Last reviewed: October 9, 2026. Beta Legacy respec rules were adjusted to make experimentation easier, but test-phase economics should not be treated as permanent live-game prices.
What matters for this topic
Use the beta window to compare perk combinations rather than defending one static build. If the final cost changes, a flexible plan will age better than a fixed-respec strategy.
Separate account-wide achievements from the points a single character may currently spend. The current beta testing cap is not the same thing as the full long-term challenge pool.
Practical steps
Use the following short plan as a starting point, then adjust it for your character, group and the current test build. A good decision should be repeatable and easy to review when the next update changes the rules.
- Record a build before reallocating points.
- Test one major perk change at a time.
- Compare gold costs after the current patch.
- Save links to useful configurations for later review.
What can go wrong?
Avoid treating a visible future perk as already unlocked. Challenge acquisition and character allocation are separate. After a patch, confirm information in the client instead of reusing a screenshot or price estimate from an earlier test.
Frequently asked question
Should I spend every available Legacy point immediately?
No. Reserve points when a later perk would be more useful and distinguish total account-earned progress from your character spending limit.
