For those that are curious, this provides +25 Order Hall resources when completing World Quests as a Combat Ally, and reduces mission duration by 15%.

What is this item?

One of the first 12 available legendary pieces of Champion Equipment, accompanied by a further 6 added in 7.2. It is a consumable item that when used, can be 'socketed' into one of your Champions' equipment slot to give them the stated bonus during Class Order Hall missions and/or some bonus currency for completing world quests while the Champion is assigned as your combat ally.

This particular item combines the effect of both Pathfinder's Saddle and Fruitful Bauble to give the trait Tome of Secrets.

How do I use this item?

Your Champion must gain experience to be a level 110 blue/'rare' quality follower to unlock their first champion equipment slot, purple/'epic' quality to unlock their second and gilded/'titled' quality to unlock their third. You can then simply right click the item in your inventory and click into any of the blue-highlighted square boxes to permanently 'socket' the item into the champion, identical to how naval equipment worked for the Shipyard in WoD.

Be careful as using any new equipment over a slot will delete the previous one, so if you use a different piece of champion equipment over this legendary, it will be gone.

Where do I get this item?

This and other legendary pieces of champion equipment all have an extremely low (<1%) chance of being looted by any class from any source of champion's equipment such as:

One of the tier 3 order hall research choices is to have a chance to obtain champion equipment (and champion armor) from successful missions for Druid, Monks and Shamans or for every other class, to spend 50 Order Resources to get a piece of champion equipment/armor every 12 hours from work orders.

These have a much higher chance of giving champion equipment rather than armor if your champions are at their maximum item level.

Completing Withered Army Training and looting the final reward chest, Glimmering Treasure Chest.

Potentially higher chance for higher quality equipment at a higher score but unconfirmed.

Any of your Emissary caches can contain champion equipment.
Randomly spawned chests across the broken isles, Elven Treasure Chest, Nightborne Treasure Chest, Vrykul Ancestral Chest and Highmountain Clan Chest all have a chance for champion equipment.
Any of these missions from your Class order hall can randomly spawn with any piece of champion equipment, including the legendary ones.
Additionally, any order hall missions that do spawn with a piece of champion equipment or armor as their primary reward, can also reward a Crate of Champion Equipment or Chest of Champion Equipment for their bonus loot, which gives any of the pieces of champion equipment, with the new Chest of Champion Equipment seemingly only giving equipment that is at least rare quality.
Ingram's Puzzle which costs 50 Curious Coin produces a piece of champion equipment every time it is used, with a 7 day cooldown.

As of 7.2, there is also Worthy Champions which is one of the four potential extra buffs from a constructed Command Center on the Broken shore, gives a Champion Equipment after talking to the guy inside the command center once, each time this particular buff is active in a command center. The box is guaranteed to contain 1 of the newer 6 Legendary follower equipments.

Oh no! I just received this legendary item but it's for my followers, not me, is my bad luck protection screwed?

These are not affected and do not reset your bad luck protection for your regular legendaries. Official confirmation

While there are some shared sources such as the emissary cache and the withered training scenario to obtain both types of legendaries, these are obtained in a fundamentally different way, are not announced in your guild, do not seem to have any higher chance to be obtained via bad luck protection and logically, it would just be ridiculous for this tier of item to eclipse a piece of legendary gear, don't worry!

What are the other available legendary Champion Equipment items?

All the first 12 legendary equipment items are formed of an equivalent epic quality equipment bonus combined with another uncommon quality equipment bonus, and come in 6 pairs where the quality of the bonus is swapped between its components in each pair, detailed as follows:

Legendary equipment	Trait buff	Epic Component	Uncommon Component
Tome of Secrets	Tome of Secrets	Pathfinder's Saddle	Fruitful Bauble
Glacial Fang	Glacial Fang	Elixir of Plenty	Swift Boots
Omen's Bidding	Omen's Bidding	Elixir of Plenty	Well-Worn Stone
Queen's Feathers	Queen's Feathers	Auspicious Fetish	Fruitful Bauble
Potion of Sacrifice	Potion of Sacrifice	Auspicious Fetish	Draught of Courage
Light's Haven	Light's Haven	Potion of Triton	Well-Worn Stone
Nightmare's End	Nightmare's End	Potion of Triton	Swift Boots
Eltrig's Grace	Eltrig's Grace	Pathfinder's Saddle	Draught of Courage
Brooch of Endless Dreams	Brooch of Endless Dreams	Pathfinder's Saddle	Well-Worn Stone
Demon in a Box	Demon in a Box	Auspicious Fetish	Swift Boots
Embers of the Firelands	Embers of the Firelands	Elixir of Plenty	Draught of Courage
Dust of Azeroth	Dust of Azeroth	Potion of Triton	Fruitful Bauble

