Legendary items are a class of powerful items used in Blaseball that tremendously increase the abilities of their wielder.

The majority of legendary items to date have been the result of blessings granted at the end of a season's elections, and all to date have increased their wielder's relevant stats.

History

Season 1

Max Out Hitter

In Season 1, the Dallas Steaks were awarded with the blessing called Max Out Hitter, described to "max out the hitting stats of a random hitter on [the] team." Steaks hitter Jessica Telephone received this blessing, but Telephone was immediately traded to the Philly Pies due to the Pies receiving the blessing called Steal Best Hitter.

Blaseball fans named Telephone's legendary bat the Dial Tone. This name was made official and included in Blaseball game logs starting in Season 3.

Season 2

Gunblade Bat

The Season 2 elections featured a blessing called the Gunblade Bat, described as: "a random hitter on your team will gain the Gunblade Bat, maxing out their hitting stats." This blessing was awarded to the Hawaii Fridays hitter York Silk.

Fridays fans named Silk's gunblade bat the Vibe Check. This name was made official and replaced the name Gunblade Bat in Blaseball game logs starting after the Season 3 elections.

Literal Arm Cannon

The Season 2 elections also featured a blessing called Literal Arm Cannon. This blessing was awarded to Axel Trololol, who was pitching at the time for the Kansas City Breath Mints. The item was first noted in-game by the item slot following the Season 3 elections.

Season 4

Bangers & Smash

On August 28, 2020, a server error forced the Blaseball Gods to manually repair Days 80-88 of Season 4. When the game reappeared, Hawaii Fridays lineup player Sixpack Dogwalker had assumed the the attributes of Thomas England (whom Dogwalker had previously replaced due to incineration on Day 86). In honor of England, Dogwalker reappeared wielding the legendary bat Bangers & Smash,[1] which increased Dogwalker's hitting stat by 1 star.

Bangers & Smash marks the first time that a legendary item was not granted by a blessing, as well as the first time a legendary item does not automatically max out the wielder's stats.

Grappling Hook

Season 4's elections featured a blessing called Grappling Hook. The Charleston Shoe Thieves won this blessing, and the Grappling Hook was randomly awarded to Richardson Games. Games' baserunning and defense stats were maxed out.

Mushroom

Season 4's elections also featured a blessing called Mushroom, described as making its recipient "BIG." The Mexico City Wild Wings won this blessing, and the item was randomly awarded to José Haley, who promptly became BIG. Haley's vibes were maxed out, hitting increased by 1 star, and baserunning decreased by 2.5 stars.

Season 7

The Iffey Jr

The Iffey Jr is the only known source of permanent, teamwide protection from incineration - but it comes at the cost of "minimizing" a player's stats, giving them a star rating of 0 in every category. It was awarded to Raúl Leal of the Miami Dale, who lost all stars but now protects the team from rogue umpires.

Scorpler's Jacket

This jacket was originally an ordinary Fireproof Jacket blessing in season 5. When Mclaughlin Scorpler won both the jacket and a pair of Noise-Cancelling Headphones, the latter armor replaced the former, causing the jacket to be lost. It resurfaced as Scorpler's Jacket in season 7's blessings. Scorpler perished in Ruby Tuesday before getting a chance to retrieve it, but the jacket was fittingly won by Jesús Koch of the Canada Moist Talkers, the other team to suffer through three incinerations on that day.

The 2-Blood Blagonball

Inky Rutledge earned the 2-Blood Blagonball for pitching a no-hitter. During the season, Yellowstone Magic fans began a campaign to "Let Inky pitch the Blagonball (we would like to see it)," resulting in it being added as an item just prior to the season 7 elections. It currently has no known mechanical effect.

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Origins

Legendary items were forged by Blaseball Gods in response to the fans' collective wishes (and arcade tickets) when the time is right and the grass is green.

The mechanisms behind their increased capability varies from case to case. For example, gunblade bats use an explosive charge to accelerate the bat for extreme power on the swing. Other legendary items seem to have a will of their own, whether through an advanced machine learning processor or a bound spirit.

Recently uncovered records suggest that the original Prime Bat was used to hit the First Pitch. The whereabouts of the Prime Bat are unknown, though rumors speak of a blackened sharp rod in the collection of the The Commissioner.

Notable Events

Season 3

During the Season 3 championship games, it is rumored that the bat Dial Tone carried one final voicemail message from teammate Landry Violence to Jessica Telephone, following the events of Violence's dramatic incineration during the series finals.

Violence's sacrifice giving power to Telephone's Dial Tone is often credited as a key contribution to the Hades Tigers' narrow victory and first championship.
