Legendary Weapon
you’ll be fine, once you hit 80 you keep your exp bar and continue to level except you just gain skill points
Thank you, that is very reasuring. :o
You can also obtain skill points with fractal relics. You can trade them in for an item that gives you a skill point when you use it.
Additionally, some of the legendary items used in recipes are account bound rather than soulbound. Which means you could create a character, gather every skill point in the world, buy a bloodstone shard on it, create the gift of mastery with it, then give the gift of mastery back to your first character for whom the legendary is intended.
