Forever Legacy System: What Your First 16 Points Mean
Blizzard has detailed the account-wide challenges, character-specific perk trees, launch spending cap, and long-term reward track.

What Blizzard confirmed
- There are 65 launch challenges across classes, tradeskills, PvP, adventure, dungeons, and raids.
- Legacy Points are earned account-wide, but each non-Hardcore character spends them independently.
- Only 16 points can be spent per character at launch, even when the account has earned more.
- The three initial perk trees are Professions, Adventure, and Resourcefulness.
Why this matters for players
Treat Legacy as an account-wide unlock pool with a separate build for every character. At launch, plan each character’s 16 spent points around that character’s role, professions, and usual activities instead of trying to create one universal account build.
