Tavern Q&A

Your account earns points from Legacy Challenges: Classes 27 + Tradeskills 18 + PvP 12 + Adventure 2 + Dungeons 3 + Raids 3 = 65, shared account-wide. But each character can spend at most 16 — the per-character split is the real decision: a tank picks survival utility, a gatherer picks profession yield.

Fully independent systems. Class talents keep their 51 points (our builds library and simulator work as before); Legacy points are account-wide horizontal progression focused on professions, levelling and reputation — no combat balance impact, so PvP purists can ignore them.

Bountiful Harvest is the Tradeskills gathering node: each of its 5 ranks raises rare material output from Mining, Herbalism and Skinning by 20/40/60/80/100% — maxed, rare mats basically drop double. Mind the gate: Performance Bonus (doubled Merchant's Favor on crate turn-ins) requires Bountiful Harvest at rank 5, so those 5 points are locked in before the bonus unlocks. Must-have for gatherer alts, skippable for combat characters — the full node table lives on the Legacy page.

The blue post does not detail respec mechanics or cost yet; community reports put it at 10 gold at a class trainer (unconfirmed) — in-game behavior at launch governs. Treat the site's Legacy simulator as planning only: 16 points is tight, decide what each character wants before you log in.

Blizzard has not published a time estimate and we will not invent one. Pace comes down to three things: dungeon queues, keeping rested XP topped up, and picking up Legacy challenges along the way (3 leveling + 6 profession points are on the road anyway). A tested speed reference comes after launch.

No need to force it. The two official ones (levels 13-20) are must-runs — verified in beta. Wetlands (26–31) is also open; for the remaining community-listed ones the in-game finder governs. Clearing all level 46-60 dungeon finals is itself a Legacy Challenge (1 point), worth a cleanup pass if you are chasing the 16-point budget.
