'''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.

Ok, I started to update the Warrior articles a little while back, and it’s slowly growing into the mammoth task of updating the Class articles as a whole! Anyway I have just updated this article;
  
−
[[Warrior_glyphs]] and would like your thoughts please – I think it’s much clearer than the original (have a look here [[Warlock glyphs]] for how all the pages are laid out at the moment) If I get positive feed back will update them all in a similar fashion.

Heirloom items do not have a durability stat, and do not need to be repaired. This saves money when leveling your character.
−
--[[User:Wren|Wren]] ([[User talk:Wren|talk]]) 17:18, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
  
   
  +
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.

:I like the idea of having the left-most column span all of the primes, then span all of the majors, etc. [[Mage glyphs]] was done a bit differently by adding in the effect as a last column. I think it would be really cool to put the two ideas together. [[User:Ddcorkum|D.D. Corkum]] ([[User_talk:Ddcorkum|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Ddcorkum|C]]) 18:06, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
  
   
  +
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%.
−
::Okay, I've changed [[Mage glyphs]] to reflect some of the work you did, notably the left column. [[User:Ddcorkum|D.D. Corkum]] ([[User_talk:Ddcorkum|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Ddcorkum|C]]) 23:50, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
  
   
  +
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.
−
:::Ok done [[Hunter glyphs]] it looks much better I believe! [[User:Wren|Wren]] ([[User talk:Wren|talk]]) 11:02, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

==Stat values==
−
;Updated to [[Warrior glyphs]] standard
  
  +
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.

:Add the checkmark (<code>&amp;#x2713;</code> &rarr; &#x2713;), if you've updated it. --[[Image:gengar orange 22x22.png]]&nbsp;[[User:Fandyllic|Fandyllic]] <small>([[User talk:Fandyllic|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Fandyllic|contribs]])</small> 4:08 PM PST 29 Nov 2010
  
   
  +
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.
−
== Request for no subcategories version ==
  
−
:Ok had some comments on the updated glyph pages, some people would prefer the glyphs not to have sub categories (i.e. Holy/Protection/Retribution) have a look at [[User:Wren/test4]] and tell me what you prefer. [[User:Wren|Wren]] ([[User talk:Wren|talk]]) 13:24, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
  
   
  +
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:
−
::I like the 2nd. At least for Priests, there are a few glyphs which are good for all 3 talent specs (shadowfiend, levitate, etc), which shouldn't be pigeonholed into 'Shadow' or 'Disc' when its good for any spec. [[User:Ressy|Ressy]] ([[User talk:Ressy|talk]]) 19:31, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
  
  +
* Occur as [[world drop]]s.
−
::I'm going to change Priests to the 2nd version if theres no objection. [[User:Ressy|Ressy]] ([[User talk:Ressy|talk]]) 21:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
  
  +
* 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==
−
:::How about making the table transcluded, but you can pass a variable setting to make it show the subcategories or not... See [[Forum:Glyph_pages_update/Sandbox]]. You could make the default table show the subcategories version and have a link to it, but transclude the no subcategories version on the page.
  
  +
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.
−
:::This way you could have both versions, but only maintain one table. Does this make sense? --[[Image:gengar orange 22x22.png]]&nbsp;[[User:Fandyllic|Fandyllic]] <small>([[User talk:Fandyllic|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Fandyllic|contribs]])</small> 2:33 PM PST 3 Dec 2010
  
   
  +
==Shoulders==
−
::::On second thought, we should probably just standardize on the no talent tree subcategories version.
  
  +
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 Seal]]s once the title {{title|[[Crusader (title)|Crusader]]}} has been earned.<ref>{{ref web |url=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=18600878587&sid=1&pageNo=4 |title=Re: 3.2 new heirlooms |accessdate=2009-10-07 |author=[[Zarhym]] |date=2009-07-24}}</ref>.

==Chestpieces==
−
:::::I would prefer to not have the subcategories. If we follow a format similar to [[Mage glyphs]] then this information could be passed on by adding a column, but I don't think it should be passed on as a header. This creates too many headers. [[User:Ddcorkum|D.D. Corkum]] ([[User_talk:Ddcorkum|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Ddcorkum|C]]) 01:41, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
  
  +
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)<ref>{{ref web |url=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?sid=1&topicId=17631614834&pageNo=2&ST=US-1711575-IAOAptRJpFh55KAVyNbuTj4y3iSBRiaQcpH#36 |title=Re: 3.2 new heirlooms |accessdate=2009-08-03 |author=Zarhym |date=2009-06-16 |quote=One thing I can tell you is that chest piece heirlooms will be available in the next content patch. They will provide a 10% experience bonus that stacks with the shoulder bonus.}}</ref>.
   
  +
These can be purchased from [[Dame Evniki Kapsalis]] once the title {{title|[[Crusader (title)|Crusader]]}} has been earned, at the [[Argent Tournament Grounds]] in [[Icecrown]] costing 60 [[Champion's Seal]], or from [[Enchanter Erodin]] (Horde) / [[Enchanter Isian]] (Alliance) in [[Dalaran]] costing {{Cost|jp=2175}}.

Like the shoulders, many of these [[weapons]] and other heirlooms were originally sold either in Dalaran or in Wintergrasp. Some were added as available only at the Argent Tournament, but currently both the Dalaran and Argent Tournament vendors offer the same selection of items. A quest reward [[ring]] grants players an additional 5% XP bonus.

Heirloom Cloaks have a 5% experience boost from quests and kills and stack with all other Heirloom 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 [[alt]]s to use.

==Head and Shoulder Enchants==
  +
The head enchants available at revered with certain factions, and the shoulder [[enchants]] available at [[exalted]] with the [[Sons of Hodir]], 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 (particularly Sons of Hodir) with another character.
  +
  +
Note that these Heirloom items are the only the ''highest level'' version of the item the faction vendor carries. For example, {{loot|rare|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.

==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 as of [[Patch 4.0.1]]. 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 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.
  +
  +
For the sake of space, only the most useful enchantments are included. (Note: You are able to place [[Zul'Gurub enchantment|Zandalar Signets]] on Heirloom Items if you have the rep though they require level 55 to become active; note also that these enchants are no longer available as of [[Patch 4.0.3a]].)

Revision as of 15:35, 17 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.

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].

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.

Weapons, accessories, misc.

Like the shoulders, many of these weapons and other heirlooms were originally sold either in Dalaran or in Wintergrasp. Some were added as available only at the Argent Tournament, but currently both the Dalaran and Argent Tournament vendors offer the same selection of items. A quest reward ring grants players an additional 5% XP bonus.

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.

Head and Shoulder Enchants

The head enchants available at revered with certain factions, and the shoulder enchants available at exalted with the Sons of Hodir, 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 (particularly Sons of Hodir) with another character.

Note that these Heirloom items are the 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.

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 as of Patch 4.0.1. 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 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.

For the sake of space, only the most useful enchantments are included. (Note: You are able to place Zandalar Signets on Heirloom Items if you have the rep though they require level 55 to become active; note also that these enchants are no longer available as of Patch 4.0.3a.)
