WOW Forever Legacy Talents - WOW Forever Legacy Points Calculator

WoW Forever's Legacy talents are the account-wide perks you buy with Legacy points, in three Legacy trees that sit next to your class talents. This page is a Legacy talents list and a WoW Forever Legacy points calculator in one: every Legacy talent with its cost and what each rank does, the point gates in each tree, where all 65 Legacy points come from, how many one character can earn on its own, and four ready-made 16-point builds you can copy. If you're new to the system, our Legacy system explained article covers the basics and the rewards.

Everything below about the Legacy talents themselves - names, ranks, costs, gates and tooltip text - is read from the WoW Forever beta client's own data files (build 1.60.1.70425), not from screenshots or memory. Blizzard can still tune these before or after launch, so if a number in game differs from ours, the game is right.

WoW Forever Legacy points calculator: how the numbers work

There are three numbers to know. Blizzard explains the first: “Each challenge completed earns you one Legacy Point.” At launch there are 65 Legacy challenges, so your account can earn up to 65 Legacy points. The second number is the cap: each character can spend up to 16 Legacy points in its own trees. The third is the size of the trees: every Legacy tree has seven Legacy talents worth 23 points if you max them all, so no character can fill even one tree at launch.

The points are shared, not used up. Every character on the account gets the same total to spend, so your main and an alt can both have 16 points in completely different trees. Spending points on one character never takes them from another.

• Legacy points on your account: one per challenge you've completed, up to 65 at launch.
• Legacy points per character: your account total, up to a cap of 16 at launch.
• Points to max one Legacy tree: 23 (seven talents), so 16 points always leaves something out.
• Points to max all three trees: 69.

Where all 65 Legacy points come from

The game files group the 65 challenges into five sets. Each is worth one Legacy point:

• Classes - 27 points: reach level 25 (Novice), 45 (Experienced) and 60 (Master) for the first time on each of the nine classes. That's 3 points per class.
• Crafting - 18 points: reach 150 (Journeyman), 225 (Expert) and 300 (Artisan) skill for the first time in Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking and Tailoring. That's 3 points per profession. Mining, Herbalism, Skinning and the secondary skills have no Legacy challenges.
• PvP - 12 points: five Honor ranks, Exalted with four battleground factions, and three weeks of the Field of Honor Journey.
• Dungeons and raids - 6 points: three dungeon sets and three raids.
• Other - 2 points: one questline and the Explore Azeroth achievement.

Here are the PvP challenges exactly as the game describes them:

• Rank 3: Reach the rank of Sergeant in the Player vs. Player Honor System.
• Rank 7: Reach the rank of Knight-Lieutenant or Blood Guard in the Player vs. Player Honor System.
• Rank 10: Reach the rank of Lieutenant-Commander or Champion in the Player vs. Player Honor System.
• Rank 13: Reach the rank of Field Marshal or Warlord in the Player vs. Player Honor System.
• Rank 14: Reach the rank of Grand Marshal or High Warlord in the Player vs. Player Honor System.
• Master of Alterac Valley: Reach exalted reputation with the Frostwolf Clan or Stormpike Guard.
• Master of Arathi Basin: Reach exalted reputation with the Defilers or League of Arathor.
• Master of Warsong Gulch: Reach exalted reputation with the Warsong Outriders or Silverwing Sentinels.
• Master of Darkspear Islands: Reach exalted reputation with the Darkspear Raiders or Theramore Expeditionary Force.
• Field of Honor: Week 4: Complete Week 4 of the Field of Honor Journey.
• Field of Honor: Week 7: Complete Week 7 of the Field of Honor Journey.
• Field of Honor: Week 10: Complete Week 10 of the Field of Honor Journey.

