They level 70 crafting material for level 70 legendaries. No idea why they drop already. Pender's Purchase is just a "meh" pair of gloves, not particularly awesome. All level 70 legendary/set crafting recipes require such a legendary material; some of them drop only from particular bosses, so once you have the recipe you can farm this one particularly material to craft more of them.
Level 70 legendary crafting needs more materials in general: many level 61+ white materials (Reusable Parts) OR the raw white level 70 item (e.g. "Ascension Bracers"), a legendary ingredient (Forgotten Soul, the 61+ brimstone equivalent), Death's Breath (level 61+ Demonic Essence equivalent), Arcane Dust and Veiled Crystal (new blue and yelloe 61+ material), and some of them even need a top-tier gem.
So not sure if that answers all your questions. Well let me just go through them one by one:
1) These craftable legendaries can only be crafted, of course; you need to find the plan and the ingredients, which involves some RNG luck (esp. the plan) and some of this can be done through targeted farming (some of the legendary ingredients). It's not an "alternative", for every crafted legendary there is only one way to craft them.
2) Not sure how they compare, but the really good sets, I believe, are those that require the top-tier gem. Since those gems require quite a few Marquise gems and about 8.3m gold to craft (combined cost if you go all the way from Marquise), they're quite exclusive, and I never found a combination of all materials, recipe, raw ingredient, and top-tier gem to craft them, let alone craft enough of them to make a generalizable statement as to how good they are compared to the rest. In general I call BS on everyone who makes a verdict within a couple of days or weeks, there were legendaries in D3V that only showed their true value after months.
Thank you for this thread, I was also wondering the same thing about crafting leg mats. I found the same mats you have, and cannot use them. I also found the legendary Griswold plans, but I can't teach the plan to the BS

Then I proceeded to google a bit to find out what was that about, and it seems that some legendaries can (must?) be crafted this way.
Now that raises a question, is it the only way to aquire/craft these legendaries?, or is it just an alternative?.
If these legendaries have their particular way to get them, then they are supposedly better than other pick/plan legendaries?.
Thanks.
