How Legacy works

Legacy is an account-wide progression system. Challenges completed on any character earn Legacy Points. Each character spends those points separately in three perk trees, and the total on the account unlocks cosmetic rewards. Alts are not required: every perk can be reached with a single character.

Blizzard's example for one character: 3 from levelling, up to 6 from professions, 12 from PvP, 2 from Adventure and 6 from dungeons and raids. Battle.net account-wide, for all non-Hardcore characters.

Unlocking Legacy

The system unlocks with the first Legacy Point. For most players this is the first character reaching level 25. Reaching skill 150 in a non-gathering primary profession or exploring the entire world map also unlocks it. Open it via the shield icon in the menu or the default key Y.

Legacy planner

Mark the challenges your account has completed, then spend the points on one character. The address keeps the whole plan, so the link is the plan.

Background and open points

About the rewards

The four rewards are official. The point thresholds 15, 25, 40 and 55 come from Wowhead (beta client). Wowhead names the mount at 55; the order of the other three is an assumption and not confirmed.

Legacy and Hardcore

Hardcore is not available at launch. Challenges earned in other rulesets do not appear in Hardcore; challenges earned in Hardcore count for all other rulesets. Hardcore gets 12 own challenges because PvP challenges cannot be done there.