The dungeon and raid challenges, and the other two:

• Conqueror of the Lair: Defeat Onyxia.
• Novice Spelunker: Complete the following dungeons.
• Experienced Spelunker: Complete the following dungeons.
• Master Spelunker: Complete the following dungeons.
• Conqueror of the Wilds: Defeat the following encounters in Hyjal Summit.
• Conqueror of the Deeps: Defeat the following encounters in the Barrow Deeps.
• Lord Valthalak Laid to Rest: Complete the questline beginning with An Earnest Proposition, and ending with Saving the Best for Last.
• Explorer: Have a character with the Explore Azeroth achievement.

The client lists the three Spelunker challenges simply as "Complete the following dungeons" - the dungeon lists themselves aren't in the text we can read, so check the challenge in game to see which dungeons each set needs.

How many Legacy points can one character earn?

You don't need alts to fill your 16 points. One character can only level its own class and only learn two primary professions, but everything else is open to it. Here's the most one character can earn by itself at launch:

• Its class: 3 points (levels 25, 45 and 60).
• Two crafting professions to 300: 6 points. Two gathering professions earn nothing, so a crafter earns more here.
• PvP: 12 points, if you go all the way to rank 14.
• Dungeons and raids: 6 points.
• Other: 2 points.
• Total: 29 points - well over the 16-point cap.

That matches what Blizzard has said about the system: one character can reach the cap on its own, and alts are a way to earn points faster rather than a requirement. The full 65 needs every class to 60 and all six crafting professions to 300 across your account, plus everything else.

A Legacy points plan for your first 16 points

If you want a full 16 Legacy points as soon as possible without PvP ranks or raiding, here's one way to count to it. It's an example, not the only route:

• Level your main to 60: 3 points (running total 3).
• Take two crafting professions to 300 on it: 6 points (9).
• Explore the whole world for Explore Azeroth: 1 point (10).
• Clear the three Spelunker dungeon sets: 3 points (13).
• Defeat Onyxia: 1 point (14).
• Level an alt of another class to 45: 2 points (16).

Your first Legacy point unlocks the system - usually that's your first character reaching level 25. From then on, every alt that reaches 25 adds a point to every character you have.

WoW Forever Legacy talents: the three Legacy trees

Each Legacy tree has seven Legacy talents plus two empty slots marked "To be added in a future update". Some talents are gated: you need 5 or 10 points in that tree before you can buy them, and a few also need the talent before them. The gates are the most important thing to plan around with only 16 points, because a 10-point gate means most of your points go into that tree.

Adventure tree Legacy talents

The Adventure tree is the levelling tree. Its talents speed up rested XP, give you talent points earlier and refill your health and mana between pulls - all things that matter most on a fresh character.

• Well Rested (5 ranks, 5 points): at rank 1, your rested experience accumulates 4% faster and your rested experience cap is increased by 4%. At rank 5, your rested experience accumulates 20% faster and your rested experience cap is increased by 20%.
• Thrill of Adventure (5 ranks, 5 points): at rank 1, you gain 1% of your maximum Health and Mana over 10 sec each time you deliver the killing blow to a non-trivial enemy. Ineffective in dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds. At rank 5, you gain 5% of your maximum Health and Mana over 10 sec each time you deliver the killing blow to a non-trivial enemy. Ineffective in dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds.
• High Alert (2 ranks, 2 points; 5 points in Adventure first): at rank 1, increases your ability to detect nearby targets with Stealth as if your level were increased by 1. Ineffective in Battlegrounds. At rank 2, increases your ability to detect nearby targets with Stealth as if your level were increased by 2. Ineffective in Battlegrounds.
• Talented (5 ranks, 5 points; 5 points in Adventure first; needs Well Rested): at rank 1, you gain talent points every level starting at level 9 instead of starting at level 10, but you still may not have more than 51 total talent points. At rank 5, you gain talent points every level starting at level 5 instead of starting at level 10, but you still may not have more than 51 total talent points.
• Field Guide (3 ranks, 3 points; 5 points in Adventure first): at rank 1, reduces your cooldown on adding Camp features by 8% At rank 3, reduces your cooldown on adding Camp features by 25%

• Frequent Flier (1 rank, 1 point; 10 points in Adventure first; needs Field Guide): You receive a 50% discount on all flight paths, and your flight path mount flies 20% faster.

