'''Heirloom''' is an [[item]] type that was introduced with [[Wrath of the Lich King]].<ref name="discover">http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=9679633896&sid=2000#18</ref> The items have a golden hue in their text color, and their attributes scale with the character's level.<ref name="detail">http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=9679633896&sid=2000&pageNo=4#75</ref> Nearly all heirloom items are named after popular items from the early days of Classic WoW, and share the look of these items.

Once purchased, heirlooms bind to the account, as opposed to an individual character. This means they can be mailed to any character that shares the same account and server, including those of opposing faction ([[patch 3.3]]). Heirloom items can be returned for a refund within the normal two-hour grace period, but only if the item was not mailed to a different character yet.
−
'''High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque''', King of [[Gnome]]s, is the current leader of [[Gnomeregan]].
  
   
  +
Heirloom items do not have a durability stat, and do not need to be repaired. This saves money when leveling your character.
−
==Background==
  
−
[[File:Gelbin Mekkatorque.jpg|thumb|left|Gelbin Mekkatorque]]
  
−
The [[gnome]]s have not had a proper king or queen for over four hundred years. Instead, they prefer to elect their highest officials for set terms of service.<ref>''[[World of Warcraft]]'' manual, pg. 175</ref><ref name="APG146">''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg. 146</ref><ref name="MG168">''[[Monster Guide]]'', pg. 168</ref> The highest office in [[Gnomeregan]], [[High Tinker]], has been held by the crafty Gelbin Mekkatorque for the past seven to nine years. Gelbin is one of the most renowned inventors ever, and has been honored as a just and skillful leader. While in office, High Tinkers are allowed to hold grand titles but only hold their power for set terms of office, after which they return to the work force. Mekkatorque took on the title "King of the Gnomes".<ref name="APG146"/><ref name="APG147">''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg. 147</ref> The "king of the gnomes" is a bit less silly than the title sounds (but still pretty crazy).<ref name="APG167">''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg. 167</ref>
  
   
  +
For classes that can wear [[mail]] and [[plate]] items, while the character is under level 40, heirlooms will appear as [[leather]] or mail [[armor]] types until that character is able to wear the mail or plate armor type. For instance, when purchasing an heirloom for a level 12 [[shaman]], you want to buy a mail heirloom item, which will scale down to leather when equipped on the shaman until the shaman reaches level 40, when it will become mail again.
−
However, when the [[trogg]]s began their invasion of Gnomeregan, Gelbin was unprepared to stop them. At the behest of his top adviser, Mekgineer [[Sicco Thermaplugg]], he ordered that the city be bathed in toxic radiation. So the radiation bomb was released.<ref name="APG146"/><ref name="MG168"/><ref name="APG147"/> Though the radiation stopped the troggs' advance, it ultimately killed more gnomes than troggs. Now the High Tinker carries the weight of the dead on his shoulders and seeks to avenge his people by reclaiming their lost city.<ref>''[[World of Warcraft]]'' manual, pg. 176</ref>
  
   
  +
Heirloom [[shoulders]], [[:Category:World of Warcraft chest items|chest]]pieces, [[cloak]]s, [[helm]]s and the [[ring]] allow greater [[experience]] gains while wearing them. The experience bonuses stack with each other and with the [[rested]] bonus, and affect experience gains from [[quests]], but do not stack with [[Essence of Wintergrasp]]. The maximum possible experience bonus from heirlooms alone is 40%.
−
While he suffered flak wounds from the release of the bomb in Gnomeregan, his genius is still strong enough to keep his title. He's a good man, too.<ref name="APG147"/>
  
   
  +
Heirloom item restrictions are skill based and not class based. For instance, any class could wear the cloth shoulders and chest for the 20% experience boost, but classes such as warriors and rogues would not benefit from the item's casting stats.
−
Mekkatorque spends the overwhelming majority of his time working on plans to retake Gnomeregan, knowing that many of his people are still trapped inside with no means of escape. While he appreciates the hospitality of the dwarves, Ironforge is too small for both races, at least in the long term. In addition to his efforts to retake Gnomeregan, Mekkatorque works with the dwarves on a regular basis to perfect new military technology and strategies. He is partially responsible for the new models of dwarven flying machines being sent into the field, but his people are too few to make much more of a contribution to the Alliance at this time. Mekkatorque has also assigned a team to researching anti-Scourge weaponry, knowing that an undead attack is imminent.<ref name="APG167"/>
  
