A WoW Forever guide. Check the stated version and date: mechanics may change during development.
Separate the total from the selection
belong to the account; are chosen for a character. Blizzard’s official WoW Forever overview of September 23, dated in UTC, describes shared for non- characters. Each character chooses independently within its available spending limit. Spending on one does not use up another’s allocation. A shared total does not require identical selections.
Start with what this character will do
Write one intended activity for the character’s next session. Read the current descriptions and identify which benefit serves that activity. Compare the description with your purpose before choosing. Keep a short note explaining the match. A useful choice on another character may bring little value to the task you have planned for this one.
An extra character is not a requirement
The overview says alternate characters are not required to benefit and that all character can be unlocked on a single character. This does not promise that every is active together. Read current requirements and the spending limit before allocating. Choose for the character you intend to play, rather than creating another only because the are shared.
