Legacy Adds Account-Wide Progression to Forever

What happened

Blizzard describes Legacy as horizontal progression shared across the account.

Classic progression centers heavily on one character at a time. Forever's Legacy creates account-wide goals, so a player with alts has a different long-term planning question.

The short version

Blizzard introduced an account-wide Legacy system, changing how players weigh exploration and alternate-character activity.

Why players care

A player who enjoys multiple classes may find account-wide goals worth considering, but should not abandon an enjoyable opening route to chase an unverified shortcut.

What changed

• Blizzard describes Legacy as horizontal progression shared across the account.
• The system spans several kinds of activity rather than only one character's level.

Who it affects

Players who expect to level multiple classes or want a broad account progression goal alongside normal leveling.

What you should do

Learn the basic system before optimizing it, and check the current Beta requirements in the official explanation.

Guide impact

The Classic comparison guide calls out Legacy as a system to learn separately from a first-hour route; it does not present unverified optimization shortcuts.
