How to Get Unity on Alts in World of Warcraft
Getting the Unity legendary power on your alts in World of Warcraft is thankfully much easier than it might initially seem. Once you’ve acquired and learned the Unity power on one of your characters, it automatically becomes available to all your other characters (alts). You don’t need to purchase it again for each of them. This system is a huge relief for players who maintain multiple characters. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of how to ensure your alts benefit from the Unity power.
How It Works: Unity is Account-Wide
The key to understanding how to get Unity on alts lies in the way the system is designed. Unlike most legendary powers that need to be farmed and recreated on each character, the Memory of Unity is a special case. Once you learn the Memory of Unity on one character, this unlock is account-wide. This means it appears in your collection for every character, making it very convenient to access. You do not need to go through all the original processes once you unlock it on your main character.
Accessing Unity on Your Alt
Here’s how to access it on your alts:
- Power Tab: On your alt, open your character sheet and navigate to the “Power” tab.
- Unity Power: You’ll see the Unity power listed there, just like any other legendary power your character has access to.
- Legendary Crafting: If you want to craft a new legendary with the Unity power (instead of using the default belt), you need to use a Memory of Unity. This memory will allow you to craft a legendary using the Unity power on any slot you prefer.
- No Additional Purchase: You will not need to purchase the Memory of Unity multiple times since it is account-wide.
The Initial Acquisition: Revered & Chapter 7
Of course, before you can enjoy this convenient system, you need to acquire the Memory of Unity initially. This process must be done on at least one character, and it includes:
- Zereth Mortis Campaign: Complete the Zereth Mortis campaign on your chosen main character. This is a crucial step in unlocking access to The Enlightened vendor.
- Revered Reputation: Achieve Revered reputation with The Enlightened faction. This is a significant part of the grind to unlock the purchase of the Memory of Unity.
- The Enlightened Quartermaster: Once you have the required reputation, purchase the Memory of Unity from Vilo, the Enlightened Quartermaster in Haven. The cost is 500 Cosmic Flux.
Two Options for Unity Legendaries
Once you have the Memory of Unity on your account, you have two main options for gearing your alts with the Unity legendary power:
Option 1: The Belt of Unity
The Belt of Unity is a pre-made legendary item (Cinch of Unity, for example) available from The Enlightened vendor. If you completed the Zereth Mortis campaign you have already received it as a reward. This belt grants the Unity legendary power immediately. This option is often used initially as a fast way to get the legendary without any crafting. However, it is not upgradable beyond its baseline 265 ilvl and is locked to the belt slot.
Option 2: Memory of Unity for Custom Legendary
If you want to use Unity in a different slot, you should choose to craft it via the Memory of Unity. This approach allows for more customization and lets you put the Unity effect on a higher item level piece of gear. This option is ideal for min-maxing and builds that benefit from specific itemization. You can craft the legendary via the Runecarver in Torghast.

Yes, you can switch between them at any time as needed, based on your strategy and gear.
15. Do all classes have the same Unity power?