   
  +
==Stat values==
−
He was one of the members of two pairs of gnomes that are credited with the construction of the [[Deeprun Tram]], a fast running form of transportation between Ironforge and [[Stormwind]].<ref>{{ref web|url=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/publictransportation.html#deepruntram|title=WoW -> Info -> Basics -> Public Transportation|publisher=Blizzard Entertainment|accessdate=2010-02-20}}</ref> Gnomish inventors organize into pairs, an odd crazy-guy/sane-guy relationship. One is always trying to push the limits of his devices to unknowable extremes while the other does everything he can to keep the invention from becoming disastrous. It was two pairings of just this type that created the underground railroad that connects Ironforge to Stormwind Keep.<ref name="APG146"/> It is however unclear of which member Gelbin represented in his pair, the "crazy" one, or the "sane" one.
  
  +
An heirloom's stats correspond to the [[item level]] of a [[Rare|blue quality item]] requiring its wearer's level, except that for cloak and helm heirlooms, the stats stop increasing at level 80. However, heirlooms give bonuses to four different stats from a far lower level than blue items start doing so. At level 80, heirlooms are approximately equivalent to an [[item level]] 187 {{quality|rare}} item, and will ultimately be replaced by questing, instancing, and PvP at the maximum level.
   
  +
On reaching levels 58 and 68, players will notice unusually large stat increases to heirlooms, because these are the lowest required levels for blues introduced in, respectively, [[Burning Crusade]] and [[Wrath of the Lich King]]. The same is true at level 81 for [[Cataclysm]] heirloom cloaks. However, while blue items introduced in Cataclysm all require at least level 81, uncommon items of level 272 only require level 77.
−
==In World of Warcraft==
  
−
{{wow-section}}
  
−
'''High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque''' is a [[boss]] and [[quest giver]] located in [[Tinker Town]] in the [[dwarf]] city of [[Ironforge]].
  
   
  +
For almost any given justice-point heirloom weapon or armor item, as well as for each of the heirloom cloaks at level 80, there exist four uncommon replacements that:
−
He starts the quest {{Questlong|Alliance|35D|The Grand Betrayal}}.
  
  +
* Occur as [[world drop]]s.
  +
* Bind when equipped.
  +
* Have the same stats as the heirloom with higher values.
  +
* Have required levels of 77, 78, 79 and 80.
  +
* Have item levels of 272, 278, 283 and 289.
  +
* Have four consecutive item IDs (see [[ItemString]]).
  +
* Have the [[item suffix]] "of the Earthfall" (for Strength items), "of the Windflurry" (for Agility items), or "of the Fireflash" (for Intellect items).
   
  +
==Tips for Early Purchasing==
−
During [[Brewfest]], Mekkatorque will ride out of the city to the festival grounds at 6 A.M. and 6 P.M. each day for the ceremonial [[Brewfest#Tapping_of_the_Keg|tapping of the keg]]. Players present when he does this will receive a 2 hour ''Brewfest Enthusiast'' [[buff]] that increases [[XP]] gained by 10%.
  
  +
If you're thrifty and plan to level several alts, aim for gear many different classes can use even if the gear might be not be optimal for all of them. This is especially important since enchants for such gear tend to go for high prices on auction houses. For example, spell shoulders and spell staffs are popular heirlooms since nearly all classes that use mana can find some use for them compared to stuff like paladin-specific spellplate. Similarly, shoulders of ''any'' kind should take preference over weapons, the former for their experience boost (even if it creates suboptimal stats) while the latter are mostly a convenience to the player with the exception of gear-dependent tanks.
   
  +
==Enchanting your Heirlooms==
−
See [[List of Ironforge NPCs]].
  
