There is absolutely no point in the book system at all if it is impossible to craft legendary gear. I can buy blue stuff from the trader long before I can craft it. I am on day 42. I have looted so many clothing containers that I have 200 armor parts and 200 sewing kits in a box. I have sold at least as many over of both to the traders.

Ah dang it! I see what's happening.

The loot boost with the tags armorLightSkill, armorMediumSkill, and armorHeavySkill are simply pushing the legendary parts out of the way due to their low probability when the armor parts loot list is rolled.

With so many perks, tags, and other moving parts under the hood, it was an easy oversight.

I'll add the armor perk tags to the legendary parts as it seems to solve the issue.
I'll also update the localization to talk about all of the items boosted by the armor perks.
Looks like only the medium armor perk mentions it right now.

Will make sure it...
