Legacy

Account-wide progression for a game whose level cap never rises.

What Legacy means in WoW Forever

Legacy is what you progress toward in Forever once a character is capped. You earn Legacy Points by completing 65 challenges in six categories: exploring, leveling classes to 25, 45 and 60, raising tradeskills, earning PvP ranks, maximizing reputations, and clearing dungeons and raids. Points are account-wide across rulesets (Hardcore excepted), and each character spends up to 16 of them in its own three perk trees, with gates at 5 and 10 points. The panel appears when you earn your first point: a character reaches 25, a non-gathering primary profession hits 150, or you explore the whole world map.
