WoW Forever Legacy Perks

How Legacy points work

Legacy is WoW Forever's reward for levelling more than one character. Completing a Legacy challenge earns one point, and the perks you buy with those points apply to every character on your account. Our Legacy system news post covers the challenges and the cosmetic reward track.

• Perks sit in three trees and many have several ranks; the effects below are the beta client's own tooltip text at each perk's top rank.
• Each character can spend up to 16 Legacy points at launch. Blizzard's Deep Dive panel put the total you can earn at 65 and said more trees are coming.
• Every tree also has two empty slots that the game keeps for future content.
• Talented changes when you get your first talent point, so it matters for planning in the talent calculator: at rank 5 it starts your talent points at level 5 instead of level 10, and the cap stays at 51.
