Challenge categories
These categories were shown in the BlizzCon 2026 demo Unconfirmed:
- Exploring
- Leveling Classes
- Increasing Tradeskills
- Earning PvP Ranks
- Maximizing Reputations
- Completing Dungeons and Raids
Blizzard's own examples of challenges are leveling a specific class and reaching a particular skill milestone.
How challenges award Legacy Points
Sources disagree Disputed. Wowhead reports that each challenge awards one Legacy Point. Blizzard Watch, also from the demo, reports that not every challenge grants points and that mostly the larger meta challenges do. This will be settled once challenges can be checked in beta.
Planning challenges across alts
Points are shared across your account, so every alt contributes. Blizzard describes two ways to play: collect points from a wide range of challenges by leveling different classes, or focus on one character and complete deeper challenges. Each character can only spend 16 points at launch, but everything you earn beyond that still advances the Legacy Reward Track.
Keep a roster in the Alt Hub and assign challenges to characters once the list is available. Then spend each character's points in theLegacy Planner. More background: how Legacy Points work.
