Legacy SystemVERIFIED

Forever's account-wide progression. Complete challenges to earn Legacy Points, spend up to 16 per character on perks, and unlock cosmetics as your account total grows.

How it works

UNLOCK

With your first point: usually your first character reaching 25. Also by reaching 150 in a crafting profession or exploring the whole map. Open it with the shield icon or Y.

SPEND

Points are account-wide, but each character spends them separately on three trees: Adventure, Professions, Resourcefulness. Cap: 16 per character at launch.

HARDCORE

Challenges done on other rulesets don't count in Hardcore. Hardcore challenges count everywhere. Hardcore gets 12 of its own challenges.

Thresholds per Icy Veins; claim from Innkeeper Wiley in Ratchet.

Can one character reach 16?

Yes. Blizzard counts up to 29 points on a single character: 3 from leveling, up to 6 from two crafting professions, 12 from PvP, 2 from Adventure and 6 from dungeons and raids. Our suggestion for a first leveler: Well Rested 5, Talented 5 in Adventure, then Thrill of Adventure or Field Guide toward Frequent Flier.

PREVIEW
Perk ranks and values are from beta data reported by Icy Veins and may change. Blizzard confirms the perk names, the 65 challenges and the 16-point cap.
