Legendary Items Farming

Legendary Item Farming in Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition is known by various other names such as "save-scumming" or "Loot Farming". It is essentially taking advantage of the game's random loot generator system using saved games. 

It is possible to save just before opening chests, trading with vendors or killing bosses. This in a way gives you nearly limitless number of opportunities to try and try again what you did, till you get the items you need.

Legendary Item Farming

• Vendors.
  Vendors through the game can sell legendary items. These items are generally unlocked after you have reached a certain level in the game (appears to be ~Level 5+). These items can be expensive so you want to make sure you find the right one you need. Just save before trading with these merchants, try out the item and if you are unsatisfied, reload the save before you made your purchase and this should spawn a new legendary item with the merchant. 
  
  The vendor's inventory restocks every time you gain a level. So it is a good idea to repeat this process above every time you level up. The level of the items sold is also typically around your party level (±1 level range).
