Straight answers
Where does the Legend bite in 1.6?
The mountain lake, on a rainy day in spring, at fishing level 10. The bobber has to sit at least 4 tiles from land. A Training Rod cannot hook it. That fix is from 1.6. Iridium quality has been possible since 1.4.
What does a Legend sell for?
With no profession, normal is 5,000g, silver is 6,250g, gold is 7,500g, and iridium is 10,000g. Fishing XP is 195, 210, 225, and 255 at those qualities. The 195 already includes the ×5 legendary factor. Fisher adds 25% to the price. The Angler profession adds 50%.
Can a Legend go in a fish pond?
Yes, from 1.6.9. The pond holds one and cannot be expanded. The only output is roe. 1.6.13 made that roe rarer. 1.6.15 made it show up more often. The pond still holds one fish.
Sprite
The Legend is a crowned legendary fish. Base price is 5,000g. The listed base XP is 195, and that number already includes the ×5 legendary factor.
Catch
It can be hooked once per save, or once per player in multiplayer. Challenge Bait keeps all three only when the fish never leaves the bar. Panning with the Fisher enchantment can also produce one, in the right tiles, if you have not already caught it on a line.
You do not need the other legendary fish first. Magic Bait ignores the spring and rain limits and still requires this lake, the level, and the distance. A fish pond holds one Legend and cannot be expanded. The pond produces only roe.
See Legend II for the extended-family fish in the same lake.

Price and the 1.6 changes
1.4 stopped the Legend from being caught more than once per save and added iridium quality. 1.5 added the Curiosity Lure, which raises the hook chance from 10% to 20%.
1.6 stopped the Training Rod from hooking legendary fish. Challenge Bait can keep three on a perfect catch. A pan with the Fisher enchantment can still produce one if you have not already caught the Legend on a line. The first reading of Jewels of the Sea gives treasure chests a 25% chance to hold 1-6 roe of the fish you just caught.
A fish pond has held one Legend since 1.6.9, and the pond produces only roe. 1.6.13 cut how often that roe appeared. 1.6.15 made it appear more often. The capacity is still one.
Base price with no profession is 5,000g, then 6,250g silver, 7,500g gold, and 10,000g iridium. Fisher adds 25%. The Angler profession adds 50%.