The next 6 introduced in patch 7.2 are slightly different, while still retaining a mix of two bonuses, they are slightly different from their predecessors;

Legendary equipment	Trait buff	First Component	Second Component
Fel Imp Tooth	Fel Imp Tooth	Auspicious Fetish	Pathfinder's Saddle
Ward of Infinite Fury	Ward of Infinite Fury	Potion of Triton	Elixir of Plenty
Harpy Feather	Harpy Feather	Auspicious Fetish	+15% if countering Hazard
Vial of Sight	Vial of Sight	Auspicious Fetish	+15% if countering Minions
Cloak of Concealment	Cloak of Concealment	Auspicious Fetish	+15% if countering Spell
Pouch of Wonder	Pouch of Wonder	Potion of Triton	Valiant's Glory from each World Quest
Shard of Twisting Nether	Shard of Twisting Nether	Elixir of Plenty	Valiant's Glory from each World Quest

And are any of them really useful?

From the above tables we can see that the first 8 listed all have mutually exclusive bonuses, giving a large bonus to only missions or world quests when assigned as a combat ally and then small bonus to to the other.
In theory, these could perhaps be assigned as a combat ally and used to complete world quests, then remove them to complete missions and reassign them again in the morning, giving it a unique bonus over other equipments. In practice, this is not only tiresome and wastes a bit of resources each day but because the secondary effect is only that of an uncommon piece of equipment, the champion won't be as good as another champion with a good rare or epic quality piece of equipment so generally just isn't worth the effort.

The next 2 offer bonuses that are both active during all missions, which is great, except 5-15% mission time reduction isn't very useful when most valuable missions are very long anyway, and you'll often be wanting to stay above 8 hours to activate the great +15/20/30/40% buffs.

The last 2 of both tables are powerful as both of their bonuses are active when assigned as a combat ally, inarguably better than any lesser quality champion equipment and thus can accumulate a decent amount of gold and resources over time, with the new ones allowing you to acquire additional artifact power that no other equipment can do.

Fel Imp Tooth and Ward of Infinite Fury both combine the two epic quality effects of the previous set's 2 pairs of complimentary bonuses mentioned just above into one, instead of with the uncommon variant, a welcome upgrade. But Fel Imp Tooth still falls into the same pitfall as its predecessor, being a detriment on long missions. However, with 7.2, there appear to more useful <4 hour missions as well as having 3 equipment slots at titled, this could work very well on a specialised short mission countering champion, equipped with other duration shortening equipment and/or +% bonus under four hours, this can become a very useful champion. And with Ward of Infinite Fury, this is just even more additional resources for lucky players.

A final note of their usefulness, made much more prominent with the addition of the third equipment slot, would be that usually you can't equip two of the same pieces of equipment on a single ally, so if you wanted a whopping +45% success chance for all missions on one champion, as well as up to +30% extra depending on secondary counters, you could achieve that by equipping Harpy Feather, Auspicious Fetish and Vial of Sight for example and they would stack quite nicely, though the odds of owning two legendary equipments like this are extremely unlikely. You can also achieve 150g or 300 resources per world quest with a combat ally similarly as well, with a lot of other generally more lucrative combinations just by having one of these legendary equipments.

Overall, most of these 'legendary' items are not even better than epic counterparts, with often poorly itemized and/or exclusionary bonuses with half of their value coming from the fact that you can't pair up two identical equipments on one champion, and often don't feel very legendary to loot. That said, there were still some welcome improvements in 7.2.

Comment by Darkke

The legendary follower equipment they added in the 7.2 patch seems much better planned, with no bodyguard and mission bonuses mixed eg. Queen's Feathers. Also, there is a new type of combat ally bonus granted by two of the equipment pieces: "Grants an Artifact Power token when completing World Quests as a Combat Ally."

New follower equipment in patch 7.2 includes:

Misson Bonuses
Harpy Feather
Vial of Sight
Cloak of Concealment
Fel Imp Tooth

Combat Ally Bonuses
Shard of Twisting Nether
Pouch of Wonder
Ward of Infinite Fury

It seems that folks have reported these dropping from the withered army training resource chest, as well as rewards for ilvl 900 follower missions. I suspect that the command center will provide another way to aquire these via the sometimes available variable buff Worthy Champions.