Professions tree Legacy talents

The Professions tree is for crafting, gathering and gold. It works with WoW Forever's new Scarce materials and Merchant's Favor crates - our professions guide explains those.

• Performance Bonus (3 ranks, 3 points; 5 points in Professions first; needs Bountiful Harvest): at rank 1, you have a 5% chance to receive 100% increased Merchant's Favor when you turn in a crate to the Azeroth Commerce Authority or Durotar Supply and Logistics. At rank 3, you have a 15% chance to receive 100% increased Merchant's Favor when you turn in a crate to the Azeroth Commerce Authority or Durotar Supply and Logistics.

It's an ability you use, not a passive: 25 sec cast | 23 hour cooldown.

Legacy talents worth calculating: what the numbers mean

A few Legacy talents are easier to judge with the maths done for you.

Talented. Normally you get your first class talent point at level 10 and your 51st at 60. Talented moves the first point earlier by one level per rank, and you still stop at 51. So at rank 5 you start at level 5, have 5 extra talent points at every level from 10 to 55, and reach all 51 points at level 55 instead of 60. Here's the talent point calculator for a few levels (the number of class talent points you have):

• Level 10: 1 points at rank 0, 2 points at rank 1, 4 points at rank 3, 6 points at rank 5
• Level 15: 6 points at rank 0, 7 points at rank 1, 9 points at rank 3, 11 points at rank 5
• Level 20: 11 points at rank 0, 12 points at rank 1, 14 points at rank 3, 16 points at rank 5
• Level 30: 21 points at rank 0, 22 points at rank 1, 24 points at rank 3, 26 points at rank 5
• Level 40: 31 points at rank 0, 32 points at rank 1, 34 points at rank 3, 36 points at rank 5
• Level 50: 41 points at rank 0, 42 points at rank 1, 44 points at rank 3, 46 points at rank 5
• All 51 points: at level 60 with no ranks, 59 at rank 1, 57 at rank 3 and 55 at rank 5.

Well Rested. Five ranks make your rested XP build up 20% faster and raise the rested cap by 20%. It only helps when you've logged out somewhere rested, so it's worth more to players who level in short sessions.

Thrill of Adventure. At rank 5 every killing blow on a non-trivial enemy gives you back 5% of your health and mana over 10 seconds. Three quick kills is 15% back, which adds up to a lot less eating and drinking while you quest. It doesn't work in dungeons, raids or battlegrounds.

Frequent Flier. One point for half-price flight paths and 20% faster flights - but it sits behind a 10-point gate and needs Field Guide, so it really needs 11 points in the Adventure tree. The game data lists Field Guide as its requirement without saying how many ranks; our builds below max Field Guide to be safe.

Reagent Economy. One point and your class abilities no longer need vendor reagents. It also sits behind a 10-point gate and needs The Quick and the Dead, so plan the whole Resourcefulness build around it.

Dedicated Study. The only Legacy talent you use rather than a passive: a 25-second cast on a 23-hour cooldown that adds 1 skill to your lowest primary or secondary tradeskill. Once your two primaries and all three secondaries are at 300, it gives 2 to 4 random Elemental Essences instead, every day.

Best Legacy talent builds: four 16-point builds

These builds all spend exactly 16 points, respect every gate in the data, and max any talent that another one requires. You can put points in more than one tree, so mix them if your plans are different.

Changing your Legacy talents

Because the points are shared and capped per character, you can give each character a different build. According to warcraft.wiki.gg, you open the Legacy window with the Y key or the Legacy button on the micro menu, and you can reset a character's Legacy talents at a class trainer. Blizzard also plans new challenges, Legacy talents and rewards with future content - the empty slots in each tree are where new talents will go - so expect the 16-point cap and the 65-point total to change.
