Is it possible to craft Legendary Items?

[monitorman]

Greetings.

I'm not playing the Beta, but am gearing up for the DIII release by reading as much as I can.

I see that a player is given stats of how a lesser Legendary item would break down upon "salvaging". This sometimes includes "Legendary Crafting Material".

Will a player's blacksmith be able to craft high-end legendary items? I imagine this would take an extremely high level character. Any idea how much crafting material would be needed?

Thanks.

Yes, there are patterns to find that let you craft legendy items.
A fortune in gold and mats to create, but the item will be worth much more than the investment.

Finding the pattern alone will be a huge achievement I'm sure. I may very well invest some of my early money I make on the market into obtaining these plans, if I can steal them away before people realize how valuable they are.

Not all crafters will have these plans to start with, so those that do will make a killing on the gold or RMAH.
