ArchivesHow to make an awesome Legendary ItemIt takes work and planning to make an awesome Legendary Item (LI). There is a lot to figure out. As you are levelling, you will have many opportunities to try different things with your LIs. The good news is that if you do something “wrong”, you won’t be stuck with it long, since you will outlevel your LIs the same way you outlevel your other gear. For example, the best level 65 first age LI with highest-tier legacies and crystals won’t be as good as an average level 75 third age LI. (Historically, when the level cap was raised, the new higher-level gear would be much better than the previous best). One thing you’ll need to plan is when it is worth it to spend the time and resources to make a new LI. If you’re racing to level cap, don’t worry about making a 20% better LI until you get there, since you won’t be using it for long. Also, because higher level scrolls and relics cost so much more than lower level ones, if you make some mistakes at lower levels, you aren’t wasting very much in the long run.

There are a lot of details and things to be figured out. This note will address one aspect of them. LIs accumulate Item Experience (IXP) as you defeat mobs and perform quests. They go up levels until they reach level 60. For the LIs you equip, each level gives you more Legacy Points to spend to improve the bonuses they confer. You can use a scroll of delving to increase the max to 70, giving you more Legacy Points. When you deconstruct a LI, you get relics as well as some IXP back and a legacy scroll you can use to replace a legacy on another LI. There are many details to consider for the LIs you equip and use. For this note, only IXP and the relics produced when LIs are deconstructed are important. Composting Legendary Items“Compost LIs” is the term I use for the garbage LIs that you pick up as mob drops (or perhaps buy from the AH from people who got dropped a LI for a different class) or craft from common mats. The goal is to produce relics and shards that can be used to improve other LIs. By “composting” LIs, you turn “garbage” LIs into “fertilizer” for the LIs you use....
