All 69 ranks are listed below. Spend the 16 you actually get. The link at the top carries the result, and nothing is stored anywhere.
Account-wide progression built for people who level alts. You earn Legacy Points from challenges, every character sees them, and each character spends them independently. Points are shared; choices are not.
69 ranks exist and you may spend 16 of them. Around 65 points are earnable at launch, so most players bank far more than they can use. Blizzard capped it so nobody feels obliged to clear every challenge, and so latecomers are not permanently behind. Legacy is a loadout you rebuild per character, not a bar you fill.
Three allocations that hold up
These are opinions, not datamined truth. The tables below are the facts; this section is where we tell you what we would pick.
16 of 16 points. Everything here works while you level, and the whole 16 goes into one tree because that is the only way to reach a 10-point perk. Swap Thrill of Adventure for Field Guide if you camp often.

0/5 16 of 16 points. Repair bills, buff duration, food uptime. Eleven in Resourcefulness is what buys Reagent Economy; the last five go to rested experience. Nothing here switches off indoors.

Reward track
Points you cannot spend still push a separate cosmetic track:
- 10Replica Ironforge Air Rifle
- 25Spectral Bear Cub
- 40Spectral Bear Tabard
- 55Reins of the Spectral Bear
Blizzard have said this track stays cosmetic and prestige-only. The Spectral Bear mount at 55 is the one people will chase.
