The odds

- Laboratory treasure pile (tier 10): 1.7% of eligible pieces roll Legendary; this record is from 1 in 1.4 to 1 in 2.4 of those, by base piece; about 0.7% to 1.2% per piece
- Dragon's den treasure pile (tier 18), a place of another family: 2.9% of eligible pieces roll Legendary; this record is from 1 in 3 to 1 in 4 of those, by base piece; about 0.73% to 0.98% per piece

How it drops
Where it drops
There is no monster that carries Archmage's Loop and no chest that holds it. A piece of jewellery drops first (any piece of jewellery), and if that piece rolls Legendary on the ladder, the game picks one named record that fits it. Records found among spell-casting sources weigh five to one, so Archmage's Loop is far likelier from the places listed here. Any weapon, armour or jewellery in any corpse or treasure pile can be rolled, so a source of another family can still give it, at the lower odds shown on the last line.
Getting the base piece
A piece has to drop before it can be Legendary. These come from the loot tables (see Loot tables) and from what a foe carries. The odds above are per eligible piece, at Luck 50, with no finders. Luck, Foxglove and a long dry spell multiply them, as the Item rarity page explains.
Loot rarity is on by default and forced on online. A Legendary is the second rung from the top of the ladder (Common, Magic, Rare, Legendary, Aetheric, Artifact, Gilded). Its bonuses are fixed; only its condition varies. Foes of its family drop it five times as readily as any other.
