WoW Forever Legacy Guide: Plan Account Progression

WORLD OF WARCRAFT: FOREVER / GUIDE 09

Do not turn Legacy into a race to finish every objective at once. Build progress around the activities you already enjoy.

01. Check Your First Unlock

Legacy becomes available when you earn your first point; for many players this is at level 25. Review progress in the interface to identify nearby goals.

02. Separate Earning from Spending

At launch, each character can spend up to 16 points. Completing more challenges does not mean unlimited character perks.

03. Plan Each Character Separately

Account-earned points can be allocated independently on each character. Your main and a gathering-focused character may need different choices.

04. Choose Goals That Fit Your Routine

Prioritise progress in activities you enjoy. Avoid committing every session to content you dislike purely for another point.

05. Create Alts for a Purpose

Try another character when you want a different role or profession plan. Alts are not required to reach the spending cap.

Practical Tip

Choose your next Legacy objective together with the perk it will support. A specific benefit makes progress easier to prioritise.

Beta and Version Note

(Use current descriptions when allocating points. Hardcore has separate progression rules; do not assume points from other characters will carry into it.)
