So far, WoW SoD has not been shy about including quality-of-life features that encourage players to experiment with new builds and try new things. One long-requested feature is Dual Specialization, which allows players to have two sets of Talent trees that they can swap between whenever they like.

Finally added in Phase 3 of WoW SoD, Dual Spec can be unlocked much earlier than in vanilla WoW – and it's significantly cheaper, too. This guide explains what exactly Dual Spec is, what it applies to, and where the Dual Spec trainer is for both Alliance and Horde players.
WoW SoD Dual Specialization, Explained
Dual Spec is essentially a way for players to have two sets of Talents that they can swap between at any time. Instead of heading to a class trainer and spending gold to reset Talent points, Dual Spec lets players have a backup Talent tree that can be activated anywhere as long as they are out of combat.
In WoW SoD Dual Spec only applies to Talents, and will not automatically equip new gear, re-organize your action bars for new skills, or assign new Runes that are more suited for your second build. Unless you use specific SoD addons, you will have to manually re-equip gear, apply the proper Runes to them, and sort out your abilities and keymappings to suit the second build.
How To Get Dual Spec in WoW SoD
Dual Spec Requirements in SoD
Back when it was first added in Patch 3.1 in April 2009, Dual Spec cost 1000g to unlock and was only available to max-level characters. In the Season of Discovery, though, players can unlock this useful feature far earlier, and for far cheaper.

To unlock Dual Spec in SoD, a character just needs to be Level 40 and have 50 Gold to spend on the service. That's it – and with all the ways to make money in WoW SoD, getting 50 Gold by Level 40 is not too difficult. After getting to Level 40 and earning enough gold, head to one of two capital cities (depending on your faction) to find a new NPC who offers the service.
WoW SoD Dual Spec Trainer Locations
Players of factions should look for the same NPC, a Dwarf named Grendag Brightbeard, in either Ironforge or Orgrimmar.
- Alliance players should head to Ironforge, to the Forlorn Cavern. Grendag Brightbeard is located near the tunnel that leads to The Mystic Ward on the west side.
- Horde players should head to Orgrimmar, to the Valley of Strength. Grendag Brightbeard is located near the entrance to The Drag in the Valley of Strength's northeast corner.
Talk to him and get through his dialogue to be able to purchase Dual Spec in WoW SoD. Once unlocked, Dual Spec can be accessed from your Talents page.
