How to Unlock Legacy
Legacy opens the moment you earn your first Legacy Point. For most players that is when a first character reaches level 25, but you can also get there by reaching 150 in a crafting profession or by exploring the entire world map. Open it from the shield icon on the menu bar or press Y.
No alts required: one character can earn up to 29 points on its own (3 from leveling, 6 from its two crafting professions, 12 from PvP, 2 from Adventure, and 6 from dungeons and raids), well past the 16-point cap. Alts simply get you there faster, and every one of them can spend its 16 points differently.
Plan Your 16 Points
Spend up to 16 points across the three trees. Perks open at 0, 5, or 10 points in their tree, and linked perks need a point in the perk before them. Your plan lives in the page link, so copy it to save or share.

Legacy Collection Rewards
Legacy Points do more than fill the trees: total points earned also unlock a set of collection rewards. All four items are in the game client.
Point thresholds are taken from the final beta client.
| Points | Reward | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 15 | Replica Ironforge Air Rifle | Toy |
| 25 | Spectral Bear Cub | Companion pet |
| 40 | Spectral Bear Tabard | Tabard |
| 55 | Reins of the Spectral Bear | Epic mount, 100% speed |
Legacy and Hardcore
Legacy Points are shared by all of your non-Hardcore characters. Hardcore is not part of launch, and when it arrives it follows its own rules: challenges completed on other rulesets do not carry into Hardcore, while a challenge completed in Hardcore counts on every ruleset. PvP challenges cannot be done in Hardcore, so it will add 12 challenges of its own.
What's Next for Legacy
Blizzard built Legacy to grow. Planned additions include new challenges and perks, more ways to spend points, higher spend caps, new columns in the existing trees, and potentially entirely new trees. Two empty perk slots already sit in each tree, so a plan you make today is a starting point rather than a final answer.
WoW Forever Legacy Common Questions
What is the Legacy system in WoW Forever?
Legacy is an account-wide progression system. Each of the 65 Legacy Challenges gives one Legacy Point shared by every character on your account, and each character spends up to 16 points across 21 perks in its Adventure, Resourcefulness and Professions trees.
How do you unlock Legacy in WoW Forever?
Legacy opens with your first Legacy Point: usually a character reaching level 25, or a crafting profession reaching 150, or exploring the whole world map. Open it from the shield icon on the menu bar or press Y.
How many Legacy Points can one character earn?
Up to 29: 3 from leveling, 6 from two crafting professions, 12 from PvP, 2 from Adventure and 6 from dungeons and raids, well past the 16-point spend cap. Alts only get you there faster; see the fastest 10 Legacy Points.

No. Points are shared by your non-Hardcore characters. Hardcore follows its own rules when it arrives after launch: challenges from other rulesets do not carry in, while a challenge completed in Hardcore counts on every ruleset.
What rewards does Legacy unlock?
Every point your account earns also counts toward the Legacy collection rewards, from a toy rifle up to the Spectral Bear mount. The rewards table on this page lists each one and the points it needs.
