Legacy system

Legacy is Forever's account-wide progression. Challenges anywhere on the account award Legacy Points; every character spends the same points in three trees (Adventure, Resourcefulness, Professions). 16 points are available at launch, more arrive with each content update, and the trees are respecced for free. The talent calculator has the trees with every tooltip; this page lists the challenges that pay the points and the perks most people take first.