  +
Heirlooms can be enchanted only with enhancements that will not bind the item to the character. The items are treated as [[item level]] 1, and as such can not use most [[Burning Crusade]] or higher enhancements; however, [[Death Knight]] [[runes]] are allowed on heirloom weapons. Also worth considering is the fact that some of the enhancements that can be used will not actually take effect unless the character using them is of the appropriate level (primarily shoulder and head enchants).
   
  +
==Head==
−
===The Liberation of Gnomeregan===
  
−
{{Wotlk-section}}
 +
{{Cata-section}}
   
  +
Heirloom heads have a 10% experience boost from quests and kills and stack with all other Heirloom items.
−
During the [[Operation: Gnomeregan]] event leading up to [[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm|''Cataclysm'']], Mekkatorque led the gnomes and their allies in an attempt to retake his beloved city from Thermaplugg and his minions.
  
   
  +
These items are sold by [[Guild vendor]]s for after completing the achievement {{achievement|Guild Level 20}}. You will also need {{rep|Honored|Guild Reputation|Honored Guild Reputation}} to purchase these items.
−
==Cataclysm==
  
−
{{Cata-section}}
  
−
In the upcoming expansion ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]'', '''High Tinker Mekkatorque''' can be found under a tent at [[New Tinkertown]], the portions of Gnomeregan's surface reclaimed during the battle against Thermaplugg. He is present at the [[Elemental Unrest]] meeting. During the [[Elemental Unrest]], Mekkatorque protects the [[Military Ward]] of Ironforge from the Elements.
  
   
  +
Below, classes in square brackets are not in the proper armor class, but will still get the stat benefit from the listed heirloom. Classes in brackets will find the heirloom significantly weaker than another one, but will still benefit. Keep this in mind if buying an heirloom for several [[alt]]s to use.
−
Strangely, the High Tinker and his aides are [[friendly]] to [[Horde]] players. Mekkatorque can even be spoken to.
  
   
  +
The head enchants available at revered with certain factions are also heirloom-quality items, but are only useable by level 80 characters. This is to allow for the use of these powerful enchants without having to grind through the [[reputation]]s with another character.

== Trivia ==
 +
===Helm Enchants===
  +
The shoulder enchants from the Inscription profession will work on Heirlooms shoulders at any level, however you will require Inscription for the enchant to take effect. This means minimum level required is 65 (to have 400 skill). The pvp shoulder enchant will only work when your character reaches level 70.
−
*In World of Warcraft, Gelbin Mekkatorque is a few inches taller than other gnomes.
  
−
*High Tinker is an elected position, though the rulers are allowed to choose grand titles for themselves. Gelbin calls himself "King of Gnomes", which oddly seems to mirror Sicco Thermaplug's self-styled title of "King of Gnomeregan", which was an act of egotism on his part.
  
−
*Mekkatorque is, like most gnomes, using a mechanostrider for traveling. The strider-model he is using seems to be a [[White Mechanostrider Mod B]] that can be seen when he is venturing outside Ironforge during Brewfest. While this mount give players a 100% speed increase, the one Mekkatorque use is moving much slower and can actually be outrun by a 60% speed increase-mount. Still, it moves faster than a player is able to run and seems to, conveniently, be instant-cast. As Mekkatorque is slightly larger than other gnomes, his mechanostrider is also a little larger than the same model when used by a player.
  
−
*During Operation: Gnomeregan Mekkatorque says "IT'S A TRAP! That's a fully functional irradiator!" which is a reference to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi where Admiral Ackbar yells "It's a trap!" after discovering that the second Death Star is functional and that they've been lead into a trap.

Shoulder [[enchants]], available at [[exalted]] with the [[Sons of Hodir]], are also heirloom-quality items, but are only usable by level 80 characters. This is to allow for the use of these powerful enchants without having to grind through the [[reputation]]s (particularly Sons of Hodir) with another character. If your character has the ability to craft or purchase shoulder enchants of their own, they can be applied to the heirloom shoulders.

Revision as of 16:41, 30 March 2011

Heirloom is an item type that was introduced with Wrath of the Lich King.[1] The items have a golden hue in their text color, and their attributes scale with the character's level.[2] Nearly all heirloom items are named after popular items from the early days of Classic WoW, and share the look of these items.

