Gold could be offset with holiday or Darkmoon Faire currency to buy upgrades, but if someone bought the original heirloom for 500 gold, Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing for 500g, Timeworn Heirloom Armor Casing for 1,000g, Weathered Heirloom Armor Casing for 2,000g, and Battle-Hardened Heirloom Armor Casing for 5,000g, that’s a grand total of 9,000 gold for each Head, Shoulder, Back, Chest, Leg, and Neck piece - in each armor class, if you needed it. Most importantly, they can be transmogged at level 1, and keep that look forever, making your alts stylish.įor these benefits, heirlooms cost you a pretty penny. Some can be gemmed, and they can also be enchanted, providing a little extra benefit without having to reapply this repeatedly. They also don’t suffer durability loss, saving you gold on repairs. This is great when leveling in dungeons, when you’re not receiving as many quest rewards. They scale with level, and will be relevant at every level without worrying about gear drops. In addition to the experience boost, heirlooms have other benefits. Later, heirlooms could be upgraded to make them relevant to each expansion. Over the course of following expansions, more heirlooms were added. Heirlooms are items first introduced in Wrath of the Lich King that could be shared among characters across the account, and provided experience boosts. So, what’s the point of adding new heirloom upgrades in patch 9.1.5 when the main benefit was already removed? This was a controversial move at the time, and remains a point of contention for a lot of players. The weapon upgrade hasn’t changed, as it never provided experience, but the gear upgrade used to provide experience for the current expansion, and now it doesn’t. There are new heirloom upgrades coming in patch 9.1.5, and they are expensive - 12,500 gold for each upgrade for armor, and 18,000 gold for the weapon upgrade.
