How to respec in WoW Forever: reset costs and dual spec
What Blizzard's beta notes say about WoW Forever respec costs, the Legacy tree respec, and what is still unconfirmed about dual spec.
The quick answer
Blizzard's beta notes show that respeccing costs gold: 1 silver if you have not changed talents recently, a much higher price for the next reset, back to 1 silver after an hour. Blizzard calls this temporary for the beta. The pages checked do not say where you respec or confirm dual spec; the Warcraft Wiki lists dual spec at level 40 for 10 gold without a citation.

World of Warcraft: Forever charges money to reset talents, and Blizzard’s beta notes describe how that fee behaves for now. No Blizzard page checked for this guide says where you reset or when dual spec unlocks. The only dual spec figures come from the Warcraft Wiki, which gives no citation for them.
What does a talent respec cost?
Blizzard’s beta development notes contain two dated respec rules. Both apply to the beta.
| Note | Rule | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| September 24 | “If you have not recently changed your talents, the cost is now 1 silver to re-spec.” After the first reset the cost is “much higher”, and it drops to 1 silver after 1 hour has passed. | “Temporary for the Beta only” |
| October 8 | The lowest-cost talent point re-spec for Legacy Points costs 1 silver, and the cost reduces by one re-spec per hour. | Beta only, per the developers’ note |
The notes give no number for the price after the first reset. Blizzard calls the 1 silver price a beta measure, so it is not a launch price. The October 8 developers’ note says the Legacy rule is similar to how re-spec costs work for class talents.
Where do you reset talents?
The checked Blizzard pages do not name a place. The Warcraft Wiki says, in its Legacy section and without a citation, that characters can “respec the trees as necessary at class trainers”. It gives no location for class talents. Treat both as unconfirmed until a Blizzard page or a launch client says otherwise.
Legacy trees are a separate respec
Blizzard’s Deep Dive recap describes Legacy Trees as a separate system from class talents, with Professions, Adventure and Resourcefulness at launch. The October 8 note above is the only checked Blizzard line on respeccing them. Spending rules and point totals are covered in the Legacy guide.
Is there dual spec in WoW Forever?
Blizzard has not published a dual spec page that this guide could check. None of the development notes posted through October 15 mentions dual spec. One October 15 line fixes an issue where Rogues “could swap specializations to keep their energy full”. It does not say whether that swap was dual spec or an ordinary respec.
The Warcraft Wiki’s Forever page states the following in its dual talent specialization section, with no citation:
| Wiki statement | Quote |
|---|---|
| Unlock | “Dual spec is available at level 40 from class trainers for 10g” |
| Swapping | Players “may freely swap between two specs at any time outside of combat or battlegrounds” |
| Respec fee | “The respec fee still applies if players want to change the active talents in the current spec.” |
| Fee decay | “Each spec has its own respec fee that will slowly drop its way down to 1g over time.” |
The wiki’s “drop to 1g” wording differs from Blizzard’s beta rule of 1 silver after an hour, so the two should not be merged into one fee. A separate Realm First report covers a Wowhead summary of a developer podcast remark about the dual spec unlock level, linked from this article. It is not a Blizzard page and this guide does not rely on it.
