Talents: what we know

3 of 5 answered All of them →
  1. How many talent points are there, and from what level?

    Answered
    51 points, one for each level 10 to 60.

    The first point is level 10.

    From the beta build Talent trees overview

  2. How many points can I actually spend in the beta today?

    Answered
    21.

    The beta caps characters at level 30 since 1 October 2026, and one point arrives per level from level 10. The calculator still draws all 51, because that is what the build holds.

  3. Are Legacy points the same as talent points?

    Answered
    No.

    They are two currencies. Talent points are per character and there are 51 of them; Legacy points are earned once on the account and spent per character, with their own cap and their own three trees.

    From the beta build Legacy SystemLegacy calculator

  4. What does a respec cost, and where do I do it?

    Not known yet

    2 class trainers have been visited in the beta so far and 9 prices written down from those. None of those was a price to unlearn talents. Last looked 14 October 2026.

    Blizzard has not said, and we have not seen it in game yet.

  5. Is dual spec in? What does it cost, and at what level?

    Not known yet

    Players have asked for it on the official forums and there has been no reply; nothing in the build answers the cost or the level either. Last looked 14 October 2026.
