How it works

1 · Earn

Complete Legacy Challenges

65 challenges in 6 categories: classes, crafting professions, PvP, dungeons, raids and adventure. Each pays one point to the whole account, once.

2 · Spend

Up to 16 points per character

Each character builds its own mix across Professions, Adventure, Resourcefulness from the same account pool; spending on one never costs another.

3 · Collect

Rewards at 15, 25, 40, 55

The track counts points earned, not spent, so rewards keep coming after a character has placed its full build.
