WoW Forever (Classic+) Legacy Trees

You unlock Legacy when you earn your first point: usually at level 25, but reaching 150 in a non-gathering primary profession or exploring the entire world map can unlock it too. Open the Legacy menu with Y. A class trainer in a major city handles Legacy talent changes.

Beta testing only

The October 8 build grants all beta players completion of the Legacy Challenge and 16 points for testing. Beta Legacy respecs have a 1-silver floor, with the cost stepping down once per hour. This does not change launch challenge rewards.

Classes — 27 points

Reach levels 25, 45 and 60 with each of the nine classes.

Tradeskills — 18 points

Reach 150, 225 and 300 skill in each non-gathering primary profession.

PvP — 12 points

Reach ranks 3, 7, 10, 13 and 14; reach Exalted with each of four Battleground reputations; and complete the week 4, 7 and 10 Field of Honor PvP Season’s Journey quests.

Adventure — 2 points

Explore the entire world map on one character and complete the Lord Valthalak dungeon set questline.

Dungeons — 3 points

Defeat the final boss of every dungeon in each level band: 15–25, 26–45 and 46–60.

Raids — 3 points

Defeat Onyxia, all 13 Hyjal Summit bosses and all 8 Barrow Deeps bosses.

Spent separately — 16 points per character

Your Battle.net account shares earned points across non-Hardcore characters, but each character spends independently. One character can earn up to 29 points, so alts are not required to reach the 16-point launch spending cap.

Account rewards

Earned points also unlock the Replica Ironforge Air Rifle, Spectral Bear Cub, Spectral Bear Tabard and Reins of the Spectral Bear. These do not raise the character spending cap.

Hardcore progression

Hardcore arrives after launch. Challenges earned there also unlock in other rulesets; non-Hardcore progression does not carry into Hardcore. Blizzard plans 12 Hardcore-specific challenges to replace PvP challenges.

The launch challenges, access requirements, rewards and Hardcore rules are described in the official Legacy system overview.

Pick the activities you spend time on before committing your 16 points. Each perk links to its rank-1 summary below; use the calculator to compare higher ranks and check what fits after spending on prerequisites.

Deeper perks require 5 or 10 points spent in their tree, and some have another perk as a prerequisite. Count those points as part of the build. Your leveling alt and raiding main can spend the same account's points differently.

High Alert does not work in battlegrounds. Thrill of Adventure and Field Medicine do not work in dungeons, raids or battlegrounds. Check those restrictions before spending points for an activity where the perk will be inactive.

Blizzard plans more challenges, perks, rewards and eventually new trees, but has not set future spending caps or a release schedule. Hardcore is not available at launch; its planned progression includes 12 replacement challenges for the unavailable PvP challenges.
