The Legacy system
Legacy is Forever's new account progression. You earn Legacy Points by playing (leveling classes, professions, dungeons, raids, PvP) and spend them on small perks for each character.

How the points work
- Earned once, used everywhere
- Points come from your whole account, but each character spends its own 16. A new alt can use them right away.
- Hardcore is separate
- Points earned on normal rulesets can't be used on Hardcore characters, but Hardcore points can be used everywhere else.
- Mounts come with riding
- In Forever you get the mount when you learn the riding skill, instead of buying it separately.
