System

Legacy system (Legacy Points, Legacy Challenges, Legacy trees, Legacy Reward Track)

Official Updated Sep 28, 2026

Description

Account-wide progression that rewards leveling alts. Points come from Legacy Challenges and are shared by the account, but each character spends them in its own Legacy talent trees.

Details

Legacy Points come from Legacy Challenges in several categories. Icy/theclick report class leveling and profession milestones among them Three trees at launch: Professions, Adventure, Resourcefulness Adventure tree 'Well Rested': more rested XP gained and a higher rested XP cap Professions tree 'Bountiful Harvest': more materials from mining, herbalism and skinning 'Reagent Economy' removes reagent requirements from class abilities (official wording), which makes buffing easier Launch caps: 16 points spent per character, 65 points earnable in total Points earned past the spending cap fill a Legacy Reward Track with cosmetic and prestige rewards, e.g. a Spectral Bear Cub The system is built to grow, and the spending cap is expected to rise later Collections and Legacy Points are shared across the Normal, PvP and RP rulesets. Hardcore is handled separately (see Rulesets) Blizzard Watch reports that the BlizzCon demo showed Legacy Challenges naming raid bosses
