Wowhead launches Legacy System calculator for WoW Forever
Wowhead has launched a Legacy System calculator for World of Warcraft: Forever, letting players experiment with the three Legacy Trees before release. The calculator currently reflects the confirmed launch spending cap of 16 points per character.
Legacy calculator now available
Wowhead has launched a Legacy System calculator for World of Warcraft: Forever, giving players an early way to experiment with the new progression system before the game launches on November 4. The calculator covers the three announced Legacy Trees and currently limits builds to 16 spent points, matching Blizzard's confirmed launch cap. https://www.wowhead.com/forever/news/wow-forever-legacy-system-calculator-now-live-382903
Planning three Legacy Trees
Legacy Points can be invested in Professions, Adventure and Resourcefulness. The trees offer benefits tied to the journey through Azeroth, including increased rested experience, improved gathering returns and ways to reduce reagent requirements. Blizzard says Legacy Points are shared across a player's characters, while each character can allocate those available points independently. https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24303313
A 16-point limit at launch
Blizzard has confirmed that each character will initially be able to spend up to 16 Legacy Points, although players can continue completing challenges and earn up to 65 points at launch. Points earned beyond the spending cap still contribute toward the Legacy Reward Track and its cosmetic and prestige rewards. The cap is intended to limit pressure on players and reduce the disadvantage for those starting later. https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24303313
The system will expand
The 16-point calculator should be treated as a planning tool for the currently announced launch rules rather than a permanent picture of Legacy progression. Blizzard plans to expand the system over time with new challenges, perks, higher spending caps, additions to existing trees and potentially entirely new trees. Wowhead also says its calculator may gain controls for different point limits as beta testing provides more information. https://www.wowhead.com/forever/news/wow-forever-legacy-system-calculator-now-live-382903
Beta could still change the details
The calculator arrives before the Forever beta, so individual perks, values and other implementation details should not be treated as final until they can be checked against current beta or release builds. The confirmed structure from Blizzard is three initial trees, account-shared Legacy Points with per-character allocations, a 16-point launch spending cap and up to 65 earnable points at launch. https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24303313
