Beta access clue: level 25 is the current expected gate
In its September 17, 2026 Known Issues, Blizzard states: Opening the Legacy System with Y before level 25 causes LUA errors on tabs 1 and 3. This strongly implies level 25 is the intended access point in the current Beta design, but it should remain provisional until Blizzard documents the rule directly.
