Base-Items for Legendaries

This is not a guide for creating legendary items, but a few things may be mentioned:
With Level 60 (after you did some stuff for your covenant and rescued the rune carver) and when you reached Skill 100 in Tailoring, Leatherworking, Blacksmithing or Jewelcrafting, the Runecarver will give you a quest.

• The Vessels of Metal – Blacksmithing
• The Vessels of Jewels  – Jewelcrafting
• The Vessels of Leather and Bone – Leatherworking
• The Vessels of the Thread – Tailoring

You can finish this quest with your profession trainer in Oribos and learn the basic items rank 1 for your profession. Each basic has 4 ranks that will set the Legendary’s Itemlevel at the end. Of course, each rank requires more materials, but the item level will also increase. You have to work your way through these ranks first. Each rank requires 75 experience points before you can learn the next rank. The higher the rank of the item you create, the more experience you gain.

• Rank 1: Item level 190 – 5 experience points per craft
• Rank 2: Item level 210 – 10 experience points per craft
• Rank 3: Item level 225 – 15 experience points per craft
• Rank 4: Item level 235

This means you have to craft a rank 1 item 15 times to get rank 2.
Rank 2 items must be made 8 times. Rank 3 “only” 5 more times.

The numbers on the base item do not reflect the item level the Legendary will have at the moment (13.11.20).
However, the tooltip of the following items gives you information about the cost of production.
