I havent seen anyone collecting legendary qualiti items, not even on youtube. However, the galactic trade center still ofers this as an option. Can an item type be so rare that no one out off thousands of players havent got one yet? No, that is impossible.

 

 

If you HAD looted one of these than can you tell where and how did got it. PLEASE:)

There are legendary items.

One of them is this: https://swtor.askmrrobot.com/gear/50849/crest-of-the-dread-master

Several items with legendary quality mods inside were available in the Grand Acquisitions Race event. They're nothing special, not even for level 50.

I believe the Czerka Crate-O-Matic is also legendary. You can become different type of boxes.

Those stupid Legacy items are Legendary for some reason. I still remember seeing my first glorious gold-and-purple beam emitting from a corpse, picking up something I thought was immensely cool and rare and stuff - only to find out the same thing everyone else already knows about the Legacy gear.

Nah, it's Artifact.

 

Anyway, it doesn't really mean anything.

As for Legacy items, it goes back to WoW's system.
