## Key points

- Legacy objectives earn account-wide points and perks.
- Perks cover exploration, professions and combat.
- The final Legacy reward requires 55 points.

## Summary

WoW: Forever replaces the usual achievement system with account-wide Legacy progress, where completing objectives earns points that can unlock perks for every character. The system encourages players to explore different parts of the game, and its shared benefits mean progress on one character can help the next.

Players unlock the Legacy System after earning their first point, then access it with the “Y” key or the shield icon. Points can be spent across Adventure, Profession and Resourcefulness branches, which affect exploration, crafting and combat; players can respec, though one perk may require resetting class talents first. Blizzard allows up to 16 points to be spent for a first character, and four exclusive rewards are available, with the final one requiring 55 points.
