World of Warcraft: Forever has 65 Legacy challenges in six categories, and each one earns a Legacy point for your whole Battle.net account. At launch, every character can spend up to 16 of those points in three perk trees, and Blizzard says one character can earn all 16 without alts. Below: what each category asks, from the beta client (build 1.60.1.70009), and what a first character picks up on the way to 60.
How Legacy points work
The system opens with your first point: for most players, when their first character reaches level 25, though 150 in a crafting profession or a fully explored world map also counts. Points belong to the account and serve all its non-Hardcore characters, and each character spends them independently.
They go into three trees: Professions, Adventure and Resourcefulness. One perk per tree (Dedicated Study, Frequent Flier or Reagent Economy) needs 10 points spent in that tree, so a character can reach one of them, never two. Try a split in our Legacy planner.
The 65 challenges, category by category
- Classes (27): Novice, Experienced and Master for each of the nine classes, the first time a character of that class reaches 25, 45 and 60. A second Warrior adds nothing.
- Tradeskills (18): Journeyman, Expert and Artisan, at 150, 225 and 300 skill, in Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking and Tailoring. Herbalism, Mining, Skinning, Cooking, First Aid and Fishing earn nothing.
- Dungeons (3): Novice Spelunker lists 6 dungeons, from Ragefire Chasm or the Hall of Thanes to Excavation Site: Wetlands; Experienced Spelunker 10, each Scarlet Monastery wing counted separately; Master Spelunker 17, up to Scholomance, Stratholme and Dire Maul. Our dungeons and raids guide has the full lists.
- Raids (3): Conqueror of the Lair (Onyxia), plus all 13 encounters of Hyjal Summit and all 8 of the Barrow Deeps, the two new raids; Blizzard says new raids unlock on December 9.
- Player vs. Player (12): Honor ranks 3, 7, 10, 13 and 14, from Sergeant to Grand Marshal or High Warlord; exalted with your side in Alterac Valley, Arathi Basin, Warsong Gulch and Darkspear Islands, a new 15-versus-15 battleground with no date yet; and weeks 4, 7 and 10 of the Field of Honor, the PvP season's journey.
- Adventure (2): Explorer, for a character with Explore Azeroth (every zone map of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor uncovered on that one character), and Lord Valthalak Laid to Rest, the dungeon set questline from An Earnest Proposition to Saving the Best for Last.
