## How talents work

1. **Your first talent point comes at level 10.** The trees keep their familiar structure.[^1]
2. **One-point milestone talents** come at 11, 21 and 31 points, and a new one at 16.[^1]
3. **To change talents**, Legacy talents included, visit a class trainer in one of the major cities.[^1]
4. **Dual specialization** opens at level 40, so you can keep two builds.[^1]

Talents that used to give other players a key buff, such as Divine Spirit, Blessing of Kings and Improved Mark of the Wild, are now baseline for their classes, so you don’t spend points on them.[^2] Some old talents are baseline abilities now too. Consecration, for one, is learned by every Paladin at level 20.[^4] Blizzard says abilities and talents may still change.[^1]

## Legacy Perks: talents for your account

Legacy Perks are a second set of talent trees, bought with Legacy Points that your whole account shares.[^3]

- **Unlocking them.** Most players get their first Legacy Point when a character reaches level 25. Reaching 150 in a crafting profession or exploring the whole world map also unlocks the system.[^3]
- **Earning points.** There are 65 Legacy Challenges, one point each, such as reaching level 25, 45 and 60 with each class.[^3]
- **Spending them.** Each character can spend up to 16 points at launch, and one character alone can earn up to 29, so you don’t need alts.[^3]

**The three Legacy Perk trees**

| Tree | Examples of what it does |
| --- | --- |
| Professions | Bountiful Harvest (more scarce resources when gathering), Master Chef, Luremaster and Dedicated Study (a daily boost to skill-ups). |
| Adventure | Well Rested (more rested experience), Talented (talent points up to 5 levels early), Field Guide (shorter camp cooldown) and Frequent Flier (cheaper, faster flights). |
| Resourcefulness | Gourmand (longer food buffs), Diplomat (more reputation) and Reagent Economy (class abilities stop needing bought reagents). |