Once purchased, heirlooms bind to the account, as opposed to an individual character. This means they can be mailed to any character that shares the same account and server, including those of opposing faction (patch 3.3). Heirloom items can be returned for a refund within the normal two-hour grace period, but only if the item was not mailed to a different character yet.

Heirloom items do not have a durability stat, and do not need to be repaired. This saves money when leveling your character.

For classes that can wear mail and plate items, while the character is under level 40, heirlooms will appear as leather or mail armor types until that character is able to wear the mail or plate armor type. For instance, when purchasing an heirloom for a level 12 shaman, you want to buy a mail heirloom item, which will scale down to leather when equipped on the shaman until the shaman reaches level 40, when it will become mail again.

Heirloom shoulders, chestpieces, cloaks, helms and the ring allow greater experience gains while wearing them. The experience bonuses stack with each other and with the rested bonus, and affect experience gains from quests, but do not stack with Inv essenceofwintergrasp [Essence of Wintergrasp]. The maximum possible experience bonus from heirlooms alone is 40%.

Heirloom item restrictions are skill based and not class based. For instance, any class could wear the cloth shoulders and chest for the 20% experience boost, but classes such as warriors and rogues would not benefit from the item's casting stats.

Stat values

An heirloom's stats correspond to the item level of a blue quality item requiring its wearer's level, except that for cloak and helm heirlooms, the stats stop increasing at level 80. However, heirlooms give bonuses to four different stats from a far lower level than blue items start doing so. At level 80, heirlooms are approximately equivalent to an item level 187 rare item, and will ultimately be replaced by questing, instancing, and PvP at the maximum level.

On reaching levels 58 and 68, players will notice unusually large stat increases to heirlooms, because these are the lowest required levels for blues introduced in, respectively, Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. The same is true at level 81 for Cataclysm heirloom cloaks. However, while blue items introduced in Cataclysm all require at least level 81, uncommon items of level 272 only require level 77.

For almost any given justice-point heirloom weapon or armor item, as well as for each of the heirloom cloaks at level 80, there exist four uncommon replacements that:

  • Occur as world drops.
  • Bind when equipped.
  • Have the same stats as the heirloom with higher values.
  • Have required levels of 77, 78, 79 and 80.
  • Have item levels of 272, 278, 283 and 289.
  • Have four consecutive item IDs (see ItemString).
  • Have the item suffix "of the Earthfall" (for Strength items), "of the Windflurry" (for Agility items), or "of the Fireflash" (for Intellect items).

Tips for Early Purchasing

If you're thrifty and plan to level several alts, aim for gear many different classes can use even if the gear might be not be optimal for all of them. This is especially important since enchants for such gear tend to go for high prices on auction houses. For example, spell shoulders and spell staffs are popular heirlooms since nearly all classes that use mana can find some use for them compared to stuff like paladin-specific spellplate. Similarly, shoulders of any kind should take preference over weapons, the former for their experience boost (even if it creates suboptimal stats) while the latter are mostly a convenience to the player with the exception of gear-dependent tanks.

Enchanting your Heirlooms

Heirlooms can be enchanted only with enhancements that will not bind the item to the character. The items are treated as item level 1, and as such can not use most Burning Crusade or higher enhancements; however, Death Knight runes are allowed on heirloom weapons. Also worth considering is the fact that some of the enhancements that can be used will not actually take effect unless the character using them is of the appropriate level (primarily shoulder and head enchants).

Head

Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.

Heirloom heads have a 10% experience boost from quests and kills and stack with all other Heirloom items.

These items are sold by Guild vendors for after completing the achievement Money achievement Guild Level 20. You will also need Honored Guild Reputation to purchase these items.

Below, classes in square brackets are not in the proper armor class, but will still get the stat benefit from the listed heirloom. Classes in brackets will find the heirloom significantly weaker than another one, but will still benefit. Keep this in mind if buying an heirloom for several alts to use.

The head enchants available at revered with certain factions are also heirloom-quality items, but are only useable by level 80 characters. This is to allow for the use of these powerful enchants without having to grind through the reputations with another character.

