With Patch 7.2.5, usable heirlooms return to World of Warcraft. At least if you can pay the price.
Players have complained for long enough that leveling in Legion is so tedious and that especially second characters take a lot of time. While all zones in World of Warcraft: Legion scale, it is almost essential to complete all zones if one does not level through dungeons and PvP. With Patch 7.2.5, that has come to an end, as heirlooms make their comeback.
Heirlooms are equipment items that scale with the player’s level. You can wear them at level 1 and carry them up to the maximum level without having to worry about better gear along the way. As a special bonus, heirlooms also grant a passive bonus to experience gained. Between 5% and 10% per item is available, which drastically reduces the number of quests needed for leveling up.
Heirloom upgrade costs 5,000 Gold
So far, the heirlooms could only be used up to level 100, after which they did not scale further. With the upcoming Patch 7.2.5, there is once again the opportunity to use the heirlooms up to the maximum level – that is, 110.
As usual, the new items for upgrading are available in Ironforge and Undercity. Upgrading an item costs 5,000 Gold and is only possible if the heirloom has already been upgraded to level 100. Anyone wanting to have a complete “set” of heirlooms should expect to pay between 50,000 and 100,000 Gold. By the way, weapons can also be upgraded, in case one – for whatever reason – does not want to play directly with the artifact weapon.
Please note that the prices currently apply to the PTR and could rise before the patch is released.
