free a starter chest with 120 of each, but for the rest of them you will need to go inside your Homestead and trade materials to create these.
NOTE: Only 250 are mandatory, the rest can be skipped with gold. Making these have a weekly limit but it is possible to buy upgrades to increase this limit.
- 250
- Refined at the Homestead Refinement_Metal Forge station
- 100 weekly limit, every upgrade increases by 100
- Refined at the Homestead Refinement_Metal Forge station
- 250
- Refined at the Homestead Refinement_Farm station
- 100 weekly limit, every upgrade increases by 100
- Refined at the Homestead Refinement_Farm station
- 250
- Refined at the Homestead Refinement_Lumber Mill station
- 100 weekly limit, every upgrade increases by 100
- Refined at the Homestead Refinement_Lumber Mill station
Optionally, 1250 of each of these materials can be used to purchase 250 from Deft Lahar at your Homestead. You will need these later in the process to make the legendary spear. The Adept Handiworker Crafting (Homesteading) mastery is necessary to buy these items from this NPC.
However, these Shards of Homestead can be purchased on the trading post directly, so it is your call if you want to wait the weekly limits to save some gold. I personally recommend to buy these.
- Amalgamated Rift Essences
To craft the 12 needed for the legendary spear, purchase the recipe from Vallen the Subtle at the Moon Camp Covert. You will need a total of:
- 3000
- 1200
- 600
- 600
NOTE: Alternatively instead of crafting, you can purchase these directly from Ward Crafter Lucirae in Moon Camp Covert with an extra cost.
You can obtain these essences by doing rifts and convergences. Doing the Mount Balrior Convergence will provide you with these as well. Make sure to check the guide here: Mount Balrior Convergence Guide.
Convergences and Rifts from SotO will also give essences, for more information in that check the Rift Hunting and Convergences Guide. At the end of the guide there will be some tips on how to approach the essences farm with an efficient but casual routine which will also help with the making of the Obsidian Legendary Armor.
- Mystic Clovers
You will need a total of 38 . There are many ways to obtain these, check the following list and choose the one you prefer.

You will need to play a considerable amount of World vs World until you complete the Gift of Battle Reward Track. The time required for this will depend on how fast you can progress the track depending your rank, team activity, etc, because the skirmish reward system (pips) will award reward track progress as well.
- Research Notes
A total of 2500 Research Notes are needed, and these can be obtained in two ways.
The first way is using a to salvage items that were crafted and have the Research salvage type. You can buy these kits from vendors in End of Dragons maps and at Master Jewelers. It is possible to change stats on ascended armor and weapons via the Mystic Forge and then salvage them for notes as well.
The other way is to produce Research Notes directly from crafting stations without needing a kit. You will have an option to convert the outcome into Research Notes automatically. Check the videos below as an example of how you can get them:

- Other requirements
The following will also be needed during the process, keep this in mind to avoid being stuck in one step.
- Crafting profession level 500 – Weaponsmith
- 250
- 2
- 6
- 250
- 50
NOTES:
- The most common way to obtain Essences of Luck is by salvaging Fine, Masterwork, or Rare quality pieces of gear (blue, green, yellow gear). Another alternative is salvaging . These essences of luck have different rarity and must be upgraded into exotic through Artificer crafting profession but Ward Crafter Lucirae also offers the upgrade with an extra cost.
- For the Ball of Dark Energy you need to salvage a piece of ascended equipment using a . Trinkets have a low chance but from weapons and armor pieces the output is guaranteed.
- Vision Crystals can be created with a lvl 500 crafting profession but Ward Crafter Lucirae will also offer the option to craft the materials for you.
- The Spirit Shards can be obtained through normal experience by completing a level once you hit the max level 80 and other sources.
- The Obsidian Shards can be obtained from various ways, but it is recommended to get them with Karma from Tactician Deathstrider at Straits of Devastation. The vendor is only available after completing the Temple of Balthazar meta event or while the area is under The Pact control (uncontested waypoint)
