WOW FOREVER · ACCOUNT PROGRESSION
Legacy
Legacy is Forever's newest feature: perks shared by every character on your account. Earn points by completing challenges on any character, then spend them separately in each character's own trees. That way, each new character levels faster than the last.
How to earn points
| Classes (27) | Reach levels 25, 45 and 60 for the first time with each class. |
|---|---|
| Professions (18) | Reach 150, 225 and 300 in Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking and Tailoring. |
| PvP (12) | Ranks 3, 7, 10, 13 and 14; Exalted with the four battleground reputations; weeks 4, 7 and 10 of the season. |
| Dungeons (3) | Complete every level 15-25 dungeon, every 26-45 dungeon and every 46-60 dungeon. |
| Raids (3) | Kill Onyxia, the 13 bosses of Hyjal Summit and the 8 of Barrow Deeps. |
| Adventure (2) | Complete the world map and the Lord Valthalak quest chain. |
There are 65 points at launch (12 more when Hardcore arrives). A single character can earn 29, but you can only spend 16 per character, so choose. Gathering professions and Cooking give no points. Points can be reset (it cost 10 gold in the beta; not confirmed for launch).
Rewards for the points you earn, spent or not: at 15, the Replica Ironforge Air Rifle toy; at 25, the Spectral Bear Cub pet; at 40, the Spectral Bear Tabard; at 55, the epic Reins of the Spectral Bear mount. You collect them from Wiley the innkeeper in Ratchet. Without the 12 PvP challenges you stop at 53, without the mount. Seen in the beta: Blizzard hasn't published the list.

Where to start
On your first character, Working Overtime: you level professions faster, and they give more points too. On the next ones, Talented and Well Rested make the biggest difference while leveling. For PvP, For Great Honor; if you farm, Bountiful Harvest.
