How to Earn Legacy Rewards in WoW: Forever

Earn 55 Legacy Points in World of Warcraft: Forever to unlock the Reins of the Spectral Bear. The earlier rewards are a toy at 15 points, a companion at 25, and a tabard at 40. You progress this track by completing Legacy Challenges across your account. You can keep earning reward progress after your character reaches the 16-point cap for spending on perks.

1. Check the reward you want

Open Legacy Challenges with the shield icon in the game menu. The counter shows how many challenges your account has credited. Pick a reward as your next target and subtract your current total from its threshold. If you have 23 points and want the cub, for example, you’re two completed challenges away.

Blizzard calls the first reward the Replica Ironforge Air Rifle. The reward listing can show it as Holstered Replica Ironforge Air Rifle. If you’re searching the database for the toy, try either name. The cub and the mount are separate rewards. Getting the companion at 25 points leaves you 30 points short of the reins.

2. Turn activities you already do into points

Each completed challenge pays one point. Start by scanning the challenge window for milestones you’re already close to. If your first Mage is level 23, reaching 25 can be a simpler next point than starting an unfamiliar dungeon bracket. If you’re training Tailoring, look at your skill before changing professions. Eligible crafting skills award milestones at 150, 225, and 300, so pushing an existing skill over its next milestone may help more than training a gathering profession for the first time.

Dungeons are worth checking if you have a regular group. Their challenges ask for the final bosses in a whole level bracket. Open the challenge and make a list of the bosses you’re missing before organizing a run. Repeating a dungeon you already have credit for may help you gear up, but it won’t fill a different boss’s entry. PvP offers another route through Honor ranks, battleground reputations, and milestones in the Field of Honor season journey. Choose objectives based on your current progress, since a fresh reputation grind can take much longer than finishing a bracket you’ve nearly completed.

3. Plan beyond one character if you want the mount

Blizzard lists up to 29 points from one character across the launch challenge list, including raid and PvP objectives. That ceiling is above the toy and cub thresholds, but below the tabard and mount. Plan to level additional classes or complete milestones in additional crafting professions if you want to reach the higher rewards.

With 65 listed challenges, the 55-point mount allows you to skip up to ten on the full launch list. That margin makes it possible to leave out individual objectives you dislike, but it won’t cover every point in a 12-point category. Look at the categories together before committing to a route. Some objectives also depend on the rollout of raids and the PvP season, so distinguish a challenge that appears in the list from one you can finish today.

If you’re leveling alts for class points, vary the classes. Raising a second character of a class you already took to 25 won’t give you that class’s level-25 point a second time. Use the challenge window to choose which of your characters is closest to an uncredited milestone. Even an alt you don’t intend to raid with can contribute if it completes a class or crafting challenge your account still needs.

4. Follow the reward prompt once you hit the threshold

Reopen the reward track after your account total reaches the target. Check the unlocked reward’s tooltip for any claim instruction. If the reward still looks locked, confirm you’re reading the account points earned counter, not the points allocated in a character’s perk tree. Spending perks won’t take points away from the reward track. For the distinction between the two counters, see our Legacy Perks guide.