Name Type Cost Recommended Classes
[Tattered Dreadmist Mask] Cloth 1500g Mage, Warlock, Priest, [Druid], [Shaman], [Paladin]
[Preened Tribal War Feathers] Spell Leather 1500g Druid, [Shaman], [Paladin]
[Stained Shadowcraft Cap] Leather 1500g Druid, Rogue, [Shaman], [Hunter], ([Paladin]), ([Warrior]), ([Death Knight])
[Mystical Coif of Elements] Spell Mail 1500g Shaman, [Paladin]
[Tarnished Raging Berserker's Helm] Mail 1500g Shaman, Hunter, ([Paladin]), ([Warrior]), ([Death Knight])
[Polished Helm of Valor] Plate 1500g Paladin, Warrior, Death Knight

Helm Enchants

The shoulder enchants from the Inscription profession will work on Heirlooms shoulders at any level, however you will require Inscription for the enchant to take effect. This means minimum level required is 65 (to have 400 skill). The pvp shoulder enchant will only work when your character reaches level 70.

Name Slot Faction Reputation Cost
[Arcanum of Hyjal] Head Guardians of Hyjal Revered 150g
[Arcanum of the Dragonmaw] Head Horde Dragonmaw Clan Revered 150g
[Arcanum of the Earthen Ring] Head The Earthen Ring Revered 150g
[Arcanum of the Ramkahen] Head Ramkahen Revered 150g
[Arcanum of the Wildhammer] Head Alliance Wildhammer Clan Revered 150g

[Arcanum of Torment] Head Knights of the Ebon Blade Revered 150g
[Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector] Head Argent Crusade Revered 150g

Shoulders

The heirloom shoulders were originally sold only in Wintergrasp or Dalaran. In Patch 3.2.0, the shoulders sold in Dalaran are also purchasable from Dame Evniki Kapsalis at the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown for Champion's Seals once the title <Crusader> has been earned.[3].

Shoulder enchants, available at exalted with the Sons of Hodir, are also heirloom-quality items, but are only usable by level 80 characters. This is to allow for the use of these powerful enchants without having to grind through the reputations (particularly Sons of Hodir) with another character. If your character has the ability to craft or purchase shoulder enchants of their own, they can be applied to the heirloom shoulders.

Note that these Heirloom items are only the highest level version of the item the faction vendor carries. For example, [Lesser Inscription of the Axe] is not an Heirloom and the name will not appear in a brown color in the vendor's trade window.

The shoulder enchants from the Inscription profession will work on Heirlooms shoulders at any level, however you will require Inscription for the enchant to take effect. This means minimum level required is 65 (to have 400 skill). The pvp shoulder enchant will only work when your character reaches level 70.

Name Slot Faction Reputation Cost
[Greater Inscription of the Axe] Shoulder Sons of Hodir Exalted 100g
[Greater Inscription of the Crag] Shoulder Sons of Hodir Exalted 100g
[Greater Inscription of the Pinnacle] Shoulder Sons of Hodir Exalted 100g
[Greater Inscription of the Storm] Shoulder Sons of Hodir Exalted 100g

Chestpieces

Heirloom chestpieces have a 10% experience boost from quests and kills, and this boost stacks with the 10% from the shoulders (thus making leveling for the lower-levels much easier)[4].

These can be purchased from Dame Evniki Kapsalis once the title <Crusader> has been earned, at the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown costing 60 Ability paladin artofwar [Champion's Seal], or from Enchanter Erodin (Horde) / Enchanter Isian (Alliance) in Dalaran costing 2175 Justice Points.

Below, classes in square brackets are not in the proper armor class, but will still get the full benefit from the listed heirloom. Classes in brackets will find the heirloom significantly weaker than another one, but will still benefit. Keep this in mind if buying an heirloom for several alts to use.

Cloaks

Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.

Heirloom Cloaks have a 5% experience boost from quests and kills and stack with all other Heirloom items.

These items are sold by Guild vendors for 1200g after completing the achievement Money achievement Guild Level 10. You will also need Honored Guild Reputation to purchase these items.

Classes in brackets will find the heirloom significantly weaker than another one, but will still benefit. Keep this in mind if buying an heirloom for several alts to use. Since all the cloaks have Stamina, Crit and Haste along with the experience bonus, they can benefit any class despite not being ideal.
