Legacy in WoW Forever: the fastest 16 points

A single character can earn 29 of the 65 points without an alt:

PvP is the biggest pool: five ranks (3, 7, 10, 13 and 14), Exalted with each of the four battleground factions, and the journey's tasks for weeks 4, 7 and 10. It is also the slowest, since ranks and the journey both move week by week.

The challenges a main can't repeat, an alt can. Two sources make alts the quickest way to 16:

• A new class to 25 is a point, and to 45 another. Nine classes means nine points at 25 and nine more at 45. And an alt levels with every perk your account has already earned.
• Each crafting profession counts separately. There are six of them, each worth points at 150, 225 and 300. Your main takes two; alts can take the other four to 150 and 225 for eight more points.

The order is flexible: any mix of class milestones and crafting ranks gets there. Your crafting alts pay for themselves, since the materials they gather and the goods they make feed your main.

Perks are bought one rank at a time, so spend each point the moment you earn it. Each tree has its own gates: a perk that needs 5 or 10 points counts only the points spent in its own tree, and a prerequisite must be at its maximum rank. Respec your perks at a class trainer when your plans change.

3. Thrill of Adventure to 5/5 (11 to 15): health and mana back after every kill in the open world.

Take your main's build for its goal and give each alt its own: a gathering alt on the gold build makes the gold that pays for your main's professions. The full perk list, the endgame and PvP builds and the reward track are in the Legacy system guide.

Your spend cap stops at 16 for now, but your earned total keeps counting. The Legacy rewards unlock from that total: a toy at 15 points, a pet at 25, a tabard at 40 and the Spectral Bear mount at 55. Every point you earn after 16 also leaves you ready for when the cap rises. Track your challenges in the Legacy planner.
