How to Get Hero Talents in WoW: The War Within

When you enter the game with the expansion enabled and open your Talent Tree, you’ll notice a third new tree in the middle of the screen. These are your Hero Talents, but they are locked until you meet two key conditions, and neither of them is overly difficult to achieve.

To unlock them, make sure you have The War Within purchased and have started the new campaign questline. The campaign takes you to the ancient lands of Khaz Algar, and you’re required to go there to unlock your Hero Talent tree.

After that, all you need to do is reach level 71, and the new talents will automatically unlock. Simply questing in The War Within should provide more than enough experience to get you there. As you progress from level 70 to 80, you’ll earn one Hero Talent point per level, which can only be used on the Hero Talent tree of your choice.

Unlike previous new systems in WoW, there’s no additional questline, trigger, or condition needed to unlock these talents, which is rather surprising. Nonetheless, by following these two straightforward steps, you’ll be able to fully enjoy the new Hero Talents. Just like normal talents, Hero Talents can be respeced for free, so feel free to experiment and play around with your class’s new powers.
