How to reset talents in WoW Forever, explained (Respec cost, when to dual spec)
WoW: Forever uses a traditional talent system in which players choose a specialisation at Level 10 and allocate points to shape their character’s playstyle. Players can change their choices at a Class Trainer, or unlock a second talent build later, making the costs and timing relevant when planning how to level, join dungeons or take part in PvP.
Players earn one Talent Point per level after unlocking talents, up to 51 points by Level 60; a tree’s capstone talent becomes available at Level 40. The first respec costs 1 Gold, with later respecs rising by 5 Gold each time to a 50 Gold maximum, though Blizzard says the cost decreases once a week. At Level 40, dual specialisation costs 50 Gold and gives a second tree with the same number of points as the first; players may need to weigh that against other purchases, such as 100 Gold Apprentice Riding.
In short
- Talent choices shape a character’s playstyle from Level 10.
- Respecs start at 1 Gold and rise to 50 Gold.
- Dual spec unlocks at Level 40 for 50 Gold.
