Legacy

In game, press Y to open it (default key binding).

A new account-wide system: complete challenges, spend the points in each character’s own trees, and unlock rewards with your total.

  1. 1
    Earn points

    Each Legacy challenge pays out the first time any character on your account completes it. The launch challenges are worth 65 points; the Legacy panel opens when your first character reaches level 25.

  2. 2
    Spend them

    Every character spends the account’s points in its own trees, up to 16 at launch. Points your Warrior spends are still there for your Mage.

  3. 3
    Collect rewards

    Rewards follow the total your account has earned, not what you spent, so points beyond 16 still count.
